KNOWN ISSUE: failed_handshake_timeout / Error Code: 4008

Issue Description:
The game won’t let me access the morningstar (and play) and gives me a 4008 error. It did it this morning and early this afternoon. According to others on the official discord server, this is an issue for several players who live in France and have Free as their internet service provider (such as myself). It happened after the latest update, “content drop - Tools of war” that came out today, I could play just fine only two days ago.

Crash Report (If Applicable):
No crash occurs.

Steps to Reproduce:
1 : boot the game
2 : can go as far as operative selection
3 : when I select a character, under 2 minutes I get sent back to the character selection menue with a 4008 “was unable to reach servers” issue

Platform:
Steam

I can confirm, i’m in the exact situation. Considering Free is one of the most used Internet provider in France, the number of players affected by this issue may be huge.

well, i got the same issue… I’m using Free in France.

same here, ISP is free too in France.

same issue - Error Code: 4008 on BT internet in UK any updates on fix for this FS? super hype to try the new content but can’t get past character select

I keep getting error 4008 after selecting my operative. I’ve tried turning my router on and off, same with my computer. I’ve checked file integrity as well, even reinstalled the game too. Nothing has worked so far, I still get error 4008. Do you have any ideas as to how I can solve this issue pls?
btw I’m not using any mod whatsoever.

Hi,
I had the error 4008 issue (France, Free).
Change DNS works for me, no more error 4008.
But really hope for a fix, i don’t want to have to change my DNS every time i want to play Darktide!
Can be acceptable for few days, but not for a long time.
Good luck and thanks for your work to find a fix.
:wink:

To our French players - we will be patching for this issue soon!

Had error 4008 after picking character selection. Can’t load and send back to character seletion with error 4008.

DNS change probably fix this, but i’m not confidend to do this

Thank you for answer.
And it’s ok, i just dowloaded the last little patch: All is ok.
Thank you ! :slight_smile:

Just tried to play and it worked without issue, many thanks to you guys for the quick reaction.
For other players knowledge i haven’t changed my ISP nor my Windows DNS for it to work again.

Hello
I still have the same issue I posted for on January 3rd, even though I downloaded today’s patch.
I am in France with Free too, and using my phone’s 5g (which is not a problem with any other game).
Here are my logs from today’s attempt :

Hope you’ll find a fix for my case too…

With Hope,

Hello, player from France, using Free 4G box here. Checking the dates between the hotfix post and FatSharkJulia’s reply, I conclude the fix hasn’t been deployed yet?
Because it doesn’t work right now
Thanks for caring for us cheese lovers!

And this keeps on going even more since last patch.

Starry night.
