In the meantime, you can read the notes below. General Fixes - Fixed additional crashes which could happen during loadings, and particularly the transition between missions and the Mourningstar. Dev Note: The related crash error message is: [Script Error]: scripts/foundation/managers/package/package\_manager.lua:436: Trying to unload resource. Additional notes - The description of the “Superiority” Blaze Force Sword blessing was updated to also include Specialist enemies. This is a change that will be fully introduced in a future update, so for now there will not be any effect in active gameplay. ![DarktideHeader](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/fatshark/optimized/3X/0/2/02372b81db63ab52169d4d6ceace745abf1e17bc_2_690x32.png) We’ll see you on the Mourningstar. – The Darktide Team ---

> [@FatsharkKitefin](#): > > This is a change that will be fully introduced in a future update, so for now there will not be any effect in active gameplay. That’s fine, most of the descriptions make little to no sense anyway and don’t match with what you expect to happen in game, I doubt anyone will notice. ---

Not in a hotfix. If it ever comes it’ll be part of a major balancing or new content patch. ---

This is a change that will be fully introduced in a future update, so for now there will not be any effect in active gameplay. This seems like such a weird choice. Why not just change the description at the same time the trigger actually gets updated? Am I misunderstanding what this means? ---

Paradox only send tooltips to the company that does their localization a few time per year in specific months (and will literally delay a minor tweak if the tweak would make the tooltip “wrong”). I wonder if it’s like that with FS? Not denying that it is weird, because even then they could keep the new tooltip on ice until the trigger update is ready. ---

This is a change that will be fully introduced in a future update, so for now there will not be any effect in active gameplay. So you’re just lying to people. You have intentionally put in a misleading update. There is ABSOLUTELY ZERO REASON to change a weapon blessing description until you actually change it. There’s no reason to do this. You’re just lying to people with misleading information. This is a really backwards thing to do. No other developer would do this. Lie to their playerbase and add functionality later on. Good job. ---

Wouldn’t mind if they did something about or even acknowledged the crashes and dcs that ruin 50% of havoc 40 missions instead of spending another week probably not fixing this one specific loading screen crash. 200 employees btw. ---

just in case you’re being serious, no, this game does not need a roadmap. Fatshark have a really hard time to sticking to it. They seemingly learned since and stopped doing those, which was honestly for the better ---
