Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Network & Connectivity Feedback
1

Please be aware that we will monitor all submissions in Network & Connectivity Feedback, however, we will only respond if additional information is required.

Issue Description:
PvE experience is ruined with 200~ ping to closest server, yet game is sold here at full price. I believe Darktide runs on AWS, AWS headquarters are literally in Cape Town. They absolutely have servers here.

Attempted Solutions:
Applied to live in Europe to play Darktide (was declined at embassy for some reason), VPN (still 200 ping obviously)

Platform:
Steam + Microsoft store

PC Specifications:
R7 5800x3d, Nvidia RTX3070, 16gigs of ram, game running on NVME, internet speed 500mbps down / 250mbps connected to router via ethernet.

I am on extended stay in ZA and am not able to connect to the game servers at all. Regardless of ping issues

Any possible reply on if it’s even planned or if I should give up on hope :frowning:

Replying to hopefully get some eyes on this. Really sucks to have the experience ruined by geography lottery.
