it just happens twice in 1 game .
here’s entire game.
1st is on 10 min mark .
2nd at the end.
I just bought a powerline adapter to test if this would fix the issue, but it has made no difference. So the problem persists on wifi, wifi extender and wired through powerline adapter, all on fiber net, I still get errors on almost all maps I play as soon as the map ends.
Hi all, we appreciate all the reports you’ve sent in, and we wanted to share an update on what we’re working on:
- We’re looking in to whether higher difficulties, like Havoc, are more prone to disconnects, as these settings can send more data due to the increased number of enemies and activity.
- We have updates in the works that will add more detailed logging when disconnects happen, helping us better understand what’s causing them. We’re aiming to include these changes in upcoming updates (1.8.5 or 1.8.6) depending on final testing and confirmation.
- We’re also working on two additional improvements: one to reduce the size of certain network packets, and another fix addressing disconnects when returning to the hub after a mission. Both changes require further internal testing to ensure stability before release.
We’ll let you know as soon as any of the changes mentioned above are live. Thank you for your patience as we continue to look in to this.

This sounds promising 
please keep up the good progress!
Hello,
I’ve noticed I get bounced out with error 2014 whenever start Discord and join a voice lobby. I can immediately connect back into the game.

Loaded up the game. Selected Character. Onboard mourningstar and sent back to character select with “error code: 2014”. Tried to hard quit the game and restart it, only to get into a game that didn’t crash but was completely out of sync with my inputs. This happens a lot as well as the error codes and disconnects, where like 1/5 inputs either don’t register or look like they do but don’t. Was really looking forward to a darktide session this evening but the bigfish doesn’t allow it.

I play on Steam, PC and Windows 11 64x
- i5-8400 (overclock stable ~2.8-3.2 GHz)
- 16 GB RAM
- 1TB NVMe Flash Memory
- NVIDIA GTX 1060 6GB

I do not use mods but I run ReShade for a single centered magnifying glass effect. I have poor eyesight and this helps with visual tracking.
My ethernet connection is 1,000 Mbps (Spectrum) but we all know that varies. I have been getting substandard upload/download (<100 Mbps) and can check the router at some point. The router is not mine. My average download is ~300 Mbps and average upload is ~15 Mbps.
I do not generally have issues with internet speed or connectivity. If I do they are less common and isolated to certain days and times. I do believe Spectrum throttles connection speed occasionally.
I disconnect from most of the matches I play at least once. If I play at all in a day–no matter the time–it is guaranteed that I will disconnect at some point. I get all of the different error codes. Even when logging in I can immediately be disconnected with one of the possible error codes. I am more likely to be disconnected during intense action (rubber-banding and floating). I usually play on Heresy. I have not had this issue prior.
I am recently returning.

Please take a moment to answer the questions below :
During gameplay in the most crowdy moments: enemies starts flying, everything is lagging (delay in registering kills and actions). Often associated with a FPS drop (especially in one of my 2 computers). Most common errors are n.: 2001 2014. In this case 2001.
Steam on PC;
Italy, ISP is NUOVARETI (wifi radio service)
I’m connected through home wi-fi and antenna on my house roof to the ISP. Connecting directly tyhrough cable doesn’s change anything, nothing changes when using a difference connection (example: smartphone hotspot with a different provider).
NOTHING CHANGES USING A VPN!
The issue is common, EDIT: it is worse in peak hours (evening). BUT: I don’t think it is a connection issue players’side since it happens after certain patches. Has already been solved for us with other patches in the last few months…and now is back again! No variation on our private connection has happened ever. The only things that changed were your patches. In the past I apparently fixed uninstalling and reinstalling, the miracle doesn’t work again now.
Additional questions for PC players :
No mods, ever.

Describe your issue, including the most common error code you receive (if any)
Upon startup, I can get past logos and the opening cutscene where Shipmistress Brauhms narrates, but when I press Spacebar to login, the game kicks up an error that simply states “Backend Error: Error Signing In” and I can’t get past the menu for that, requiring me to either ALT+F4 or Task Manager to shut down the application and seek a solution.
Which platform are you playing on, and are you using a Cloud service (such as GeForce Now)?
I’m playing on Steam, using WIndows 10 64-bit. I do not use Cloud services outside of Steam’s.
Which country are you playing from, and what’s the name of your internet service provider (ISP)?
I play in the United States of America, and my ISP is AT&T.
How are you connected to the internet (e.g. wired, Wi-Fi, using a booster, etc.)?
I’m connected via a USB Wi-Fi dongle.
Is this a consistent issue, or does it occur during specific times (such as peak hours)?
This issue seems fairly consistent. It’s 4am in my timezone (Central Standard Time).

I must point out that your team’s assessment of Error Code: 2014 is incorrect. I can confirm that special event maps with the Toxic Gas modifier are completely non-functional—they invariably crash upon loading. I just encountered this issue again with the same error described in my earlier support ticket this morning.
Please review the attached files and screenshots (translation software may be required). I can definitively state that the Toxic Gas modifier in event missions is directly linked to Error Code: 2014, as this error only occurs when entering maps with this modifier (alongside the previously fixed “Vent Purification” maps).
After multiple test attempts—including with all mods disabled—the game consistently crashed during the post-cutscene loading phase (see attached screenshots).
My hypothesis:
The event-specific toxic effect and the map’s native toxic gas mechanic have fundamentally conflicting:
-
Different durations
-
Different damage values
-
Different corruption effects
This severe incompatibility likely causes the game to crash.
lease take a moment to answer the questions below:
-
Describe your issue, including the most common error code you receive (if any)
-
Backend error: signing in

If you’re using mods, have you tried disabling them to see if the issues persist?
- This is important, as we’ve seen an increase in mods causing connectivity-related issues
