Failed binding to network address on NordVPN

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Technical Support
1

Issue Type (Required):

Connectivity

Issue Description (Required):

I’m no longer able to connect beyond initial splash screen and proceed to operative selection while NordVPN is connected. Had no issues previously, but I believe a recent update of the VPN software (version 7.27.5.0 → 7.28.4.0) may have caused the issue. Unfortunately I do not have a way of downgrading to test this. May be a similar issue to this thread Can't Boot Up While Using Nord VPN though their work-around of disconnecting from VPN until operative selection does not work for me.

[PC] Do You Use Mods? (Optional):

Yes, and I’ve tried disabling them

Reproduction Rate (Required):

Constant (100%)

Steam (PC)

Hello! What is the result with VPN disconnected?

3

The game functions normally when the VPN is disconnected.

I think our ability to support may be limited unfortunately. Ultimately there is a third party interference, so your best bet may be to query this with NordVPN.

Are there any executable files that I could add to a split-tunneling ‘exception’ list? That way I could continue to utilize my VPN for other applications without having to disconnect/reconnect each time I wish to play Darktide.
