[dreamy tusk]

if that makes sense

[rigid wasp]

im mostly confused wehre too go at lvl 30

[dreamy tusk]

oh

tried auric?

and maybe mods like 'true level'

some different biulds too maybe

what difficulty are you playing at now

[rigid wasp]

so i mostly do
standard red dificutly

sorry therse so many names it confuses me a bit

[graceful raptor]

just play whatever you like until you feel like you want some challenge

simple as

[dreamy tusk]

try auric if you find standard red (damnation) too easy

[rigid wasp]

is there like a simple pic showing the order of content in a row based on how hard ?

[dreamy tusk]

red = hardest. but you can swap from 'stanard' to 'auric'

which is harder

[rigid wasp]

and last one wahts the lvl 40 i hear people talk about?

[dreamy tusk]

no idea. if you download a mod called 'true level' you can see your level after 30

maybe this is what they mean? https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/156

[rigid wasp]

no its aprently hard content

deep 40 somhting

[dreamy tusk]

euhh no idea

maybe the new game mode havoc? havent tried it yet it is broken atm

[graceful raptor]

after havoc update people with 30 lvl now have their highest havoc clearance level instead of reputation lvl

with true level mod you should see both (i think)

[dreamy tusk]

ah yeah makes sense

random question is the best way to min max stats really just to craft / buy grey weapon and prey to the rng gods you get a shit stat capped at 60?

[graceful raptor]

yes

its much less gamble than in was before

[dreamy tusk]

got it. thx 🙂

makes sense

rng is lucky on me then

[mellow zinc]

Mission difficulty scales with players number if I set a game to private and start it with only two members?

[late valley]

No

[dry dome]

Man ig I suck at this game, I am getting walloped on malice difficulty 😞

[quartz flint]

Tbh it's partly down to gear

Eventually you'll learn how to avoid certain situations and some perks make runs much easier

[twilit grove]

Learn the tried and true method of dodge, shove, block

Or block, shove, dodge

It helps massively

[dry dome]

How in the world am I supposed to get the buying time achievement man, my grenades don’t go that far

[raw smelt]

They do, go into psychawhatever and try the range

You can measure distance by placing the "go there" tag under the sniper's feet

[smoky ember]

you can just ping them

the skull shows distance

[marble shore]

Sometimes I feel like chip damage doesn't happen when I have toughness and I'm hit by the horde and other times it does. What determines if damage goes through toughness c

[stoic locust]

Melee damage through toughness is:
Total Damage X %toughness remaining

So if you have 130 out of 142 toughness and take 30 damage then you take about 3 points direct to hp

[forest agate]

Is it really true that if you spam crouch as an ogryn there’s a chance for him to say a rare line of dialogue about twerking

[modest halo]

Can anyone help with auric storm survivor? I got to 4 then died 😦

Hunting grounds sucks😭

[pliant magnet]

does everybody get the plasteel from idols?

[modest halo]

Yes

[pliant magnet]

ty

[quartz flint]

Sometimes you need to change class or skip one

Some maelstrom are awful

[modest halo]

(Srry for late response) yeah I’ve bin trying to wait on vent purge or something easier, any recommended modifiers?

[bitter depot]

whats with the game not searching when i click play

[quartz flint]

I'd say the only 2 tough modifiers are sniper gauntlet with ventilation purge and poxbomber waves.

The rest are easy to manage.

Specialists becoming minibosses sounds tough but they go down very quickly, in seconds under some conditions.

Tox gas/tox bombers are easily mitigated by high toughness or any actions that replenishes/overheals toughness

Dogs are actually quite easy, you either find a nice chokepoint or you have a zealot toss a fire grenade at your feet and you fight in the fire. The hounds that spawn are incredibly weak and die quickly to the fire.

Overall, what gets you is a conjunction of bad modifiers. Like tox gas + bomber waves + mutant waves

Basically what gets you the most is either a bunch of stuff that changes your positioning/incapacitates team mates, or strong nukes

[obtuse sentinel]

What’s the difference between the nasa, emea, and apac chats in this server? Is it just ping or more?

[modest halo]

Anyway I can find a good group?

Don’t even have friends for this game makes it worse with randoms

[lone adder]

[smoky ember]

if you mean in the #vox-lfg-lexicanum , that’s just different servers that people play on

[torn moss]

So in Havoc missions, do you lose one of the markers towards demotion if you quit the mission?

[mellow zinc]

Hello folks. I decided to tackle the karnak twins finally. There's a penance regarding a puzzle?

[jaunty olive]

There is a "secret" hardmode that you unlock by hitting specific bells hidden on the map in the right order a specific amount of times. After doing all that you unlock the hardmode and can teleport to the twins either on normal or on hardmode everytime you host this mission. The teleporter is also available if a teammate has it already unlocked.

[sturdy ferry]

been having issues with a black box showing up on my screen sometimes when I'm playing the game. it doesn't cover the whole screen, just a very specific and small part of it.

and even if I alt tab or exit the game it'll persist until I hard boot. only ever happens with this game. any ideas?

there's the black box on the bottom of the screen for reference. am at my desktop and it's still showing up.

GPU is 7900 XTX
CPU is 12700K
64 gigs of DDR5 and the game is on an NVME because HDD is trash and will never use it again.

[quartz flint]

Weird, it's almost like an overlay

Do you have any overlays enabled? Like from your graphics card, fan control, etc?

Does changing the screen type (eg, borderless or fullscreen) in game/launcher settings do anything?

Lastly, are you on a single monitor here?

[vocal nacelle]

Yes

[mellow zinc]

Thanks mate.

[silver epoch]

hi im trying to complete "find their weakness" penance but i dont understand how to do it and what weapon should i use ?

on zealot*

[void forge]

can you describe what the penance is? I dont know of any called find their weakness

oh wait I found it

use the stun grenade and kill enemies that are stunned with crits

pretty simple

I imagine other sources of stun would also work, like shock maul but I got this penance long ago so im not sure

[silver epoch]

Thanks i used tactical axe and it works

[polar portal]

Does Chasm Logistratum still has that small bridge people used to get Cliffhanger?
Asking for that Cliffhanger penance. Is there a better place maybe?

[graceful raptor]

little cross bridges in the end of the torrent mission are ok i think

[sinful summit]

Yes and there's also the start of gloriana too now

[polar portal]

Nice! Thanks for the info. Gonna start hunting for those.
Trying to get some of these penances in normal gameplay takes away far too much from the experience.

[polar portal]

I think I've seen the ones you're talking about. They did seem perfect, but most groups stand at the center and wipe enemies too fast for them to clump up.

That's was where I got my 4/7, which seemed like a far bigger push

[graceful raptor]

im talking about the episode when you're waiting for 3 cogitators, you can walk down and try to push enemies there

[near raven]

Any tips for Havoc? Me and my team cannot beat Havoc 24 no matter what, and we've lost 6 attempts so far. The biggest problem seems to be when the game suddenly decides to spawn 6+ Pus-soaked Ragers who then down someone instantly. How do you deal with that?

[graceful raptor]

make use of things that are underused in low difficulties

cover, staggering, etc

staying together is also underused

[obsidian ore]

Hi! Im looking for people to start auric missions.

i have 200h played and im from spain

4 characters max lvl ready to burn herectics!

[near raven]

I play the Psyker so I smite the Rager group, my perils go up to 99% so I can't Smite anymore, I can't quell because they'll hit me, so I have to pull out my melee and start dodgeblocking, I eventually run out of dodges and die

[graceful raptor]

group enemy priority issue

and maybe even positioning issue

[near raven]

Can you elaborate?

[graceful raptor]

when a group of ragers start approaching any of you, everyone need to do something with it, act fast y know

dealing with them solo is too hard

and about positioning - as a psyker you need to stay away from spawn points, where ragers could run right into you

[dry dome]

Greetings, I have not been on here in a couple days. I have followed the advice I was given and was able to get the buying time achievement at last but now I am having trouble with 3 others rn. Emperor protects, preternatural dodge, and serial killer. Any advice for these?

[proven horizon]

Despite completing a handful of Havocs this week already, the game's still presenting me with the info that I haven't. It's apparent that this is a bug but will it stop me from getting a reward next week?

[coral violet]

pretty sure they fixed original y2k bug with another version that shits on this week if you didnt complete it before 2025

FS hiring literal dregs no one else wants i guess

[eternal jolt]

yeah i finished 3 40's but im stuck at 0

but i also finished a couple on monday and i got another chest yesterday i think

[lime idol]

Shield ogryn in special block stance to tank boss for a while
Keep dodging stuff
Brain burst 20 enemies in a row with psyker

[dry dome]

Much appreciated!

[proven horizon]

That sucks. Hopefully it's fixed before this week ends.

Otherwise that unfairly puts folks a week behind.

[lime idol]

dodge while holding block can help with prenatural dodge penance

[marble parrot]

Hey guys. Quick question and wondering if anyone has had the same experience as I. When in a Discord call and playing Darktide, I can't hear anything from Darktide's end. No specialists no booms or meaty cleaves. The only thing that comes in all distorted are the voices of characters and such.Anyone have any idea on how to fix this?

[smoky ember]

check your audio output device on darktide

[pure iris]

Ive had the same occur today did a 21 and got the peneces completed but according to the terminal ive not done an mission and highest assignment rank is 0 :/

[lament sinew]

How to get 500 weapon

İ have reached 20 mastery

But brunt will give me 320s

And mission rewards are no more than 450

[late valley]

Go to hadron select empower

[lament sinew]

goddamit may the emperor bless you

How did i not see that before

[ashen lintel]

Blessing do I put on the boltgun for a zealot

[graceful raptor]

yeah, the bolter will be stronger with blessings

[kind flame]

depends what do you want to use it for?

for elites or bosses

[ashen lintel]

Both

The thing as I mostly use my relic blade

But sometimes I don’t want to get close

[kind flame]

I would recommend these two notes for more damage, against bosses especially

[kind flame]

this one should be able to do both

[smoky ember]

shattering impact puncture, unyielding carapace

zealot bolter is mainly used for mag dumping for ogryns and bosses

[mellow zinc]

So, flamer.

What's the best way to use it? To handle hordes?

[smoky ember]

killing anything that’s not carapace

[mellow zinc]

Uh this is nice. Thanks.

[smoky ember]

yah ofc

[mellow zinc]

I'll use it with a dueling sword, so I'll put inspiring barrage with it since it has good penetration.

[smoky ember]

it’s mostly an oh shit button, dense elite packs, bulwark packs (it still inflicts burn onto the bulwark through the shield, just doesn’t go through the shield), or if you have bad boss damage

[smoky ember]

also the power/strength increases from OP and BA apply to the burn stacks from the flamer

which are your main source of damage

it’s why damage is the dump stat

[mellow zinc]

ah

I had it on mobility.

[smoky ember]

you want burn to be above 76%

that’s what’s the most important thing is

[smoky ember]

that’s fine too

not a big deal

[mellow zinc]

Everything else is 80 tho-

So we good.

[smoky ember]

but i prefer damage dump

because being able to dodge a bit further while flaming is nice

[gilded pendant]

i just completed a havoc 35, i didn't host it, is tthat why it still says 0?

[sturdy ferry]

sorry I saw this late.

triple monitor setup. i have the Steam overlay only. i normally play borderless but I'll try fullscreen.

[quartz flint]

I'd be really interested to know what happens if you pull the display cables out of your two other monitors, or force a single monitor

I'm willing to be it's a display issue

[sturdy ferry]

i figured it was an issue with Fluid Motion Frames 2 at first

so I disabled that.

gonna try running a game or so and seeing if it's still an issue.

FMF 2 is still pretty wonky at times and artifacting is still common with a lot of games so we'll see

[violet flicker]

since the new year there's been a bug where a completed mission won't update the rank on the mission table. not sure if it's affecting everyone but it's definitely not just you

[blazing relic]

anyone heard of someone completing numerous malestroms and still not being able to start a havoc mission? its happening to a buddy

[signal gate]

Are they in a party when they start it?

[smoky ember]

have they talked to dukane?

[blazing relic]

tried in a party and alone. says its just shows this at the terminal

[quaint cargo]

The maelstrom is the mission on the mission terminal that is in the middle of the screen

[blazing relic]

yeah we know, it even shows beating 3 of them in his penances

..hmm after beating a forth one now and it unlocked for him. its having that glitch too at the end of the game where we get booted without seeing the stats. so for some reason it wasnt unlocking havoc

[vocal nacelle]

Need to talk to dukane first then complete maelstorm , talk to dukane again

If you complete 3 without talking to dukane first it doesn't count

[blazing relic]

that wasnt it

[vocal nacelle]

Thats weird

[quaint cargo]

What level are you

[woven spruce]

is it possible to unlock the teleport bells on the orthus offensive without completing hard mode?

[coral violet]

it wont unlock the bells unless you finish hard mode once

you can do it on uprising though which is easily soloable even with hard mode

[woven spruce]

Is this different from like the actual hard mode?

[coral violet]

it is not but bosses deal like 5 damage lol

it doesnt matter for the bells unlock what difficulty hard mode you finish

[woven spruce]

I see

Damn this is not looking good for me lmao

I’ve been trying to do one of the zealot penances for the 1 wound in under 20 mins and I found a guide on YouTube saying the orthus offensive was an easy way

[coral violet]

i can drag you through hard mode teleport on uprising if you want

should unlock the bells for you

[woven spruce]

Oh damn sure

I’m not all that good at the game though

Which strike party?

[kind flame]

I can help ye too, doing it anyway with a mate

if you still need help that is

[rigid wasp]

Hey is this where I admit I'm ass at this game?

I need major help with the Flesh Wound penance

[near raven]

Soo, your havoc rank next week is the highest Havoc you have completed the previous week, right?

So if I complete Havoc 23 while NOT the host, and then play my own Havoc assignment (say, 21) and lose enough to get deranked to 20, will I still be rank 23 next week?

[kind flame]

I can help ye

[rigid wasp]

@kind flame legend

you on rn?

[boreal locust]

anyone can help out with hardmode special ass

[rigid wasp]

I'm down

@boreal locust how many you looking for?

[boreal locust]

karnak twins i just wanna finish the hardmode, can play crowdcontrol smite psyker etc

need a full squad

[rigid wasp]

Ok sweet

send the inv whenever

[boreal locust]

gotta find 2 more

[forest agate]

How do I get the beast of nurgle to follow me back to my base? Also how big should I make his pen?

[rigid wasp]

I didn't know it was breeding season?

[kind flame]

Im on strike team 40k

[rigid wasp]

? no clue

[boreal locust]

still searching for two orthus offensive hardmode

[kind flame]

the voice channel

[rigid wasp]

oooooh duh

one sec

[solid jolt]

Need help at auric

[polar portal]

How does continuous fire trait work on single shot weapon like kickback?

[kind flame]

yes if ye keep firing

[polar portal]

There's a fairly long reload between each shot though

[eternal veldt]

My friend is a new player first char on lvl 30 and has havoc mission lvl 16 and i had to start from 1

[silk dove]

I just finished someone else's 39, do I need to wait for the weekly reset for this to update or did my completion bug out?

[quartz flint]

I think it's visual tbh

Earlier last week havoc was completely unplayable. They likely did a fix that caused that

[silk dove]

Ah ok, I was like damn all of that suffering lol

[quartz flint]

Yeah my evidence for this is:

1. it tells me I've increased in rank after a game
2. rank is displayed above my head in the hub, which updates after a game I've pushed rank

I guess we'll see on Monday.

[silk dove]

Ah you're right, guess I'll just have to wait till tomorrow

[woven spruce]

Oh shit yeah bro that would be nice

We didn’t get it

[woven spruce]

That’s what I’m trying to do too lmao

[kind flame]

sure I can help ye later if you are still on

[woven spruce]

someone's helping me rn but im down to play later if we fail

[kind flame]

sure thing Sah

[woven spruce]

oh yeah we cleared it already lol

thanks for offering to help though

[kind flame]

excellent

[silver epoch]

so i've got the last two penance left for the zealot "Behind enemy line" when you need to kill the ranged ones whit a backstab and the other one "unseen assassin" Kill 150 specialists or elites by backstabbing them while using shroudfield. What's the best weapons to use to finish this fast ? (its kinda annoying ) (sorry for my english)

[kind flame]

knife or dueling sword would be easiest

[smoky ember]

mostly ranged maelstroms are also very good

[lime idol]

Backstab is 120 degrees behind

[autumn storm]

Hi I’m trying to do the long bomb penance on the veteran any tips? Cant seem to pull it off

[lime idol]

Ranged flanking damage is 180 degrees behind

[lime idol]

You want grenade to air burst basically

[autumn storm]

Im using the flak grenades tried on big groups from far nothing :/

[lime idol]

Frag grenade, throw at enemies very far away

[autumn storm]

One in the middle part of the tree?

[lime idol]

You need to use the left grenade (frag)

[autumn storm]

Thats what I’m using tried it on few mobs nothing

[lime idol]

Again, air burst

Watch the video

[autumn storm]

Looks amazing on pc 😀

Gotcha will try it

[eternal veldt]

Hey little question whats the max wound stat on curios? 2 or 3?

[zealous dome]

1

[eternal veldt]

Oh ok

[signal gate]

Know about what lol

That sounds like a ridic rumor as the fatshark abandons DT for new UE5 title, when it’s just concept artists being transferred over

[quartz flint]

If it helps, the trajectory guide kinda starts to lose its colour at maximum range, that's pretty much where the airburst happens

It's something like 3s of airtime

[vocal nacelle]

Try on enclavum baross last part

[jaunty junco]

Hiya all, new here.

I'm trying to understand how the weapon progression works.

So if I'm understanding it right, e.g. Relic Blade (because I'm working on it right now)

1.) Re-rolling for Power doesn't matter because you can Empower it as Mastery Level rises?
2.) MK or Mark, refers to different move sets of the same weapon
3.) Blessings we upgrade DON'T APPLY UNTIL we have it on the weapon itself (max 2)
4.) When looking into weapons, we need to check what is maxes out on. People usually look for triple or quad 80 then a dump stat which is kept at 60 or varying.

Did I get things right? 🤔

[little coyote]

What do you mean by re-rolling for power? Other than that, correct

[jaunty junco]

like buying from the armoury for higher power? doesn't matter right?

[little coyote]

ah yeah, the overall power level can be maxed out for any weapon, the starting and final stat block values are all that matters

or rather even the starting values are whatever once you get it levelled up

[jaunty junco]

alright good to know

I was afraid I needed to throw out my 200 power level weapon cuz it has great rolls.

like in VT2

[rain perch]

I'd still recommend to buy from the armoury since empowering weapon from like 150 to 400 will be quite expensive, and gold is much easier to come around, so snatching a rare 340 weapon will be more efficient

[jaunty junco]

gotcha, II'll keep that in mind

[iron pebble]

just did havoc 40 again, but the thing says i haven't completed anything yet. Is this working as intended since I got 40 last week already?

[rigid wasp]

hello, does deleting this file clear my game data?

because my game has been oddly buggy for some reasons, so I kinda want to reinstall all files and stuff

[earnest crag]

the UI is bugged for everyone, just visual.

[earnest crag]

just uninstall from steam or gamepass?

[rigid wasp]

yeah, but I kinda want to clear the game files too because I had mods on them

I think it could be the reason my game has been buggy

the character just lags and enemies flying around

[earnest crag]

that sounds like networking issue

but i wouldn t only delete selective files, that could fuck up file paths on reinstall

either delete everything and then reinstall or just don t

[rigid wasp]

I see, thank you

[humble torrent]

Is there a guide to dump stats by the weapon? I’ve been just redditing each weapon individually

[smoky ember]

for most weapons it’s either mobility or defenses

psyker melee weapons it’s warp resistance

staves are usually warp res too

the most unique is flamer being a damage dump, as damage has next to no impact on the actual damage you deal

there isn’t really a guide

well

for each class except zealot

there is

sorry i got sidetracked lmfao

[smoky ember]

if you look in the pins of the class chats, they have guides that list the dump stats

zealot chat doesn’t have one

but you can just ask in chat

[humble torrent]

Perfect man, that’s exactly what I needed! Thank ya

[eternal depot]

What does rending do?

[graceful raptor]

more damage against all armor types, but only for you

brittleness is for everyone

[maiden fiber]

I joined other people for havoc missions and true level says im havoc level 20 but on dukhane's menu it still says im 18, so which one is the real level?

[lime idol]

Your highest clearance (highest completed rank ever) is 20

18 is your assigned mission which is based on your highest completed mission last week

In-game clearance is bugged currently and shows 0 regardless of the missions you complete

[maiden fiber]

So the next reward will be for rank 20?

[lime idol]

Supposedly
If the game isn’t bugged out and doesn’t track

[maiden fiber]

Here's to hopping then

[worthy rock]

so i completed a lvl 40 havoc this week got the title/insignia and it said the highest i went to was 9 and only got the havoc 9 rewards(10k docs. 1.5k plast./diam.) but it still put me up too havoc 40. any ideas on why the game is trolling me, any input would be helpfull

[late valley]

game is bugged

that's all we can say really

[broken raft]

You got rewards, lucky bastard

[rigid wasp]

i helped someone complete a tier 15 havoc but when i checked the terminal it said i didn’t, why?

[fallen sundial]

You need to host to progress Havoc

[stoic locust]

If you do havoc in other peoples lobby your rank only updates to their mission at end of week

[rigid wasp]

noted

[limber anvil]

wierd completed havoc 39 yesterday and still my rank was 0, today i logged and got no rewards

[jaunty olive]

yeah i did one 34 last week just to see myself being demoted to 21 again this week.

[last crypt]

it'll update this week I think

[limber anvil]

Hopefully

[last crypt]

it resets every week if you played someone else's havoc assignment

instantly if it was yours

[wary horizon]

okay so in auric maelstrom if you get downed then leave the mission, will it count as dying? Trying to get auric title.

[late valley]

Yes.

[wary horizon]

rly? damn

[deep sleet]

Is the +10% reload speed weapon perk or any other weapon perk ever worth sacrificing one of the +25% dmg against certain enemy type? I really don't like them and I'd rather pick a perk that's in effect all the time

[smoky ember]

not really

bolter maybe

but that’s it

and then you’d be sacrificing breakpoints

to either ogryns or elites

which isn’t really worth it

[deep sleet]

What about shotguns?

[void forge]

I would never give up a +25 damage perk for reload speed

Maybe if it was buffed to like 30% speed but even then it's iffy

[zealous dome]

Generally no
But

Surety of Arms Psyker with 10% reload perk

You can basically spam special shots

Faster than the average zealot/vet

[last crypt]

yeah, they fixed it with havoc

funny watching someone leave a au/mael knowing their counter reset

[untold musk]

I wanna do havoc 40

[placid quiver]

For the ortus offensive, if you rang the bells. Do you have to kill the twins for the shortcut to work?

[little coyote]

yea

[woeful raven]

Do it! It's fun but also the worst

Also have they fixed the mission counting as completed when finish a Havoc?

Know it's been broken since the weekend

[untold musk]

Wdym?

[last crypt]

gawd same

im down if ur down sometime :3

[signal gate]

Not really

Breakpoints and time to kill is huge

The only swappable i’ve seen is 10% elites, and then crit chance on blazing voidblast

Most important targets in this game are flak and maniac, then of course carapace and unyielding for bigger/armored things, then unarmored for specific breakpoints in ranged weapons mostly

[untold musk]

Bet I’m down I get off work at 5😎

[last crypt]

what timezone u at

[untold musk]

CST cuz

[last crypt]

guh im CET

[untold musk]

Geez😬

[lime idol]

Not worth on basically all weapons

[twilit sundial]

zealot braced auto you want to have mobility or stability as the drop stat? or just preference?

[smoky ember]

mobility

stability helps with the hip fire

so u want that high

[twilit sundial]

perfect thanks

[lime idol]

Depends on variant
For Mk II & Mk IV, dump collateral (max both mobility & stability)
For Mk VIII, dump mobility

Collateral does almost nothing notable for braced autoguns in terms of stagger

[lime idol]

I can try help

Can’t find with name

You gotta send your friend code

Vc anywhere?

[twilit sundial]

seeing damage as dropstat on combat blade a lot.. am i seeing wrong or is there an aspect w the other stats im missing?

[lime idol]

It’s not the most impactful stat for damage (first target is far more important), but mobility is usually the better dump

[twilit sundial]

ah okay, appreciate the help

[deep sleet]

How does the efficiency blessing work for infantry lasguns exactly?

Do you have reduced ammo usage for the whole magazine?

[stoic locust]

For the shot

The blessing is actually terrible

Or it might be the duration hold on

Nope, 1 ammo saved per proc

Entirely worthless

[deep sleet]

You could theoritcally space your shots every 3.5 secs

would be much better if you had access to surgical though

unfortunately it doesnt have it

[stoic locust]

It’s still not worth it

You would save more running Headhunter and then taking shock trooper in your tree

And 1 ammo every 4 seconds is effectively negligible for your 600-1000 shot pools

[coral violet]

headhunter would still give you a lot more power for the slot on infantry lasguns

very little reason to use those on anyone but vet and hes got shock trooper anyway

[twilit sundial]

how does havoc 1 compare to other difficulties?

[stoic locust]

It’s malice baseline with some modifiers

[vocal nacelle]

General Info

• Ranks 1 to 10 are Malice difficulty

• Ranks 11 to 20 are Heresy difficulty

• Ranks 21 to 30 are damnation difficulty

• Ranks 16 to 29 have an "increased difficulty" mutator

• Ranks 30+ have the "highest difficulty" mutator
  Increased difficulty mutator is just Emperors Fading Light (1)
  Highest difficulty mutator is just Emperors Fading Light (2)

[twilit sundial]

perfect thanks for the info

another dumb question, how does the "assist in completing their havoc" thing work? Finished first havoc with 1 buddy, i got a assist point and he didnt. his havoc assignment level also went up and mine did not

[vocal nacelle]

Host cant get havoc assist

Your rank will catch up to his rank next week

[twilit sundial]

Ah gotcha okay, thanks again

[jaunty junco]

hiya is there a list or a pinned guide for recommended blessings/perks for each weapon?

currently looking for a Bolt Pistol one

[stoic locust]

It depends on build and class

[jaunty junco]

zealot, just to whip out for specials

not sure what build ill finalize with, but I'm mostly on the left tree while leveling to 30

[deep sleet]

idk why but my weapon's target stats sometimes change, I was upgrading a perfect combat shotgun 80/80/80/60/80 but when I was upgrading I realized it changed to 70s

kinda pissed about it

[graceful raptor]

its impossible

[vocal nacelle]

it can happen but only changed by 1 %

never saw the weapon stat reduced by 10%

[silver tusk]

does anyone know who to contact about the constant freezing/crashing after the last big update?

i froze 5 times last night in the same match

[onyx zinc]

anybody else have performance issues?

i have a very good pc but no frames even after settings experiments

[graceful raptor]

maybe bottle-neck cp

maybe other programms are working

[onyx zinc]

neither

[graceful raptor]

maybe resolution is too big

maybe dlss is not working

[onyx zinc]

cpu and gpu hover at 80%, frames fluctuate between 60 to 240 extremely

tried lowering res

im not nvidia

[graceful raptor]

60 and 240? bruh

[onyx zinc]

yea massive difference, too many drops

[graceful raptor]

play on 60 flat then

[onyx zinc]

id rather play a different game

[graceful raptor]

less than 144 people consider a problem

what a world we live in

[onyx zinc]

id settle for 120

[graceful raptor]

you'd rather buy more gpus and cps, to continue crying about not being able to play big games in 360 fps with 144p upscaled to 4k

[smoky ember]

lmfao

you are not helpful

[smoky ember]

make sure ray tracing isn’t on

and try turning on frame gen

[graceful raptor]

how can i be helpful for a guy with high-end pc

[smoky ember]

i’d help more but i’m at work rn, when i get home ill look at the settings

i can’t remember them all right now

[broken raft]

Tbf he just said a very good pc which can range from a 2060-5090

Actually no nvidia

dont know the numbering scheme for amd

[graceful raptor]

the only thing i can help with, is that amd gpus suck

for DT at least

[onyx zinc]

did i cry? did i go and buy a 5090? i came because im not familiar with the nuances of the games performance. i welcome you to reply in aid of that but otherwise i have to recommend you be butthurt on reddit instead where you will not disrupt the flow of a channel

[onyx zinc]

yeah i tried that as well but you can reeeally tell theyre pulling those frames from thin air lol

[graceful raptor]

mini essays, here we go...

[onyx zinc]

yeah, yeah

[graceful raptor]

and you didnt say you are unfamiliar with the games performance

[onyx zinc]

i think such a question entails that information

[graceful raptor]

no, but whatever

[onyx zinc]

i have the amd equivelant of either a 4070 super or ti, i forgot which one

[graceful raptor]

dt is poorly optimised, but devs try their best (at least i think so)

[vocal nacelle]

During battle or sightseeing?

[onyx zinc]

its kinda both? i think out of battle im closer to 70%

[graceful raptor]

you see sometimes 50> characters on your screen, with all the flashy vfx-es

[vocal nacelle]

Also amd?

[onyx zinc]

yeah

[broken raft]

Oh yeah have you lowered your ragdoll limit?

[onyx zinc]

i have

[graceful raptor]

so having not less than 60 fps at these moments is very generous

[vocal nacelle]

yeaaaa amd and darktide not go well together

[broken raft]

And assuming you have an amd cpu have you lowered your worker threads?

[onyx zinc]

i guessed as much, but i feel theres something that can be done

yes i went down to 6

[smoky ember]

wrong

and is great

i will forever love amd

[onyx zinc]

nvidia is the apple of the gpu market

[vocal nacelle]

Someone might have solution about amd problem somewhere

[onyx zinc]

(which is bad)

yeah hopefully

ill have to research later

[smoky ember]

i’ve got a 7800xt i’m pretty sure

i don’t remember

but when i get home ill tell u my settings

because i usually hover comfortably around 80-90

with the occasional frame drop

[graceful raptor]

well you know what, if fatshark implement tripple frame generation from 50xx series, go buy the gpu and tell the results

[onyx zinc]

what?

[graceful raptor]

i guess you're rich

and im wondering how it would work

[onyx zinc]

i saved for 4 years at a labour intensive job for my pc

[graceful raptor]

bruh

[vocal nacelle]

#gameplay-help message try this

[graceful raptor]

ok then

[onyx zinc]

seriously, seriously go and suck my balls

[onyx zinc]

i will thank you

[graceful raptor]

right now?

i guessed so cause you want to play in 360 fps

which sound fucking ridiculous

[broken raft]

My man why are you getting so mad that he wants to play above 60 fps

[onyx zinc]

i never said 360fps, i actually just said 120 would be great

[graceful raptor]

in 240 i mean

still too high

[smoky ember]

oh my god can you stop arguing over fucking nothing

[graceful raptor]

i have a mood for it

cause im mad at today's gaming

[smoky ember]

then shut up or make a reddit post bro

nobody cares

[onyx zinc]

no adrenalin is interesting, ill consider that. type of thing that would be good if i only played darktide

[smoky ember]

lmfao

[graceful raptor]

big games require expensive scrap chunks, but still its impossible to play in native framerate and resolution

[graceful raptor]

hell nah im not going there

[onyx zinc]

you belong there

[smoky ember]

yeah this isn’t news

modern games have bad optimization due to frame gen

unreal engine 5 is awful

[graceful raptor]

alright, jokes aside

amd is a problem for DT

[smoky ember]

not in my experience

it can be, not denying that

but it’s not as bad as everyone has been saying

[graceful raptor]

well ive seen a lot of complaints from amd users

[vocal nacelle]

#general-chat message another one

[onyx zinc]

anyway worst case scenario i continue to hover around 100, but i wanted to see if there was some common issue

[graceful raptor]

60+ is already amazing, my guy

[onyx zinc]

thanks ill consider that too

tough to be going through bios stuff for one game

[tardy smelt]

Last week, i completed havoc lvl 39 and 40, and this week i didn't get the crate
currently i am 4/20 of the penance called quartermaster's favourite (5).
what do i do to get the weekly havoc crate?

[wheat night]

Wait for a fix

[tardy smelt]

So, i won't get last week's crate?
not even if i message some developer or something to give me one?

i checked on the internet, multiple people have this problem, so i guess i am fucked

Hey anyone willing to help me do malleus monstronum? Apologies if this isn’t the correct chat for this kind of thing, new here, if there’s a better place please direct me there

[smoky ember]

asking here is fine, though you can ask in #vox-lfg-lexicanum as well

[native hazel]

Heard thanks for the tip

[pure spoke]

Any idea how to decrease the bluriness of the game?
I already turned off DOF and motion blue but the game still feels blurry

[late valley]

is FSR on?

[coral mural]

dm me

game runs butter smooth on 3440x1440 140 - 165fps on 165hz i get maybe 180+ if i dont cap the fps mostly high/extreme settings rtx/high dlls/quality framegen on - there are some things to do cuz by default game is choppy/laggy even on high fps

[smoky ember]

turn sharpness up

[pure spoke]

No, i have it disabled

[prime cloud]

why didnt i get downed?

[late valley]

were you in havoc?

[prime cloud]

yeah, do you only get one down?

[broken raft]

Melee attacks do corruption damage

[worthy comet]

Someone said the corruption damage you take from mauler and crushers is enough to one shot you

[prime cloud]

that is such bullshit LMAO

good to know

[worthy comet]

Yeah it surprised me too

[prime cloud]

havoc is just annoying with all the stuff like this

even a crusher shouldnt be able to one shot from full health

[hollow anchor]

One question about Havoc levels, can you only do one mission per week and level up only one level?

[late valley]

No
No

You can do as many as you want.

If you do your own havoc you'll level up instantly

If you do someone elses you'll go to their level at the end of the week

[hollow anchor]

Oh I see

Thanks!

[violet narwhal]

Hi all. Is there any built in proper accessibility for Deaf/Hard of Hearing players? I know there’s a Whisper mod but it doesn’t seem to do things like alert to the dodge sound or indicate there’s a horde coming on music change. I am relying on friends on some of that information but I am still struggling with how sound oriented some things are - especially directional sounds.

Also the Grimoires are impossible to find without sound for me at least

[mild blade]

theres a mod to alert for grims i know that

i dont believe it gives directional info unfortunately

[sacred oyster]

Do ratings matter? Like on curios?

[graceful raptor]

no

[sacred oyster]

Tight. Ty!

[simple wind]

I thought the curio power limit was 420

I have a 430 curio

[stoic locust]

They do so in normal damn what

[smoky ember]

theres mods for all of that

but if you arent on pc then ur kind of SoL unfortunately

[violet narwhal]

I’ve looked at Nexus mods on PC and the Spider Sense mod is the closest to I what I want but doesn’t have everything. Can you suggest some I might have missed?

[sinful summit]

havoc was meant to be the ball crushing factory mode

mistakes are punished severely by design

[smoky ember]

spidersense is the main one

but theres also collectible finder

for books and skulls and idols

[lime idol]

Spider sense mod (available on nexus)
As cheesy as it is, it’s actually great if you’re in need of hearing accessibility as it’ll give u a directional arrow that tells u where specialists are coming from

[prime cloud]

There's a difference between ballcrushing and bullshit, getting downed is already hard to recover from.
A dead player is a death sentence.
There are a lot of problems with havoc and something like this really isn't necessary (imo) but of course skill issue yeah

[vocal nacelle]

You can take corruption res to Migitate the damage

or stack 200 golden toughness

[signal gate]

there is the spidey sense mod but in base, there isn't really

there is like, faint "shots from this side" indicators but that's it

[signal gate]

going down is basically a death sentence

it's to make the melee enemies as deadly as the ranged enemies and it works

frankly, it's an overhead, I heard the overhead as soon as the clip started, it's just uhh, a gamemode that forces you to git gud

[prime cloud]

gud people make mistakes

games that require perfection are fine but darktide isn't perfect, it's a game plagued with bugs and inconsistencies

like, for example havoc doesn't even tell you everything that's changed

[graceful raptor]

it just works 🙂

[prime cloud]

i still love havoc and wish i could play more but the amount of times that one of my teammates gets trapped through a wall or set of stairs and we lose half a mission of progress is just disheartening

i just wish darktide had any clarity

or when we push a poxburster and it goes forward instead

[graceful raptor]

never seen him doing that

[prime cloud]

if it was a mistake that we made thats different but when the game just decides, "you lose now" it sucks

[graceful raptor]

falling forward from explosions or shots - yeah

[prime cloud]

#psyker-class message

clips are all over

thats just the first i saw

[graceful raptor]

well this one is just a connection issue i think

i get these sometimes

scary af but what can i do

[prime cloud]

lose havoc immediately thats what lmao

[topaz lake]

Not sure if this is where I should ask but anyone able to tank a Monstrosity so I can get the Malleus Monstronum Penance?

[static cairn]

Need help completing just a flesh wound penance for zealot. Anyone willing to help? It’s the last zealot penance I need.

[cold crater]

Slid down from havoc 27 to 20, im trying to get a sense for what I'm doing wrong but I can't seem to crack it.

[shrewd rivet]

I'd guess most teams in that range fail because people don't take the talents and equipment that make the mode much easier

Lacking book zealots, voc vets, etc

[sinful summit]

Most people in havoc fail not because they fail to bring the talents and gear effective to the mode, but because of a lack of proper positioning, coordination, and just outright misplays

No amount of choruses can save someone if they just don't actually back up when they need to back up

[smoky ember]

(alternatively not knowing when to push)

[cold crater]

Aye they will scream at you for not bringing it I've noticed. But they also shout at the team for every other possible reason

I just try to not be like that, but its hard to find what I'm doing wrong when the match ends in the first 5 minutes

[smoky ember]

yah pubs r annoying

[broken raft]

Your main issue is that you are hosting

Cant drop down if you never host

[signal gate]

Only time i've snapped in havoc was a dude on psyker

using a green brauto, scrier's and BR.

green brauto cause he was leveling it/getting mats, even tho havoc doesn't drop mats on clear

and he wasn't using brain rupture cause he didn't like it

and he was always the first to go down/die

[jaunty junco]

hello

[broken raft]

Levelling it works only in lower level havocs

[idle ocean]

why is there no actual reason to host

[broken raft]

Hello

[jaunty junco]

is there a huge difference between 80/80/80/80/60 mobility

and like 62 mobility / 78 heat

or like am I missing something by not min-maxing

[broken raft]

Tbh plasma has 2 dumps

Mobility or charge rate

Oh you mean relic sword

[jaunty junco]

oh uhm relic sword!

[broken raft]

Relic swords issue is you might get one less swing powered or smthn

But not much difference

[jaunty junco]

ah alright, guess I'll skip on this one

[broken raft]

The thing is empowering weapons is so much more expensive than getting a god roll one

So people go for the best possible

[jaunty junco]

I have a maxed out relic sword but with 62 mobi and 78 heat

and saw one with 60 mobi

so I was wondering if I'm gonna miss out

[signal gate]

instant rank up and you can filter who joins

[idle ocean]

do you not normally instantly ran up?

[broken raft]

Probably wont feel a different, but the perfect one sets off neuron activation

[idle ocean]

oh does it only update on the week reset

[broken raft]

Save the perfect one for when you have mats

[signal gate]

helping only updates your rank on weekly reset

[broken raft]

Instant rank up is only for hosts

[signal gate]

until then it's just "clearance level"

[jaunty junco]

gotcha, thanks!

another question, is there like a pinned guide for what are max stats for curios?

so I know what to buy if I see it on shop

[broken raft]

+3 stamina, +2 wounds, 17% toughness, and I think 21% health

[jaunty junco]

thanks!

what do people look for? or is it per class basis?

[graceful raptor]

2 wounds? wtf

it would be op

[graceful raptor]

i run toughness on everything

[jaunty junco]

I see

[graceful raptor]

i dont need health cause i dont take too much damage

wounds are useless cause i dont go down too often

dunno about stamina, but i think it would be less hard to manage it

[jaunty junco]

alright I'll start looking for Toughness ones

[smoky ember]

but it’d be really funny to see a 10 wound zealot

[jaunty junco]

is there like

a recommended perk to follow for curios?

like on all 3 slots

[signal gate]

toughness is generally considered the best on most classes builds

martyrdom zealots stack wounds

a single +3 stam can be great for psykers, or on zealots/vets with push attack heavy weapons or a vet running deadshot

+hp is better than wounds at least, vets and psykers can take an hp curio for some breakpoints vs bursters and snipers

for perks, 5% toughness always good, 2x gunner+1x sniper resistance is a good spread for durability, corruption resistance, 5% hp, stamina regen speed, and some people would recommend ability cdr perks as well

some high level players run sprint efficiency, but imo stam regen is going to be better if you are starting out/learning

[jaunty junco]

alright thanks

very helpful! I'll cap your comment

[signal gate]

sprint efficiency is more for speedrunners, premades, true solo/duos, and people who know exactly how to kite

generalized corruption resistance is also good in havoc specific modifiers

[jaunty junco]

gotcha o:

[sour pulsar]

wouldnt it be so cool if they added brass knuckles for ogryn, and an ogryn heavy punch could send a mauler flying

special attack could be a quick grab that throws human sized enemies and a strong push that knocks over ogryn sized enemies, the throw and push staggers any other enemies that make contact with the thrown enemy

[graceful raptor]

if only you knew how many times people asked for this

[shadow skiff]

Yes, matters for +3 stam. 410+ only. 400 and below are fakes that are +2 in actual games.

[shadow skiff]

Also, how much Oggy's wanna throw shouty at enemies.

[sacred oyster]

Really?

[shadow skiff]

Yeah. If you have a 400 +3 stam, you can test it. GO into Psykhanium and it will show +3, but in a real match, it's only a +2.

[sacred oyster]

Weird

Good to know

[shadow skiff]

Just telling you so you don't waste stuff into a 400 +3 stam.

[sacred oyster]

Thank you!

[twilit sundial]

is there a chart or calc somewhere that shows how muich it would cost to upgrade weapons from X quality to Y quality (empowering not consecrating)? Cant seem to find one but didnt know if i missed it

[vocal nacelle]

nope

but you need around 3K plasteel

and 1K diamantine i think

[twilit sundial]

from 380 im guessing?

[vocal nacelle]

to 500 max stat

[twilit sundial]

gotcha, thanks!

[vocal nacelle]

Damnation can give 1K plasteel if you managed to find all and destroying the totem

[verbal knot]

Shredder Autopistol dump stat please

[coral violet]

anything that isnt stopping power or damage

also better ask that in class chats

[jolly ingot]

Is there crossplay with PC on PS5 ?

[stoic locust]

Yes

[smoky ember]

mobility or collateral

[deep sleet]

Whats better to use as a weapon dump stat, mobility or defences?

[vocal nacelle]

depends on the weapon

[sacred oyster]

Is this a visual bug?

I thought dueling had cleave not defense

[coral violet]

switch to the mark that has cleave?

[sacred oyster]

Oh

Lmao

[deep sleet]

I have a sapper shovel with 80 defences and 60 mobility and idk if I should roll to get one with the opposite

seems very minor to me, both give bonuses to dodging

[smoky ember]

defenses is the better dump iirc

but i couldn’t tell you for sure

you can look in pins

of #veteran-class

the guide pinned will tell u

[lime idol]

defence is the better dump usually

[sinful summit]

the mk5 specifically has a defence stat

its really funny actually because both defences and mobility give dodge distance, so this one has flat out much better dodges

[sour pulsar]

i saw mister E put the headhunter autoguns in D tier in his last tierlist

are they really that bad? cuz i saw pmc unc running one the other day

[stoic locust]

Mr E is one of the worst resources for this game

[sour pulsar]

hm really, well hes the only one thats made sorta recent tierlists

how should the headhunters rank then

[stoic locust]

Tierlists are dumb

They have no room for nuance

[little coyote]

I don't like them but some people swear by them

headhunters that is, not tier lists

[stoic locust]

Headhunters are some solid sniping weapons with good anti shooter capabilities and almost decent boss damage

They can get to 1shot/burst for everything you need to shoot at and have some pretty good ammo

[sour pulsar]

i always thought they were decent, but you have to be good at targeting the head

[stoic locust]

That’s all guns

Besides like

Certain ogryn weapons and flamer

[vocal nacelle]

There's only 3 rank, childproof OP, usable, painful

Headhunter is usable

[sour pulsar]

i see, what about the combat shotguns

[vocal nacelle]

Usable but leaning to Painful

[sour pulsar]

lucius lasguns

[vocal nacelle]

Usable

[sour pulsar]

so whats the actually really bad stuff

cuz most stuff seems usable

[sinful summit]

they are still uh

not good at all

the time it takes to kill many things with them is just not great at all, in addition to their ammo economy

[little coyote]

I don't really think there is a single terrible/unusable weapon in the game

[sinful summit]

since youre spending lots of shots to actually kill things

i think it takes 7 shots with the single shot one to kill a dreg rager before blessings

[vocal nacelle]

bullbutcher good vs horde but get stuck when there's 1 elite

combat shotgun and tac axe on painful to use tier

[little coyote]

I recently mastered the combat shotgun and thought it was fine

[sour pulsar]

in my experience the fire shotgun has good stagger on elites so its good in a pinch

[sinful summit]

tactical axe on zealot is one of my go tos

[deep sleet]

huh?

[coral violet]

profanity filtered? try anything else

[deep sleet]

what profanity though?

gun?

doesnt make sense

[coral violet]

maybe the first part, no clue

[vocal nacelle]

ku-nig(this one maybe)-unde

[deep sleet]

that seems more likely

[vocal nacelle]

dont smite me mod

[deep sleet]

press f for all 10 kunigundes in the world

[deep sleet]

Kunegunde worked atleast

[vocal nacelle]

no swearing/looked like a "slurs" in the 40k universe

[zealous dome]

Shredder Auto Pistol

Like

2 uses

1 gunning down Maniacs at close range

2 restoring Toughness because of blessing

[broken raft]

Not sure if this is even true tbh

Still takes like 20 bullets to kill a dreg rager

[smoky ember]

it’s not a bad special killer

and it goes nice with a heavier weapon (evis, relic, thammer)

so you can sprint around with it

and the stagger is enough to throw ragers down to the floor

(though scabs u need to headshot due to carapace)

it’s definitely not good

but it can be fun

[broken raft]

I mean even with weakspot hits it takes like a quarter mag per special

And so for the slecial killing fast moving niche, the laspistol is better

[coral violet]

yeah its really good with negative maniac damage mod

[coral violet]

same speed as columnus(vraks) 5

[smoky ember]

yes every other weapon is better

i’m just pointing out some of its strengths

[coral violet]

still it has a tiny bit more maniac damage before you account for base finesse + buffs

they should've buffed both clip and ammo 50% at least like a year ago

[smoky ember]

honestly it’d be fine

if it got a significantly higher flak ADM

that’s really all it needs

[coral violet]

idk man doesnt look like an anti armor weapon to me

just make it being able to rip through all softies with no exception

[sour pulsar]

imagine how much better the combat feedback would be in this game if the death ragdolls werent so floaty

wish they had more weight to them

[random flax]

does havoc assignment start from 1 ?

[fierce sandal]

Yes

[sonic timber]

What’s the best way to tag with Xbox controller? I’m struggling to keep hordes in check and attempting to block cancel push mobs back enough to tag but it’s awkward on the d pad.

You either deal with it, or suffer dook tier dodges.

[raw smelt]

I just joined into Auric Melstorm where 3 people were dead and i had 0% chance to survive. I was at 4/5 for Auric Storm Survivor. Any way to prevent this ?

[graceful raptor]

make your own team or be more lucky

obvious, no?

[tame moss]

My friend is having issues on Psyker with normal shooters, is bubble the only way or is there something i can tell him to do or practice? it's kinda ruining our session, he likes to play staffs, but keeps complaning about normal shooters. He also complains about backstab sounds are they still not fixed?

[graceful raptor]

lmb staff attacks do well against shooters, good damage and suppression

staying behind teammates also helps

[simple wind]

Anyone know which penance gives budding inquisitor title

[stoic locust]

1000 missions

[simple wind]

Oof ok

[sinful summit]

Bugged backstab sfx are incredibly rare, and most of the time when they do bug out, they're playing when they shouldn't, not the other way around

[coral violet]

paranoid schizophrenia

[hoary vessel]

my doctor said that or something but i think he’s crazy

[sour pulsar]

ogryn heavy bolter when?

[deep sleet]

ong

Ripper gun not enough

[ebon flower]

is it common practice to have 3 instead of 2 wounds in higher havocs?

[jaunty olive]

Highest i played was 38 before Big Fish cucked me. But from my experience you are almost certainly getting one shot if you make a mistake or get surprised by a shooter gang and well i think the 20%hp or 17%toughness dont make much of a difference anymore so a 3rd wound can make up for that since your team usually has voc, chorus and a bubble.

[signal gate]

no

melee enemies corrupt and going down is a death sentence

[keen blaze]

Hey everyone,

Quick question for those experienced - does anyone else have any issues with flickering textures? Either the texture below coming through or black/shadows (what looks like the occlusion map) popping through?

Main culprits are:

• Worse when zooming in on aim
• Worse when zooming and with flashlight
• Worse on Carnival map specifically
• Medicaes sometimes flashing

Anyone else experience anything similar? Trying to decide if the GPU is on its way out or its just poor optimisation. Cheers!

[hoary vessel]

Unrelated to above, seems joining parties for me even after re-installing will just crash the game now

[broken raft]

You tried using cinebench or something?

[keen blaze]

Thanks for the response. Isn't cinebench for CPUs?

I've ran Heaven and everything renders fine. No issues with fps or crashes its super stable outside of the shader-popping I see.

[broken raft]

weird then

maybe its a refresh rate issue?

[keen blaze]

This is interesting because I never noticed the issues until I got a new monitor.

Asus PG27AQDM and suddenly I notice these odd issues on games I've played for years...

[broken raft]

check to make sure your refresh rate is 240

or whatever its max is

[keen blaze]

Everything looks good. Monitor shows 240hz, 240 in NVIDEA app and 239.972 in Windows settings.

It is a g-sync monitor however. You think that could be an issue? Last monitor was too but this is a much newer model.

[broken raft]

not sure, but what your describing sounded like when my CS was at running at 400 fps on my 60hz configured monitor

[keen blaze]

No worries! Cheers for the response anyway. Im going to record some footage with steam and post it on the forums to see if any others experience it. thanks mate!

[keen blaze]

Here is the Visual Bugs I keep getting.

Anyone anything similar?

[quartz flint]

Almost seems like a load distance and/or an issue with anti aliasing?

I'd try maybe changing your AA settings in settings to see if it solves it. The biggest is not always best

Some graphics cards handle sone AA settings poorly

I've also had bad experiences with gsync in the past. I'm not sure if this is the problem here though but it's easy to turn off and on again

I don't think it's a monitor issue

[keen blaze]

I'll check these suggestions out man thank you. I did try a separate GPU and lowered settings in the past and I'm sure it persisted.

Posted on Fatshark forums also now!

[quartz flint]

Yeah sadly it it could be a lot of things and it may be as easily solved as just using FXAA ir sonething

But it's definitely an AA/render issue caused by unloaded LODs

[keen blaze]

Aye, I have found DLSS being mentioned in some forums also.

My main concern is if it's my GPU or not. I have a 3090 and a fairly high end but slightly older system so it may be its just not optimised for my rig. will check these suggestions and see. Thanks!

How substantial is having 60 ammo on ranged weapons instead of 60 mobility? The only time I run out out ammo is when Im shooting hordes like an idiot instead of meleeing or there is the ammo drought modifier on the map

[graceful raptor]

why do you need mobility on a ranged weapon in the first place

[deep sleet]

dodging in and out of cover?

[graceful raptor]

why dodging out of cover? just wasting the dodge charge

[late valley]

you get maximum dodges at 51% mobility

[signal gate]

you have the same dodge counts from 60 vs 80

[smoky ember]

the issue is more because mobility gives you a very small benefit relative to ammo

also ammo gives you more ammo in your magazine, meaning less reloading, meaning more shooting

[twilit sundial]

does the more characters mod give you more sets of melk contracts and thus 3 more characters worth of ingots?

[late valley]

I believe so

[flint cipher]

so I've been playing a lot of darktide trying to get some Penances done, especially with Weapon Mastery ones, this has allowed me to try a lot more weapons, but there is a psyker weapon the 'Electrokinetic Force Staff' that just feels underwhelming to use and not vary effective, the only thing I really have to compare it to is the 'Smite' blitz. is there something I'm missing, or am I just using it wrong?

[smoky ember]

better answers would be found in #psyker-class , but the electro staff feels very boring too me too, it does good damage, with a fast charge rate and a very fast stagger

along with having a good innate crit chance

and the primary fire is stronger

[flint cipher]

I will need to try out using crit, thanks for the help, I also wasn't sure between this and the #psyker-class channel to use but thanks all the same I'll keep that in mind for my next question. thanks for your time.

[smoky ember]

yah ofc, any class related question can be asked in the class chats too, but sometimes you may not get an answer, just due to the conversation’s not seeing your message

you’ll usually get an answer in here, but it may take longer

[flint cipher]

Good to know. best of luck to ya out there in the front lines.

[vocal nacelle]

most psyker staff shine when you reach lvl 30 and max mastery

electro kinetic need lots of crit and certain build

[smoky ember]

yah also that, forgor to ask if ur level 30

[flint cipher]

Ya i got all classes to level 30

I've many just been replaying a lot of missions having fun, with everything unlocked slowly working on my Penances as a secondary objective on each mission.

[keen blaze]

Hey!

So I took some input and ran the game with G-SYNC off, DLSS off, AA off and this was the result.

Still a ton of issues. The servitor vid is particularly bad.

[deep sleet]

Does it really increase mag size??

[graceful raptor]

both numbers are increased

[coral violet]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/mission-board is this the only 3rd party mission tracker? im only interested in maelstrom rolls and scrolling through worthless clutter every 30 minutes is annoying

[vocal nacelle]

MMT also tracks every mission

[vernal plaza]

https://maelstroom.net/
With mmt mods

[coral violet]

1 single roll in the span of 24 hours? what the actual fuck

[sour pulsar]

when they rework ogryn they should allow ogryn to break out of a net or dog after a set amount of time, because hes big and strong

think it would be a nice way to buff the class

or it could be a talent node

[quartz flint]

Have you tried just running FXAA?
Also, what settings do you use for lighting?

[keen blaze]

I turned it all off and even ran the game super low on my old 980ti. Same issues.

Heres the 980ti version.

[quartz flint]

Turning it all off won't help, it's morso something specific you have enabled or disabled that is causing this.

Did the forums say anything?

[vocal nacelle]

Might want to tweak config setting and set to potato, if you are running 980ti

[coral violet]

if anything thats gonna worsen the flickering lights situation

[vocal nacelle]

Or update the driver?

[keen blaze]

Thanks for all the responses!

I've tried running at the same setting across 3090/980ti, both higher and lowest (RT excluded obviously).

Also tried FXAA, TAA, off etc and all the same.

Any thoughts if it could be the CPU/SSD?

https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/black-flickering-textures/104358

Here is the forum link. If anyone wants to give it a little bump it'd be super appreciated!

[wary horizon]

do same auras stack?

[shadow skiff]

No.

[quartz flint]

The only other thing I can think of is something like render distance (which I don't think is changeable?) Or texture quality being set to low or a performance setting

For the sake of trial and error, have you tried picking/benchmarking a preset in the darktide launcher and seeing if that helps?

I dont know if darktide will allow you to configure your .ini files, but there may be settings there which aren't on the launcher.

[keen blaze]

Any particular presets you'd suggest? I've changed and tried a few options across multiple GPUs without much success now...

[quartz flint]

I don't know what you calibrate on but i'd be interested to see what medium and high do

[keen blaze]

I use Nvidia suggested generally (through Nvidia app) and have done high + low. Will mess about with a few different settings and see if the forums holds any response. Thanks again for the help!

[vague marten]

not sure if this is gameplay related, but my darktide taskbar icon is not showing properly. Only this generic default icon. How do I change it?

[kindred inlet]

you can try unpinning and repinning it to the Taskbar, if it's pinned

[glacial radish]

That's texture flicking

There are 2 surfaces in the same place, and they';; sometimes flicker between one and the other

Literally 2 assests inside eachother, you can see it

The othersiee of the arch is how is should look

[smoky ember]

the technical term is z-fighting

(i’m pretty sure)

[vague marten]

weird. It's not pinned but if I pin it, it changes to the correct one, if I unpin it, it changes to the generic one

[kindred inlet]

i dont really know what causes that, it happens to some apps sometimes. maybe if you delete the exe and then verify your game itll be fixed because it'll make a new exe

[vague marten]

good idea. I forgot about verifying the files

[keen blaze]

Thanks! Yes z-fighting came up in some searches and I understand how the issue can occur from my college days.

Tried verifying the files a ton of times and to no luck. Really hoping there's a response from the devs but it doesn't appear to be GPU related at least? Thanks again for all the responses!

[vague marten]

I verified the files and it fixed

[sour pulsar]

What was the idea behind making the dueling sword available to all the human classes...

Why

[graceful raptor]

Common sence

[vague marten]

It make more sense being a psyker exclusive weapon

[graceful raptor]

no

[smoky ember]

agreed

ds should not have gone to any other classes

for both balance reasons and thematic reasons

[tawdry wolf]

Does the havoc mission count as a private game?

[vocal nacelle]

nope

but you cant quickplay into havoc

need to use the party finder

or invited by someone already in havoc mission if there's a slot

[sinful coral]

oh boo, I thought I might be able to do malleus monstronum that way

[upper thicket]

how do i fix this? its made my game crash multiple times

ive already verified the files and it says they are all right

[vocal nacelle]

Are you using mods?

[upper thicket]

no

[vocal nacelle]

Did you update your gpu driver?

[upper thicket]

idk

how do i do that

[vocal nacelle]

Are you using amd gpu?

[upper thicket]

how do i check

[vocal nacelle]

On launcher click setting

You can see the gpu you are using

[graceful raptor]

how do you not know what gpu you are using?

[vocal nacelle]

wait nvm it doesnt show but nvidia dlss turned on so it must be Nvdia

[upper thicket]

ya

[signal gate]

no, i have a nvidia card but it defaults AMD stuff for me, you can check what you have on steam

in the top left, Help-> System Information

[vocal nacelle]

https://support.fatshark.se/hc/en-us/articles/7709667528349--PC-How-to-Resolve-GPU-Crashes-in-Darktide try this steps

quick one would be

• Lower 'Worker Thread' Count
• Disable 'Portrait Rendering'
• [Steam] Delete Darktide AppData & Verify Integrity of Game Files

if the game still crash, need to update the driver

[upper thicket]

can i just reinstall the game

[graceful raptor]

how to disable portrait rendering?

couldnt find the info about it anywhere

oh, its in the link

ill try it

[upper thicket]

i delete all of this?

[vocal nacelle]

your crash is related to your GPU

[upper thicket]

aight

DUDE

IF I EVER MEET YOU IRL

IMMA GIVE YOU A FAT SMOOCH

THANK YOU

[upper thicket]

IT WORKED

[vocal nacelle]

[sour pulsar]

i wonder if fat shark has ideas for new enemies, and i dont necessarily mean a new faction

in vermintide they have some horde (non elites) rats with shields that shake things up, i think human sized cultists with shields, would be an easy implement to shake things up

[graceful raptor]

they definitely have the ideas, and they definitely wont tell you about them

[sour pulsar]

lol thats good, could use a surprise this game has soo much potential

i will say i wish you could at least do some light gun customization

like a sight on the lucius lasguns

that makes sense, that wouldnt make it into a COD clone

i mean i think some mods do that, but console players would feel excluded, might aswell implement it

[vocal nacelle]

Depends on GW mood

[stiff verge]

What is a good way to get better at the game? im currently playing with randoms on difficulty 4 but i want to learn 5 but its just too hard for the team. Im running a meta veteran build

[vocal nacelle]

dodge, tag more

[smoky ember]

bulwarks were meant to merge shield enemies into one

so chances are we won’t get horde with shields

[sour pulsar]

if thats true that sucks

breaking small enemy shields in vermintide was so satisfying

[late valley]

I mean feel dreg cultist with shield isn't too unreasonable

We just need more bludgeoning weapons

[sour pulsar]

pls fatshark

[broken raft]

Or dreg snipers

Dreg trappers

Dreg maulers

[cinder hill]

Need people for Twins Secrete difficulty. Only 30’s and Mets builds preferred! Thank you!

i can help you with it when i get back from work, it’ll be about 3:30pm EST

so 4 hours from now

[cinder hill]

Awesome! Just message me in here when you’re ready

Thank you

[smoky ember]

do you have any others with u

or just you

I should have a buddy with me by tat time

alright

Try off-meta weapons or abilities, or swap your character. Learning how team-members play will help improve your overall game sense.

[smoky ember]

play zealot, it helps force you get good at melee combat and situational awareness

which are among the most important things

[broken raft]

My game sense works great until i get stuck in a small room with a bunch of crushers

[sinful coral]

Trauma staff didn't understand this

[cyan rose]

define meta veteran build

[raw smelt]

Penance "No Rebreather Required" is just for me personally or entire strike team cant trigger more than 3 mines ?

[shadow skiff]

The team. A.K.A. you do not want bots. And do it on uprising.

[near raven]

Losing my mind trying to get through Havoc 25 man. I've beaten Havoc 24 several times at this point, but I think I'm at 10+ fails at Havoc 25 by now, all with randoms via in-game party finder.

[stiff verge]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9a565016-bd70-4fe0-8c82-1080bc73412e/veteran-squad-leader

[broken raft]

That looks like an older build

[signal gate]

games lanterns builds don't tend to be meta

[zealous dome]

Couple adjusts and could be meta

[stoic locust]

This build is excessively mid and needs tweaking

[sinful coral]

where do you look for current builds?

[signal gate]

class channels in discord basically

only place with proper peer review and discussion

[cyan rose]

That build is not exactly meta for havoc 40 but is a fine build to learn vet on heresy/damnation

A weapon specialist DS4 build is gonna be harder to play

[smoky ember]

this build is pretty bad

for future reference, don’t trust any games lantern builds

they’re almost all really bad

[zealous dome]

Damn folks
Y'all said the build was bad but didn't show a better one
