Hotfix #51 (1.5.4) - Patch Notes

[Ralendil]

@Eternam

you should play without any problem with an rtx 3060ti.

I have a 3080. But my 11900k is on a chinese mainboard that lack 1 4 pin alimentation.
I wait the 265k I ordered and see if the problem is still here.
But, even if it disappears after, fact is I did not have this blurred screen before the patch, and that I get them now.

@Elodie

61 is just as likely as 59, fixing it would address both. Besides, we’re talking about a bug. 381+ base score items aren’t supposed to exist.

Yes. But the bug is irrelevant.
Might as well just call it a feature, where some rare items have ±1 point.

Someone who does not read the forums, might not even think that it is a bug at all.

@Elodie

If it’s not just a visual bug then leaving those in the game so some people who happened to be active at this time would still have them years down the line, would be nothing short of amateurish to the extreme. I can’t even think of a game that’s done that. Even if 1% is insignificant.

You can probably think of multiple games, where an irrelevant bug was never fixed, or even became an official feature.

@Elodie

Also these issues are highly similar, both seeming to deal with rounding issues during upgrade.

In one case, the stats immediately tell you that the item will end up deviating from 380 by 1 point (in very rare cases it can be 2 points). You get what the game says you will get.
This here can entirely be explained by items rolling with decimals and then rounding up or down to the closest whole number.
None of that changes when upgrading. It has nothing to do with upgrading.

In the other case, the max stats are rerolled during upgrade.
It can be a change of multiple points per stat, which can not be explained by rounding at all.
And even if it could, it would still make no sense, because the max stats should be set in stone. How could they possibly just change randomly, because of some rounding error?

How would a rounding error cause a “increasing the current value will change the max value“ problem?
Why can the max value change at all, after the item is created?

—

Fixing the ±1 max stat bug accomplishes nothing of value.

But players who might have deliberately bought a lot of items to get a weapon with 381 points, or to get a force sword with a 59 on the peril stat, now get their ressources wasted, retroactively.

Now what happens to a 381 item, if the 1 point being dedudcted, is removed from a stat where a breakpoint is now no longer reached?

It is absolutely a pointless fix, that does not benefit anyone.

[Eternam]

i think with this patch needs you to resetting everything again. so i recomend you to change everything at low setting. Then change your config at was before the update.
Also put your resolution at the native monitor.

Lmao did this guy actually just say plasma gun can “1 shots crushers” ?

@supra898

maybe play warframe instead where everything is power crept to the max

“maybe play warframe instead where everything is power crept to the max”
maybe you should join arrowhead

I’ve been playing both in the NA server and Asia server for over two years.
Some of the players on this forum actually care more about asking Fatshark to nerf the “OP weapons,” rather than fixing bugs in the game (many of which have existed since the release) and adding more content to the game (especially the end game content).

From my personal experience, the average NA server player’s skill sucks, can’t figure out how to walk in auric or maelstrom, and in this forum they somehow think those good players “ruined their game” and demand to nerf those “OP weapons.” (And smite? for real?)

Yes lolololol

Seriously, you really have think that PG could not one shot a crusher?
The most powerful ranged weapon of the game? seriously?

[Mezmorki]

If you’re having resolution issues, post here:

KNOWN ISSUE: Resolution, DSR & Fullscreen Exclusive Issues

We are looking in to a number of issues concerning resolution, DSR and the removal of ‘Fullscreen Exclusive’. We will share any updates relating to these issues here. Existing reports may be merged here, to help us keep track of the issues being reported.

Seems to be that if you play DT in a non-native resolution the game displays in a smaller shrunken window only utilizing a portion of your screen.

Exiting and relaunching the game seems to fix itself - HOWEVER touching any of the display settings affecting resolution, frame prediction, FPS limits, etc pushes it back into “shrunken window mode” and requires a restart.

There also appears to be issues with ultra wide displays not displaying correctly ever, or certain FSR combinations leaving you stuck in shrunken window mode.

Possible work around include:

1. Changing your desktop display resolution in windows prior to launching the game.

2. Finding a workable combination of display settings in game, then restarting Darktide and hope it doesn’t pop back into shrunken mode again.

All in all, this is pretty frustrating.

[supra898]

dont even need exe stance btw, can just go the usual focus target

@wcchaa

+25% against carapace.

this is not enough
you are missing around 300 damage

[Ralendil]

@wcchaa

lastly, from your build I now understand why most players in the NA server just suck in general (unless you just created a build only to prove that PG can “one shot crusher”)

great… you understand so many things…
Well, now understand that I don’t play PG, and that this loadout was created in 5 seconds just to show that, yes, you can one shot crushers.

@wcchaa

first, that secondary shot is actually a three-shot (9 ammo)
second, if you’re using right-click, you don’t even need to use the ability but simply give the plasma gun a “+25% against carapace”
thirdly, that “+10% rending” doesn’t really do anything for PG against carapace enemies

true for the +10% rending… but as I don’t play this gun cause it is OP, I don’t care

I could have put +25% carapace also… I did not want to spend 1 more minute on this.

And the conclusion? you have forgotten the conclusion!

@TheFatherofPork

1 shots crushers

@wcchaa

Lmao did this guy actually just say plasma gun can “1 shots crushers” ?

So, it one shot crusher? yes. So I can say “Lmao did this guy actually just say plasma gun can’t “1 shots crushers” ?”

EDIT and PS: for the tone of my posts, looking at your posts, I feel it is the right tone.

[Ralendil]

@wcchaa

Using an extreme build that normal players would never use is ludicrous in its fundamental logic. And your PG fired 9 bullets 3 shots, not 1.

And?
You said a PG cannot one shot a crusher. I have shown that it is totally possible.
What do you want to argue? I don’t care of the build, the ammo consumation etc. Without even playing with this gun, in 1 minute I have made a build that one shot crushers.

@wcchaa

yeah I’m not sure why you don’t even know that, skill issue I guess.

I don’t know why you seems unable to read. Brain issue I guess.

@wcchaa

Plasma gun is just a good weapon, but for players with skill levels like you I guess yes, you’re right, it is OP indeed. If other players use it, it would ruin your game for certain.

Not entirely true. From my experience, or it ruin my game, or the PG player is totally useless.

@wcchaa

But my point is, from your logic and the fact that you don’t even know rending doesn’t really work on PG, I can now understand why some self-called pro gamers here think Plasma gun is “OP.”

I knew it and I’ve written it… but as I said, I don’t play PG, at all. So you want to look like the elite of gamers… good… but at least when you want to mock of an other forum user, try to say something smart.

[wcchaa]

oh pls don’t misunderstand, I do believe every game needs to have a balance, I just don’t think you “pro gamers” know how to balance the game, actually any games.

[supra898]

all i wish for currently is for plasma nerf and complete smite rework
is this really that insane ?

[XDW]

I have two issues with this patch so far.

1 after putting my settings roughly back to where they were before (which was running great btw) my GPU temp now sits at the highest I have ever seen it, this includes in Cyberpunk with path tracing on (on a 3070 lol) or that time I set a 3dmark record with a custom bios to dump excessive amounts of power in to the card. How did you do that I’m on the normal don’t boil the solder bios again (and have been for two years its not because of this). End of round temps are 6 degrees higher than pre patch, 4 degrees above peek for all other games or benchmarks I have ran in the last few weeks. not much but as the kind of hardware nerd that is ocd about this kind of thing I’m sure this is a thing.

2 I’ve tried to play 2 games and both of them crashed not just for me but for the person I was playing with and the second game we both crashed at the same time with different error messages and could not rejoin the game.

Possible issue that I will look in to but seems to be a thing, I didn’t get frame tearing (noticeably at least) pre patch but now I do and it can be jarring, maybe down to the changes to fullscreen implementation. Vsync didn’t do anything, removing my frame cap didn’t help (both of these made things worse if anything), nor did re-enabling.

Hope this has been a net possitive because as regular player I kind of cant be botherd to performance tweek this game again, I had things running great without crashes or stutters or frame tearing and now the game looks nicer but has issues making it borderline unplayable. AGAIN.

@supra898

is this really that insane ?

Aboslute no

Smite should be reworked and plasma nerfed. But the list of weapons that should be nerfed grow up patch after patch.
We are at the point that I think that fatshark should just buff the tiny list of weapons that are weak (or buff blessings sometimes) and introduce 2 new difficulties, so an heresy++ and damnation++ after the power buff we have all known since patch 13 (so patch 13 and all other patches after until now).
The ++ is to point an Auric+ difficulty. So something above auric (yes again, not my choices, FS ones)

This is a lot of work for nothing and that will cause problems (players splited in so many difficulty levels could cause problems) … but this is the way they seem to adopt. I don’t see them nerfing a lot of weapons (PG, revolver, Bolter, kickback etc.)

[supra898]

@Ralendil

But the list of weapons that should be nerfed grow up patch after patch.

dont get me wrong, those are just the biggest offenders currently
many weapons need to get tweaked or completely reworked (90% of ogryn arsenal)

[XDW]

He shot once aka 1 shot.

who cares how much ammo is used by a shot, the term one shot refers to shooting something once and it goes down. It is not a 3 shot because firing once used three shots of ammo, which if as you say is 9 ammo then surely its a 9 shot in your logic and a 3 shot for every normal shot which is weird.

If I’m in a game and someone fires ONCE and kills the target they ONE SHOT that target, how much ammo or button presses it might of taken doesn’t change the observed effect of 1 shot 1 kill is 1 shot

[Ralendil]

@wcchaa

I’m not “elite gamer,” but yes I think clearly any normal player (or human) with a functional brain won’t use an extreme example to prove something is “out of control,” and funny how you think I’m mocking other forum users, while you and your kind are mocking PG players “noobs.”

Read what the post, above this one, said.
Seriously, you should stop here. This really becomes embarrassing for you.

[supra898]

@wcchaa

NA players

na players are terrible and somehow worse than eu pubs

[Ralendil]

@wcchaa

tbh reading your words and trying to understand its logic feels embarrassing for me enough.

Same for me… trying to demonstrate that you cannot one shot a crusher when you have seen a video that clearly shown it… I don’t know where you want to go…

@wcchaa

Watching you say “I never use PG!” (I see your logic here, but it’s really stupid for regular players) and then trying to prove that PG can “1 shot” a crusher is more like watching an elementary school student do calculus.

You said it is not possible. I have provided a video that show it.

I wonder why you continue to want to argue… The video is clear. I used a charged shot, but I have one shot a crusher. And you clearly said that wasn’t possible by mocking another user.
