Has happened every time i’ve attempted to join. Haven’t played a single game due to it. It’ll be pretty disgusting if they just ignore the issue because it’s less common than the other crashes. I mean, as far as I can tell, while not as common as backend or internal errors, this seems more game-breaking at least.
Some get booted from the Hub, some can make it partway through a game and I’ve experienced it upon joining missions. Wherever I’ve seen this complaint, it’s “we’re looking into it” but guys…I gotta say, I’ve gotta a hunch that they’re NOT really looking into it. I’ve seen the issue reported on a ton and on top of unsatisfactory responses and a still nonexistent_solution, they’re giving us poor traumatized victims HOMEWORK to do about the crash? They’re making the victims of this violence, essentially the exact same level of struggle as refugees, do a book report on this collectively manifested nightmare! I expected free money for enduring these consistent crashes with poise, dignity and grace after being so excited. I BARELY cried and only had to call my parents for a few hours before I stopped hyperventilating and throwing up. But I’m a strong 29yo man, I’ll need at MOST just one more therapy session a day for the next year to overcome the nightmares of Darktide crashing that’ve prevented me from sleeping this week. But CHILDREN play this game…fresh faced, wide eyed boys in their early 20s…barely out of their Mother’s womb…being BLINDSIDED by this sort of malicious evil. The sort of thing that’ll make a child of 22 question the kind of world he was born into. It’s easy to forgive a lot of these global snaffus that the news reports on (Israel Palestine, Russia/China’s silly little mischief, global disease/poverty)…but HOW can you expect a mere babe of 24, barely off the matriarchal milk, to reconcile ideas of “goodness” and “justice” with something as abhorrent and scarring as the nonexistent_channel catastrophe of 2022?
With that other stuff on the news, while SUPER not chill for those people…it’s not happening to us. And so as long as we go on social media and post whatever the hero opinion is for any given issue, we’re all basically first responders and don’t ever have to think about it again. So how can irreproachable veteran firefighter heroes like us be so cruelly treated by the hands of fate in a just world? Where is fairness when NONE of those people all over the globe we selflessly helped by posting have sent us new computers to try or AT LEAST some free money? Nay, I say! THIS is my stupid homework book report about this crash!
I know this may have seemed pointless BUT, if this “FAT SHARK” (mean name btw…way to hurt endangered species feelings! Don’t you think we’ve done enough to nature?) has anything resembling a moral code in those folds, they’ll read my heart wrenching account of the devastation this nonexistent_channel has wrought on the most innocent people on this earth with TEARS streaming down their face. After that, they’ll give the order to have their teams build this channel we need to survive…which is what I can only imagine it means.
If there is any humanity left in this shark, we should all be receiving our existing channels in the mail within the week. I guarantee it, straight from the fish’s gill. And I wouldn’t be surprised if, given the season, Mr. Overweight Shark throws in a hundred dollar steam gift card to each of us for enduring this torment so nobly and with nary a complaint (not counting the stuff we post online, ofc). So get excited people, I think the shark is gonna do the right thing 
I 100% guarantee it and so do they.
