Ok checked.
It has appeared in this version. So not an unactivated code, but a new part added by this patch (I had the zip of the code for the last patch, so easy to compare).
The file region_restrictions_steam.lua was not existing before this patch.
It seems to aim several regions (3) + unknown ones.
And it seems restriction not for playing game, but just to disable “horror” part of the game (blood, dismembering etc.)
The structure of the code snippet that achieves this suggests it’s not simply a bug, it was a deliberate decision to enable it for PC. Of course, it might still just be a miscommunication or something, but they did specifically flip it on for PC.
It’s about to get stuffy
The textual status of the download is as disgusting as it is questionable.
Why memory leakage only for PS5 will be eliminated, on the PC such problems? Exactly, right, no?
Cosmetic fixes…and no desire to correct the extra 4 points in the skill of the electric staff?
The fire talent has enthusiasm - I’m not saying anything at all here.
Wall
I recently adopted the psyker wall for myself and try to use it more often, and if there are no questions to its interaction with Flamethrowers, Nets, Explosives and Mutants, there are questions to the work with dogs. Either I have a defective wall, or I do not understand the description of especially its interaction with specialists, but with dogs it has a special attitude, if the dog makes a jump into the target - the dog crashes as it should, but if it just runs, it usually does not stop and runs through, from which I conclude that it is considered a specialist only at the time of the jump, or I’m wrong, explain for the idiot.
25kk
Quality of life))) My favourite, and what about gold limits, no desire to remove the limit of 25kk, I do not want to hear even that not everyone has such ‘problems’, where do I spend gold? Will come out now 3 new guns, and I will spend a million 3 maximum, and for how many hours they I have back, I play not for gold, I like gameplay, but you know sometimes it’s nice to see that I have a lot of money, but when the next time the reward is given and becomes 2500053850 and then in the lobby you again have exactly 25, not nice. What will happen to the game from the fact that the limit will be removed, what?
Quality of life
A little more about quality of life, what is the problem to add more slots under the saved builds, I have 12 slots on the characters I play, and they are different, yes 5 is kind of enough, but but flip constantly - nonsense, with the release of the 13th patch this should have been solved, but still not.
Agree or criticise, laugh - I don’t care, I’m talking about my problems, if you don’t have any - good for you.
The server is still called a host, normal nomenclature. The hub host is the server that fatshark provides. I dunno what a prostelo is though.
If you’re referring to the out-of-LUA-memory crash, this isn’t what these patchnotes refer to. On the topic of that though, the PC version doesn’t suffer from it any more than the PS5 version, but installing mods excarberates the out-of-LUA-memory error. This isn’t exactly something that I’d expect Fatshark to fix. Take it up with the mod authors who write terribly bloated mods, because that’s what causes this error to become frequent. I have a decently sized modlist but have seen this error only once in almost 1000 hours of playtime.
to match a phrase made by the feared “orange man”
"everything console turns to 
"
was putting aside another 5k to buy new custom rig come the 5090 and switch to the latest amd x3
(since ages of pentium but stalker 2 gets my watercooling boiling right now)
for the sole reason to enjoy 100+ragdolls at once gibbing, contorting and writhing in the most beautiful meat mass doable by modern hardware.
if possible remove the corpse disappearance all together and have the halls stuffed with heretical remains.
breadbox costs what ? 1/10th of said rig?
so i’m willing to spend 10x consoles on my dream of getting the maximum darktide experience to have it censored by people telling me i shouldnt defend myself come a burglar that “only wants my stuff”?
now how about getting some true gore then after catching the “misunderstood poor individual” and turn him into a jerky statue gunther von hagens would get nightmares from.
but sure, games turn people violent, governmental censorship of passtime activities you need to shut off the thats your everyday outside exposure surely cant have anything to do with it.
remember kids, games bad mkay
i don’t know, i hope we get an official statement on this. as well as a way to opt out.
any issues with synchronizing crossplay, if fatshark has to keep restrictions imposed by sony on psn?
but whatever, i’m playing darktide on my pc i build specifically for this game. not on psn where sony can patronize their customers.
I personally don’t think they could have any actual legal reason to do this, unless it’s related to Sony somehow. Either Sony is to blame (and by extension Fatshark by taking that contract just to defecate upon the players who have supported and bought their game already (labor of love btw)) or it’s a genuine brainfart someone had and they’ll reverse it soon.
I think it wouldn’t a crossplay synch issue, rather I think IF Sony is the culprit they have some extremely outdated policies to adhere to regional censorship laws. Like, they still think it’s 2008 and that German media must be censored. What’s odd is that Japan also gets this censorship.
I wouldn’t say it’s outdated to obey local laws. Seems like a risky choice to ignore them.
Are the laws themselves outdated? Yeah probably.
That’s the thing though, the last game I saw that was censored in Germany was from like 2008. The laws for all intents and purposes are absolutely not a thing anymore. Decades of games that haven’t had any censorship whatsoever, but now it’s back with Darktide of all things? It’s either a complete mistake or some Sony policy oddity.
If you talk about the region restrictions, it is clearly just for steam and introduced by this patch.
However, I don’t see why they introduced that after 2 years.
The last game censored in France was The Saboteur (2009)
And it was due to nazi flag not authorized in my country for games (but allowed for movies)
I had to buy the english version of the game
I don’t know if they have changed the law… I doubt as we are clearly $%^#@ on this point.
We tend to censor more and more things with the idea that there is unacceptable statements.
they would say we’re teh crazy
we are, crazy to the point of castrating our own potential.
Yep! It is.
It should come out on December 3 or on the very next hotfix! 
I’m looking into this with the team! I’m sharing all the requests I’ve seen.
Hey there Index,
I’m not sure if you reported via Support but we’ve seen some similar posts. We rolled out some changes based on the Age Rating boards’ recommendations and rules. However, when we first rolled out, Germany was amongst a couple regions that had more restrictions incorrectly changed.
**Edit: I know this answer won’t make y’all too happy but we’re currently verifying the change and it’ll be included in the first hotfix for Grim Protocols, which will come out on 5 Dec. Ragdoll Interaction will remain off but the other gore that you previously saw should be re-enabled.
Hey, please see my reply above to Index.
Thank you kindly! I hope it is just some bug.
now please tell me thats a late aprils fool joke.
basically you’re turning stuff off that was fine for 2 years so consoles can hop on?
i literally made an austrian account to play dead island 2 uncut and messed up those bodies out of sheer spite of the censorship in place.
honestly, this is slap in the face beyond measure.
whats the point in upgrading my rig anymore for darktide?
OK, I have an official statement now, especially to reply to people who were asking why now?
This is something we weren’t doing before, but as we’ve released on more platforms, we want to ensure we have a cohesive age-rating compliance across our platforms. This is what led to the change.
That said, when we were applying these, Germany and Austria were two of the regions where more restrictions were incorrectly applied than necessary. Those will be rolled back at our hotfix on Dec. 5. From there, it’ll be the same experience, but ragdoll interactions will be turned off.
