Issue Type (Required):

Connectivity

Issue Description (Required):

  • Describe your issue, including the most common error code you receive (if any)
    Something like Connection to Fatshark Server is Slower than Normal in Operative Select
    Getting disconnected from the Main Hub and back to Operative Select
    delayed and slow connection in servers. basically server lag

  • Which platform are you playing on, and are you using a Cloud service (such as GeForce Now)?

Steam - PC

  • Which country are you playing from, and what’s the name of your internet service provider (ISP)?

from SEA. Philippines. Streamtech. local ISP here. No issues with general internet connectivity outside of the game

  • How are you connected to the internet (e.g. wired, Wi-Fi, using a booster, etc.)?

Wired. Ethernet direct to router / modem.

  • Is this a consistent issue, or does it occur during specific times (such as peak hours)?

Consistent Issue. Happened since 06/12/25 until now.

Solutions I’ve tried:

1. release, renew and Flush DNS
2. Change DNS to 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1
3. Verify Integrity of game files
4. Reinstall the game
5. play with disabled mods
6. restart Modem/router
7. somehow changing worker threads. 25-30. not working
8. Changing Servers (from least ping to higher ping - Hongkong to Asia Pacific North)

Server is slow. Enemies and players are teleporting. Attacks and animations are delayed. I had no issues like this for months until two days ago. Somehow it all starts lagging from there. cant play with my friends who I’ve recently gotten to play darktide with.

ANy fix for this? its been another 2 days and the slow Server Lag is STILL there. The game is basically unplayable.

@TrickyJebus In this case, the issues appears to pertain to the mod loader. Should the issues persist with mods disabled, please share a log with no mods to support our investigation. Thank you!

I’m still getting Error 2014 regularly, specifically in Havoc 40s after the in-game time goes beyond 35 minutes. After being disconnected, I try to reconnect and will get the same error 2-3 more times, completely unable to reconnect. This will almost with a 100% certainty happen to 3 out of 4 players simultaneously.

How is this possible? How can 3 people all get the same error at the same time, then all be unable to reconnect, individually? The answer lies in the game code or server code, not with mods or player settings. Additionally, these 2014 errors are happening to both Xbox and Steam players, so I’m not certain it’s specifically Gamepass that is uniquely worse.

Issue Description (Required):

All I get for explanation for kicking and failing to reconnect again is error code 2014. I can’t find any usefull fixes on internet for that. It’s not a regular inconvience but I frequently get this error when game decides I should suffer. I checked my internet connection and nothing wrong with.How can I fix it?

Steps to Reproduce (Required):

Just playing the game for me is enough to live that unbearable lag and kicking sometimes

I don’t understand why the focus is on mods. I mass DC with Xbox players – who can’t install mods – all the time on high Havoc games. Sigh.

I play like once a month to see there is still this 2014 error, reporting sometimes in this forum (i have many message in the old post from 2023 lol), today the game of the month before the update, let’s play just one game : just a malice difficulty, what could go wrong ? : boom ERROR 2014, at this rate this problem will celebrate his 2nd birthday, throwing many many T5/Malestrom & Havoc run for nothing cutting the fun. and NOTHING HAS SEEMS TO BE DONE !
i’m sure that this makes many players drop the game, i would play more often if i know that the server won’t drop a 2014 (and others 2001,2003…)
but no you are taking the Studio Wildcard direction : no bug fixing, even some beta have a better state and let’s ignore this until ppl think this is normal.

ANYWAY i will share once again a video of an error 2014 with my setup :

Issue type : F*cking 2014

Issue description : server desync and D/C : 2014 sometimes 2001, (just a reminder : you have to wait 15 seconds to disconnect and MOB CAN HIT YOU DURING THESE 15 SECONDS)

Platform : XBOX SERIES X

France, Bouygues, high speed stable when tested (multiple times) no issues with other online games

How am i connected to internet :
Wired

When ? + frequence :
once per game (sometimes twice) any difficulty, any circumstance

The video :

I was just getting error 4001 trying to load into my character when first opening the game today. It let me in after a few minutes.
I’m on PC, playing through Xbox Game Pass. Playing in the US. ISP is Charter Spectrum and I’m wired in. This is the first time I’ve seen this error.
I’m using mods but the error went away just sitting in the menu for a few minutes.

Leave them a review on Steam that’s what I did.
Might be the only way to get the point across.
I submitted a ticket a few months ago I never got a response.

EDIT 3: This has been fixed with Hotfix #69, thanks again team!

Hi there, i’m also experiencing 2014 crashes, except there are a few wrinkles to my issue.
Issue Type: 2014 Server Error

Description: Returned to lobby with a 2014 after volley fire is used, exclusively when playing with an Arbitrator. (The entire strike-team is sent back to the lobby.)

Steps to Reproduce:
Play with an Arbitrator (doesn’t need to be anyone specific; EDIT 2: They NEED to have a Cyber-Mastiff, if they are using the talent which removes it, this doesn’t occur.), and use the Volley Fire ability on veteran, everyone will be returned to lobby with a 2014
Specifics about Volley Fire: It has Executioner’s Stance & Enhanced Target Priority (the ability which shares the outlines to all teammates in coherency)
EDIT: Tested this without Enhanced Target Priority and the issue stopped immediately; I SUSPECT because the cyber-mastiff counts as ‘an ally in coherency’ it causes a server error

Mods Used: None, no mods.

Reproduction Rate: 100%

Platform: PC - Steam

Player ID:

  • Describe your issue, including the most common error code you receive (if any)

At mission complete, I get disconnected just about every other mission (mainly error 4001). I have missed out on so much progression, all of my classes could’ve been level 30 by now.

  • Which platform are you playing on, and are you using a Cloud service (such as GeForce Now)?

PC via steam

  • Which country are you playing from, and what’s the name of your internet service provider (ISP)?

USA Southwest with Cox Communications

  • How are you connected to the internet (e.g. wired, Wi-Fi, using a booster, etc.)?

Wired with the modem and router less than 10 feet away

  • Is this a consistent issue, or does it occur during specific times (such as peak hours)?

This is a very consistent problem that occurs only in Darktide. It occurs every single gaming session I’ve ever played with a frequency of about every other mission. Typically occurs while in a fire team but also solo matchmaking with randoms. Sometimes it occurs the very first mission I play. My tolerance for this issue is non-existent so usually I stop playing.

Additional questions for PC players:

  • If you’re using mods, have you tried disabling them to see if the issues persist?

I did not know there are mods for this game and have never installed any mods.
