Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Bugs
1

Issue Type (Required):

Player Mechanics

Issue Description (Required):

Psyker can keep casting at 100% peril forever except with Inferno staff and Surge staff charged attack. Other staff attacks, weapon specials and force sword push attacks do not cause you to overload

Steps to Reproduce (Required):

  1. Play the game and attempt to overload

[PC] Do You Use Mods? (Optional):

Yes, but I haven’t tried disabling them

Reproduction Rate (Required):

Constant (100%)

Platform (Required):

PC - Steam

The new overheat debugging code that was added is also spamming your log file with a lot of debug info every time you attack at 100% peril, possibly causing stuttering on some systems. But obviously that will be resolved once the root cause is addressed.

I just overloaded with the flame staff’s primary attack today.

4

Have tested it with Voidblast staff, can’t overload both with its primary and secondary too. I think it’s the very last patch that caused it, because I played the game a few days ago with this character, and were overloading just fine :smiley:

5

It keeps happening

6

i just came to post the same bug report, you beat me to it! enjoy the bug while it lasts. haha

Plasma Gun on Vet doesn’t overload either right now, you can keep firing charged shots, uncharged shots will still do the small cooldown of heat before firing again.

Hey all, we’re on the case!
