It is one factor if devs decide whether to maintain a separate console development branch
i.e. if active 10K PC players and 3K Xbox players - Then it would be deemed worth workload in maintaining support for it.
I’m sorry but PC players are not superior to console players, and I know too well having watched streamers on PC failing just as much as console players. I’d love to play on PC but I am so clever I found a way to play DT on my S20 Ultra smartphone via xb game pass and it performs great, especially bc even if I played on PC I’d still be using a controller as the keyboard makes me touch the wrong keys anyway. Just because there are a couple dozen good PC players and then there are console players like myself whom have ran with Auric Damnation and Maelstrom streaming champs and did pretty good too, I still stand on how not everyone wins everytime regardless of platform.
Lastly, in cases of players that have handled poorly, I seen its due to how serious they take the game (literally been trash talked to for communication and for instruction of how to get a penance) and/or they don’t understand the mechanics of the game and/or the player took no time to look into the lore (don’t care about WH40k they just in game for wanton destruction) and/or the generalized apathetic gamer treating it like CoD Fartnite Blox

Pc players are more reasonable people usually in games. What games does the majority of people play on consoles? Yes not coop games not games where you rely on each other.
It’s usually PvP games where you can clutch it alone
Alas
- Fornite
-Cod
-Battle royal games
Easy to play dopamine games which makes you feel “good”. Not games where you have to refine your movement or work as a team (fortnite might be the only game cause of building which requires more in depth skill but that’s such a minority)
Then headsets are important in games which rely on sound. How many ps player use headsets?

unrelated but do you have a download for the vacuum capsule mod?
Couldn’t have done it without all the xbox players

You are absolutely wrong, and you proved it by saying what you did. Given how little the xbox player base represents vs the total, if you see “just as many” it means the xboxers are failing more by a factor of 3-5.
For a population that makes up, what, 20%? They are over-represented in every silly anti-team noob move category.

The point of this thread is not to fan the flames of the console vs pc war. This tribalistic talking of “who is better than the other” shouldn’t matter when it comes to playing the game.
When I play the game, I don’t check to see who’s using what console. Because for me, if I did that? I would criticize myself for trying to find an excuse in team failure(s) and removing myself from the process of elimination in troubleshooting; (i.e. putting a halo bias on myself).
So, can we stop these toxic takes? There’s bad players on both systems. There’s good players on both systems. We shouldn’t judge the player by the system they’re on. Nor should we foster a sense of innate inferiority/superiority by what system you use.
That’d be really great if we could stop doing all of that.
It’s cool if we come by other topics through discussion, but they don’t need to go in that direction.
This spare rig of yours, was it perchance previously designed for P2P server hosting? (If that’s what it’s called.) I can see why you would want to revert to that. That makes sense, and I agree that it’s nice to have a dedicated host that can provide a reliable service.
I also remember that most people couldn’t afford the big servers that handle the numerous players that we see here. I have to wonder about the bandwidth availability for high traffic as I remember having issues connecting with people across the US. My connection was blamed because I was the odd one out trying to connect to US E from US W. My connection was fine.
This problem was also noticeable when people had poor internet speeds and tried to host a server and were in your same region.
Then again, I could really appreciate the need for those who have some regs that they play with. I’m typically a solo-queue guy. So it’s entirely possible there’s something I’m missing, not trying to be offensive, but just providing the limit of my knowledge on the subject of p2p servers through my experience.
If I am mistaken, would you be so kind bring clarity to any misperceptions I have about it?
absolutely, my example(maybe poorly phrased) was the one failed attempt of a consolero at a failed clutch in all those matches .
plenty of my uploaded rounds are testament of the former : pc guys clutching what console guys messed up

Oh amazing. Who in they right mind need more content for the game, while we can have more useless console players that will die every two minutes cause they cant dodje\push\block.
Why do Steam playerbase have to suffer bein glorified make are wish foundation for console freaks?
Not allowing PC players to disable crossplay is the biggest f you i ever seen, apart from fatshark default behavior towards darktide.
Well now atleast we know why we can`t have shyte in atoma.

PS5 port confirmed?
Well that explains the content starvation of 2024…
I get it - FS need to make more money with this and giving PS players the opportunity to roam Atoma is a good thing.
Yet for this type of game it is very likely that your PC player base will remain the core audience. And achieving a port by neglecting that base is not wise.
Also they could also increase profit by a less hostile cash shop.
However - I guess while cross play will still be non optional cross progression will still not be a thing. Which is a pity as I could probably get my wife to play again with me if she could do it on the couch without losing her progression.

my rig before darktide left beta was an
I7-8700k
rtx 2080
couple m2 ssd
32 gb ram
usually more than enough to host 6 people conan exiles with a latency of my guests at around 20-40
thing is, those games got a .exe that fires up a server with the options the admin would have.
none of the graphic stuff is needed BUT it helped tremendously taking off the cpu load when going build-crazy(part of conan exiles is base building in huge proportions)
so while having stuff like torches emitting lights of different color, the object itself is laughable for a curren gpu.
having hundreds of em in different bases though tanks the performance of any rig if you dont use a server.
so the physics payload can be partially put on the external machine.
given darktide is a 4 man game and the rig was able to pull off around 60 fps with high details but not raytracing, i’d wager given a darktide server menu and only having to manage the physical behavior of 4 people would be more than feasible.
even if not, as soon as the rtx 5080 releases, my current rig could take the place and serve as a dedicated server given the opportunity.
fire up the thing at the usual hours european time and i’d think i wouldn’t want for players.

Exactly. No one is here to suggest console peasants and the glorious master race are in any way different… Jk oc.
But having option to specify cross play or pc only matchmaking would be quite nice.
So it is when it shows up like below #xxxx ?
In that case, must be alot of Xbox players. When I click social within mourningstar, half have this name format.

Controller = 
K&B = 
I’m sure there’s a cultural advantage to the controller, but a mouse is just a more accurate pointing device. That’s just a fact 
Anyway. I’m all for more players if it keeps the lights on. I’ve peaked as a player (certainly had to reduce play-time), so I’m not looking to do the hardest Aurics all the time any more. Prefer to chill a bit in the 5^s.

Funny thing is console players are allowed to option out of crossplay as the platform force game devs 
So the hysteria of the intellectually unarmed and elitist, anti-console players begins again. Great.
