Hotfix #61 (1.6.8) Patch Notes

Hey Everyone,

Return of the Infected Moebian 21st - LIVE EVENT


A platoon of Moebian 21st soldiers has been infected by the Blight. Their armour will make them harder to deal with than the usual hordes you encounter.

We thought we’d stopped this mess after that trouble at the cathedral. Well, you know what to do.

Play missions with a set of Special Conditions, “Infected Moebian 21st”, and as a team collect Grimoires or Scriptures to earn rewards.

  • This condition will only be available during the event and will appear on both the Standard and Auric mission terminals.
  • Similar to past events, the progress will be shared across all members of the strike team.

This event will start on Thursday, February 20, 2025. The rewards will be Ordo Dockets, Plasteel and Diamantine.

Hotfix #61 (1.6.8) is currently rolling out and it’ll be available for everyone across our platforms today. You’ll find the notes below.

  • Hong Kong server region now generally available.
  • Fixed an issue which caused the Empower weapon crafting operation to occasionally give results that didn’t match the preview.
  • General crash fixes and stability improvement for PS5.
  • Fixed a crash which could happen when loading into the Excise Vault Spireside-13 mission.

Dev Note: Excise Vault Spireside-13 will return to the mission board on Thursday, February 20.

  • Fixed a clipping issue on the back plate of the “Truskan Pattern Fatigues with Flak Vest (Glacial Might)” Veteran cosmetic upperbody.
  • Changed the name of the “Combat Axe (Saint’s Fluke)” weapon skin cosmetic in order for it to more accurately reflect the weapon family it’s compatible with.

Very cool to see Excise Vault finally returning.
But I do wish these hotfixes would include more bug fixes, cause there’s so many out there of which we have no idea if they’ll ever get fixed.

PS: I know we’re not gonna get it very soon, I’m hoping tough.

I haven’t seen this mentioned before! If you haven’t already, please submit a bug report or see if it’s mentioned on our Warhammer 40,000: Darktide > Technical Support section. That way we can look into it.

What about Illissi mk IIA Psykana Collar?

I vote to simply keep the event modifiers as auric modifiers after the event runs out! That’s how dogs and daemonhosts and lights out were introduced and it’s far better than cycling it out!

They’re doing it again, again

This update has introduced a bug.
The game now stutters in an extremely consistent pattern.
Approximately every second, the game hangs for about 50 milliseconds.

This looks very different from the stuttering that may happen after large updates, caching, or whatever that is. This clearly isn’t that.
