Never-ending instability

Issue Description (Required):

I would like to start by saying these issues are not because of mods, it seems like that’s the go-to catch-all explanation for every issue, but it’s just not true. Whether modded or not Darktide ALWAYS has the same problems. Consistent disconnects, crashes, and latency. Is this because of the Amazon servers? The other major issues, which never seem to get addressed, are…

  1. Dogs/bursters not reacting to being pushed - This literally happens EVERY SINGLE MISSION. Sometimes when attempting to push a burster or a dog that is jumping at you the game will just not register your push and you will get pounced on/blown up anyway. It’s 100% unavoidable and such a horrible bug. I have over 2,000 hours in the game and this has been an issue the entire time.

  2. Audio-cue issues - This also has been a problem for as long as I have been playing. Silent bursters, trappers, etc. Quite frequently they don’t make a sound until it’s too late (the dogs already on you, net is being shot, etc.). Sometimes there is so much going on the game just abruptly cuts enemy audio altogether, and due to how jarring and awkward the sound cuts are it is without question a bug.

What is the reason why these issues never get resolved? With how much these issues have been reported over the years you certainly know of them. I love Darktide, but the never-ending instability is killing any motivation I have to even play it anymore.

CTD is at an all-time high for me. Two out of two rounds just recently, at least once each session I play.

Anyone else gets this? Do you know what this means?

I’m in Xbox and yeah it’s almost every game I get a crash and have to rejoin so it’s not mods. Also dodges are really inconsistent sometimes you dodge a net and then get sucked back to the spot you were and get netted. This game has been a mess since launch and they still haven’t gotten it to operate smoothly.

Thanks for the ‘acknowledgement’ on the post Darktide team. Receiving nothing more than basically a non-verbal “k.” is very helpful in understanding the root cause of the issues I am constantly dealing with in the game and is a great indicator that something is being done in the background to remedy the issues that haven’t been addressed for years. Your communication and transparency is truly appreciated.
