Rejects,
We are establishing these Comm-Links, which we will use to keep you all updated on news and changes you can expect to see in the short term.

Last week we saw the release of Patch 1.0.22, shortly followed by Hotfix 1.0.23 and Hotfix 1.0.24, which brought many bug fixes to penances and blessings, as well as some much-needed exploit fixes.
Thank you to everyone who gave us constructive feedback on the layout and formatting of the Patch Notes! We’ll be sure to add these ideas where possible in Patch Notes going forward.

Over the course of the next week we will be releasing Patch 1.0.25, which will focus on fixes for issues with talents, traits and some tweaks to weapons for balancing. Full Patch Notes will be available on Steam and the Darktide Forums shortly after the patch goes live.

Following Patch 1.0.25 we will also publish a Dev Blog, which will take a deeper dive into crafting and talk about some of the challenges we have had. We'll ... Read more

Rejects!
We just released 1.0.23 to fix a couple of issues found in yesterdays patch. We also just wanted to address some questions that have arisen regarding the EULA.

EULA
Today you may find yourselves being faced with the EULA once more when launching Darktide. The content of the EULA remains the same as the EULA previously presented at launch, however we made improvements to the formatting to make it easier to read, and corrected the out-of-date page title which erroneously referenced the pre-release test period. Apologies for the confusion.

Now onto the Hotfix notes!

Here are the hotfix notes:

• Fixed an issue that caused the suppression screen effects to conflict with the Psyker's when at high peril
  
• Tweaked the suppression effect to be less intrusive. This should be most noticeable when playing on higher difficulties where you are often suppressed for long periods of time.

Rejects,
First I wanted to introduce myself for those of you who don’t know me yet, Hi! I am Catfish and I will be the Community Manager for Darktide going forward. In this Update we will address some of the community’s questions following on from our recent open letter[forums.fatsharkgames.com] and give you the patch notes from this week's bugfixes.

Addressing Some Questions:

Roadmap

We hear your enthusiasm for an updated Roadmap for Darktide, however we have adjusted our short term plans to allow for more work on our top priorities which mainly revolve around getting the game to where it should be. Because we are in the process of adding changes in accordance with the feedback we have received since launch, certain features we hoped to have ... Read more

To Our Players,
We take enormous pride in our ability at Fatshark to deliver a game that millions can enjoy. This was what we set out to do with Warhammer 40,000: Darktide – to create a highly engaging and stable game with a level of depth that keeps you playing for weeks, not hours.

We fell short of meeting those expectations.

Over the next few months, our sole focus is to address the feedback that many of you have. In particular, we will focus on delivering a complete crafting system, a more rewarding progression loop, and continue to work on game stability and performance optimization.

This also means that we will delay our seasonal content rollout and the Xbox Series X|S launch. We will also suspend the upcoming releases of premium cosmetics. We just couldn’t continue down this path, knowing that we have n... Read more

‍“Human blood and human flesh – the stuff of which the Imperium is made. To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruellest and most bloody regime imaginable. This is the tale of those times.”



My name is Joakim Setterberg and I’m the Lead Level Designer on Darktide. I’m also a part of the World Team: a multi-disciplinary team of developers that create everything related to environments and missions - the game spaces in which you serve the Emperor one shovel swing at a time.

With Darktide we saw an opportunity to show Warhammer 40k through the eyes of the people who live (albeit shortly) in this universe. This was not to be a story of the demi-gods, but of the insignificant soldiers, the minuscule cogs in the war machine, and of the places they call home. That me... Read more

Rejects! In today’s community update, we’ll discuss our first significant content drop for Darktide. Due to a technical issue we found when testing one of our weapons, we’re targeting this update to arrive tomorrow, December 15th. We’ve been reading your comments on Steam, the Fatshark Forums, and Reddit and acknowledge your request for more communication, transparency, and where we’re at. Since launch, we have released a decent amount of updates and improved stability for many players, but we still recognize the need for more clarity in certain areas. Today’s community update will focus on what this drop, and with it, Patch 1.0.20 will contain, as well as give insight into some of the key areas we’re addressing.

For future community updates, we aim to cover specific topics of concern that you all have brought to us to communicate how we intend to move forward with those areas of feedback.

Stability First and foremost, we prioritize stability so you can all play the... Read more

Rejects,
Since releasing Warhammer 40,000: Darktide last week, Tertium has become a popular travel destination for many of you. It’s very humbling to see this level of excitement and know that we appreciate the support. That said, we also know that our launch was challenging for many players who had issues - some of which we are still working through.

Our commitment remains the same - for all players to enjoy our game. Our hope is that many of you can see the progress towards this commitment in the past few weeks, having released 8 hotfixes and updates since the pre-order beta launch - 4 of which were released since full launch last week. This isn’t to say we have addressed everything. In fact, we are not fully satisfied and still have work to do.

Our biggest update yet will land next week and will include further improvements, additional weapons, fixes, private sessions, and more.

In today’s update, we want to address a few questions from the commu... Read more
