Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is back in the spotlight with Hotfix #58 (1.6.5), rolling out across all platforms. If you’ve been feeling some disconnects during those high-stakes missions, this update aims to tackle that head-on. Grab your gear, and let’s break down what’s new!
The devs are taking player feedback seriously, especially regarding those pesky stalls and disconnects that seem to pop up when the action gets intense. The team is still investigating these issues but has included some initial fixes in this hotfix. So relief might be in sight if you’ve found yourself unexpectedly ejected from a game mid-mission.
Patch Notes
- Re: Stalls and disconnects on console.
- We are continuing to investigate the increased rate of stalls causing disconnects on console. We’ve seen this happens more frequently in high intensity missions such as higher levels of Havoc and Auric Maelstrom missions. We have some initial ideas on what might help with these disconnects and we have included those fixes in this patch.
- We have additional fixes in the works for the next update as well. As the hotfix rolls out, we’ll continue to monitor player comments to see if there have been improvements, as well as checking data on our end.
