Havoc not displaying mission info in Party Finder

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Bugs

Issue Type (Required):

UI & UX

Issue Description (Required):

It’s likely that this is already on the devs’ radar, but I’m seeing more and more posts about people trying to start Havoc missions and no one joining them. Simultaneously, there are many people seeing (and it has almost exclusively been my experience too) dozens and dozens of join requests for Havoc missions across various Havoc rank brackets. My experience is based on only joining Havoc missions that have their mission information (level and conditions/modifiers) graphically displayed in the Party Finder. I actively avoid any groups that are tagged as Havoc but don’t have that UI.

Looking at my console logs, I can see where the Group/Party Finder is pulling data from the available matches. For matches where the mission information is present, it looks like this:

{
  category = "us-east",
  config = {
    havoc_circ_1 = "mutator_havoc_tougher_skin"
    havoc _mission _template = "fm_armoury"
    havoc _order_id = "REDACTED"
    havoc_order_owner - "REDACTED"
    havoc_order_rank = "1",
    havoc_theme - "default",
  },
  event_type = "advertisement_state_update",
  party_id = "REDACTED",
  restrictions = {
  },
  status = "SEARCHING",
  tags = f
    "havoc",
    "game _mode",
    "my_havoc_order",
    "havoc_order_threshold_1",
  },
  version = 34,
},

But the data for many parties looks like this:

{
  category = "us-east",
  config = {
  },
  event_type - "advertisement_state_update"
  party_id = "REDACTED",
  restrictions = {
  },
  status = "SEARCHING",
  tags = {
    "havoc",
    "game_mode",
    "havoc_order_threshold_2",
  },
  version = 4,
}

I don’t know why this is happening – although my guess is that starting the mission with 2 players from the Havoc menu/view works properly because that view gets/sets some values based on the player’s current Havoc Order – but I think it might be the cause of some of the issues where people aren’t getting people joining their missions. And since you can’t click the Party Finder button when solo, it seems people are working around that by starting a Havoc mission via the Party Finder link in the main menu.
