I have since reinstalled the game and I still have these issues. Very disappointing, to say the least. Am I supposed to resort to a VPN or getting entirely new internet? I think I will be playing different games until this issue, which affects many players it seems, is addressed.

Darktide currently doesn’t support IPv6 networks so a VPN can help a lot or it might not in the worst case.

I apologise I don’t have any immediate solutions for you, but I have shared this with one of our Backend Engineers who will be having a look in to this.

Perhaps related? Timing seems a bit too coincidental.

I’ve had the same issues with tons of error codes recently. Happened after one of the recent hotfixes.
