Darktide’s 1.12.1 hotfix patches up Skitarii cosmetics and crash issues

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Hotfix 1.12.1 is arriving on all platforms with a focused set of bug fixes. The update restores Skitarii Deluxe Edition cosmetics at character creation, while also addressing crash cases, duplicate notifications, and a Vanguard enemy animation bug.

Patch Notes

Hotfix 1.12.1 trims down a handful of rough edges from the latest Darktide update. The biggest fix is for Skitarii Deluxe Edition cosmetics, but Fatshark also patched several crashes and cleaned up a few class-related issues.

Fixes

• If you bought the Deluxe Edition of the Skitarii DLC, the Deluxe cosmetics and customization options should now be available when attempting to create a new character immediately, without having to enter the hub or restart the game.

• Fixed an issue where Skitarii characters could not equip starter gear from other Forge World origins.

• Fixed a crash occurring when an Arc Grenade targets an enemy that died from another source before spawning the Arcs.

• Fixed a rare crash when using the Skitarii Integrated Refraction Emitter Blitz.

• Fixed an issue where players received notifications multiple times for penance rewards and when purchasing new cosmetics.

• Fixed some crashes that could occur when deploying the Skitarii Servo Skull.

• Fixed a bug where the new Vanguard Enemy would be locked in a stagger animation when hit with a Soulblaze attack.

Known Issues

• Skitarii Deluxe Edition cosmetics and customization options will only unlock once you enter the hub for the first time.

  • As a workaround, please enter the hub with one of your existing characters before making your Skitarii to create it with Deluxe Edition customization options (or you can create your Skitarii and then change the customization options at the Chirurgeon).

  • Fixed!

• Sometimes hogtied (respawned) players will be moved to a later respawn point despite the Strike Team not having moved past their area.

• No loadout is equipped after Personality Scourging as DLC classes

  • Happens on Hive Scum, Arbites, and Skitarii.

    • Hive Scum specific issue:

      • When personality scourging as Hive Scum, the headgear is changed to the chosen gang’s starter headgear (instead of the headgear equipped by the player).

    • Skitarii specific issue:

      • When personality scourging as Skitarii, all loadouts are unequipped AND all loadouts get a yellow exclamation mark, pointing to some error with the backpack slot.

      • Changing the equipped backpack resolves the issue.
