I do, I have one! Me again, so, when are we getting official confirmation on the ability to launch a private match with only one player? I seem to remember that being something that was promised on release or in a patch shortly after. But it’s been almost 2 years and it’s still not in the game. So who’s the dev that’s working on this promised feature and can give us a Dev Blog? Or is it that no one is working on it and Fatshark won’t confirm it for some reason? You could shut me up right now with a single announcement post saying “we lied, solo mode will never be implemented, we’re not working on it and won’t be working on it.”

Edit: in case you’re curious what an official announcement looks like:

> [@Community Update #1: Pre-Order Beta Hotfix 1.0.6](https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/community-update-1-pre-order-beta-hotfix-1-0-6/56182/1):

> Now we are confident in our Dedicated Servers, we would like to take the time and answer those recurring couple of questions that remain; “Can I play Darktide solo?”, “Can I play a private game with one or two of my friends?”.
> 
> _The answers will be Yes, and Yes._
> 
> We’ve been working on an option to play exclusively in Solo Mode, where you will be hosting locally your own instance with bots. Because you will be hosting the AI and other game systems locally, this will increase performance cost. However, we continue to monitor and improve the performance where we can. Solo play is in its final stages of testing as we fix the last issues that remain. We aim to release this at Launch. If not, a patch shortly after that in December.
