Content incoming? No, hotfix

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide General Discussion
1

I am curious, is anyone else absolutely sick of the CONSTANT barrage of hotfixes? I don’t understand why its considered normal for them to release a patch and then accompany that patch with 2-10 hotfixes. At this point the majority of updates we get are HOTFIXES for issues THEY CREATED with their faulty patch work.

I scroll through games in my steam library and I do not see any other games following this line of thinking. What I do see are regular/small updates being provided and they actually work! Darktide? A small update will happen and now the next 3 updates will be HOTFIXES to FIX their SMALL UPDATE. They had all the framework needed from V2 and yet here we are. What a joke lol

So you’d rather they leave bugs they’ve found how to patch for longer so that they’re alongside content ?

3

I’d rather have a functional game with less content than a game with tons of content that breaks all the time.

Looking at you, BETHESDA.

4

It just works.

5

Better than doing a 2 month long event after a content patch with next to no hotfixes at all.

coughCrytekcough

6

Updates are good, however small.

No updates is bad. Simple.

7

Wild take, completely disagree. TWW3 has made a U-turn and its consistently updating their game.

8

yes, i’d prefer more content, but this doesn’t mean i don’t appreciate a good fix. i’d be more than happy with a fix for that awful frozen screen after a mission or when floating in orbit for now.

9

Not if they come from Bethesda and break mods for months.

10

f4se and steam set to only ever update when the “real” .exe is launched, which realistically never happens.

11

The most egregious example of this was the recent “Fallout: London” fiasco.

12

the riddle of gameplay?
shall i give you the answer?
its the least i can do.

what is content compared to the engine that wields it?
look at the loading after missions,
the errors in the message.

such a waste.

contemplate this on the ending screen of woe

:joy:

13

soup can harry would say this was done on purpose.
and he should know as the proud overseer without a tie… or pants :smile:

14

Some of these replies are a perfect example of why Fatshark can get away with this and have no repercussions once so ever - “Id rather them fix bugs they brought into the game with their current patch than not fixing any of the bugs that were non existent before the current patch” you really can’t make this sh*t up LOL

15

No, I would rather have them release NON BROKEN CONTENT so they don’t have to fix their BROKEN CONTENT with a HOTFIX.

16

See, I fully agree with this, but I’m also of the opinion that they should also be fixing bugs that already exist. These are not mutually exclusive viewpoints. I really don’t know what you’re trying to argue here.

Honestly, trolling should have more effort put into it. It’s obvious to me that you’re just doing this for kicks, and it’s working.

17

Man, we talked about you being extremely toxic, didn’t we?

18

I suppose that he think that every Hotfix delay a content patch. Or that each Hotfix should instead be a content patch. Which while it would be nice. Isn’t really equivalent.

Just angry winging

comes to mind.

i´m pretty sure the devs don´t release broken stuff on purpose, but before adding to the pile, one should clean the mess up first, no ?

besides those creating content and those fixing the mess might very well be two different teams for all i know.

The thing is, as sad as it is to say it. Those days of gaming are long gone. Sure, some companies out there might manage to consistently release things in a very polished state, but that just isn’t the standard anymore.

And to be devil’s advocate, this is still better than the days when if a really bad bug did make it to release, it was too late and it couldn’t be fixed.

I’ll settle for a company that is at least willing to try and fix things they break, even if they don’t take the time to give it the same level of QA of the games of yesteryear.

You don’t have to like it, but nothing short of global legal regulation is going to change the state of games to be what it once was. And I wouldn’t trust a politician to do it right anyway.
