Arbites loadout bugged - insta-crash

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Technical Support
1

Issue Type (Required):

Loadouts

Issue Description (Required):

The new Arbites class has a problem where when creating another loadout (as in, more than 1 loadout) and switching to it, immediately hard crashes the game.
Once the game crashes, when you log back in, the loadout your character has equipped is the one that has crashed the game. It is safe to switch away from this loadout, however switching back in will, again, crash the game.

I have also tried creating the maximum amount of loadouts to determine if it’s just the ‘‘Loadout #2’’ that crashes the game or not, during this I have found that the position has no meaning, and also TRYING TO DELETE THE BUGGED LOADOUTS will crash the game.
The ‘‘deleted’’ loadouts also do not disappear after logging in.

Steps to Reproduce (Required):

  • Play Arbites class at level below 30 (tested on every level, between levels 12 and 25 for now)
  • Create any amount of loadout slots
  • Switch from the leftmost to any other loadout
  • game crashes

Hey FatShark,

I can see that you’ve marked the bug as acknowledged, but have you gotten around to fixing it ?
I have not seen any mention of this in any of your patchnotes and this is making playing as an Arbite a pain in the ass.
Having to manually change everything each time I want to play something different is just annoying.

I am a paying customer, you should at least pretend to do anything to fix it

Hey Village, unfortunately, these investigations can take some time. I can assist with a refund for the class if preferred.

Do you happen to have the same Curio equipped in separate slots in your active loadout?

Thank you for offering the refund but that won’t be necessary.

As for the curios:
Yes, I have the same set (as in, 3 different curios) of curios equipped on all my builds and switch them out as needed with 2-3 others.
I do the same for all the other classes and have never had a problem with that.
