Here are the notes for Hotfix 1.0.51 that just went live on Steam, and will be out shortly on the Microsoft Store.
Fixed an issue with the shader caching system (which caused the stuttering and hitching after the last patch).
Fixed a bug where some cosmetic items dissappeared, leaving empty slots on your rejects. this will be temporarily roĺled back due to the accidental creation of Slendergryns
Penances that required other Penances to be completed will now be unlocked and items rewarded as expected when you enter the Mourningstar. One such Penance is the Veteran Sharpshooter “For the Emperor” Penance.
It would be nice to get a shirtless option in the future. Body tattoos would be useful only after that. Anyway, I liked this “bug”. I showed my nice body tattoos to my teammates and heretics as well.
Thanks for dropping your work on new content, and interrupting your normal dev workflow, to ensure this absolutely critical bug was fixed. As we all agree the most important issue Darktide has is minor cosmetics issues.
I’m truly glad you’ve got your priorities straight. The shirtless bug everybody loved and demanded you kept ? Fixed in a matter of days.
The abhorrent mission terminal ensuring we can never play what we want ? Keep it.
The horrible locks on perks and blessings artificially inflating the time required to grind anything ? Keep them.
You have to learn that sometimes something you didn’t do on purpose is worth not fixing.
I love how they “fixed” a net-positive “bug” by giving us a net-negative bug. It is quite clear they have 0 playtesters or QA operating. But damn do I love this dumpstire fire.
I just love fatshark’s target priority. They’re the guy in my games that is trying to use the lucius bayonet to kill one poxwalker while four muties, three trappers, and 6 dogs are trying to jump on my team.
