Fixed an issue where some of the weapons with a Special activate action failed to correctly refresh their activation if the Special action was performed again while in the active duration of a previous Special activation.

Weapons with a Special activate action lose charge upon hit, is that a BUG? This kind of thing does not happen before unlocked and loaded update.

Power swords lose charge upon hit

Issue Type (Required): Weapons Issue Description (Required): It seems the power swords lose their charge once the player gets damaged Steps to Reproduce (Required): equip power sword activate charge get damaged [PC] Do You Use Mods? (Optional): Yes, and I’ve tried disabling them Reproduction Rate (Required): Constant (100%) Platform (Required): PC - Steam

I immediately knew this was fake because FS can’t be this based.

Lol almost no one even runs it on aurics

[Scipo0419]

I can dream, can’t I?

I swear I’m starting to see Solo Mode in the patch notes as hallucinations. Is this what Chaos feels like?

[FatsharkStrawHat]

Looking into it, thank you

[supra898]

getting disconnected / aborted mission every game this patch
errors 2012 and 3012 i believe
true level mod also broken, and steam names are not appearing in post game screen, nor in game with the whoareyou mod

[FatsharkStrawHat]

Hey Supra,

Not surprised a mod is broken after a hotfix. I’m sure they’ll get there!

For the disconnects / aborted missions, would you be willing to submit a quick report? https://support.fatshark.se/hc/en-us/requests/new with a game log: How To Provide a Crash Report, Console Log, or darktide_launcher.log ?

Updated software that should address the issue of players being unable to see or type in chat.

I hope it will be fixed with this patch. This was the most annoying bug hurting me…

not a mod issue, steam names in post-game screen show as N/A
social thingies might be broken on your guys’ end

[MadMartigan]

That seems like a good compromise IMO. Should please everyone and it’s kinda strange it’s not that way already!

[FatsharkStrawHat]

Ahh, yes. We are looking into some buggy social thingies on our end right now.

[supra898]

cant invite people too through social menu
everyone is showing as offline in the ingame friendlist

[Ralendil]

it seems the hotfix will get an hotfix.

[supra898]

It’s very obvious when you holding power sword and against ragers. Seems to happen when player is stunned.

@jackjackson

Because the thing has virtually zero downsides for what it does.

It’s great for blapping stuff in a conga line or standing on top of each other in a clump. It’s got terrible boss DPS, while similarly suffering from lots of downtime and DPS loss in longer engagements particularly if enemies aren’t all in one straight line, and people with less than stellar hand-eye coordination can’t hit anything beyond point blank range if the target is moving at all due to the fire delay.

Lots of people see “X player killed Dreg Rager” pop up on the screen 6 times at once when a huddled group gets blapped and go “oh man that thing is insane”, but in terms of mission success rates and average damage/kill output relative to many other guns the PG doesn’t appear to really shift the needle much.

If the PG has a sin, it’s that it doesn’t need to, and largely can’t, be built into with talents. It doesn’t really care about crits/weakspots/etc the way a Lasgun or Autogun might, they don’t multiply the damage output of a PG just slightly enhance it, so you have more points to spend on resiliency and utility talents instead.

Fixed an issue where shots from the M35 Magnacore Mk II Plasma Gun failed to penetrate Bulwark shields.

I thought it was nice intentional design from last patch.

Made someone try to be more precise to hit arm, leg or flank around it, rather straight up shoot right through.
