Issue Description (Required):
Today begins my campaign.
I have asked politely. I have asked firmly. Now all that’s left is being rude and repititive.
Fix NA West.
I paid for this game. American dollars. Real American dollars. I pay for superb internet. Ridiculously good internet. My work doesn’t even have internet as good as I do at home. I expect fantastic response from servers.
Instead I get un-reloadable weapons. Ice skating across a room. Dodging dogs and nets only to get got anyways. Quadruple weapon swapping back to the weapon I just tried to switch from. Peril guages that say 90% then suddenly 100% as soon as I click to do a normal light attack and exploding. Shogtuns that do zero damage, start to reload, then suddenly the ammo is all refilled.
NA West is absolutely unplayable. Your netcode sucks.
Please, karking fix NA West already.
I am going to start making almost daily threads if this doesn’t get fixed soon.

I’m gonna take this a step further:
I refuse to buy any cosmetics or Aquillas until NA West is fixed. I refuse to buy another fatshark game until NA West is fixed. I refuse to purchase any fatshark game as a gift for friend or family. I am not putting any further money fatshark, and in fact intend to be a drain on fatshark’s resources by reminding them here and on youtube and on X until they fix NA West.
This problem keeps getting worse and I am out of patience for the complete disregard for paying customers in this region.
And, as a reminder, I pay for the games and cosmetics for three people. In terms of money paid to fatshark, only whales beat me there. So count this as a loss of income from 3 customers, and anyone else I drive off with my incessant complaining about how bad this server is.

I have no problems on NA West except one day I was spiking to 240 ping. Are you sure it’s not your internet? Are you hard wired?
I definitely don’t have issues this consistent (on NA West). Weekends is normally when the servers are operating well-ish,
mid-week evenings seems to be the iffy bits where I get 2001 2014, 1001, 1014, 3001, but again, it’s not consistent.
Feels much better than after the ahem… feigned launch? False start? Extended Early Access?.. but that’s because the numbers are WAY down from release.

I’m on dualband fiber getting 6gbps, and live less than a mile from a trunk. I get 2ms ping to the local AWS datacenter.
Edit: I do have starlink failover for when both fiber lines go down (usually due to attack on fiber line) but darktide is absolutely nauseating on starlink, which is a known issue.

Just played a match with floating crushers and immortal groaners. Great time.

If we want to have a fun, responsive video game then server-side authority needs to go.
Having all player controls & actions be authorized through another connection is a terrible idea for a PvE game, this never should have been.
Do feel free to make daily threads about this, I know I don’t have the energy to do so but there’s oh so many clips out there and on my PC highlighting this dogass netcode.

Somebody should hit Fatshark with the “it’s a PvE game, who cares if people mod in plasteel”
Their whole grind-to-keep-people-hooked business model fell apart anyway, so it’s actually a real argument now.
