Second this, if I have to get 40 again just to be accepted into parties attempting the True Survivor penance I’m gonna be saltier than a mine.

Broken in Europe - but there are some who can play apparently.
Restarted game twice. Verified files. Nothing works.

It doesn’t seem like it matter if you were playing or not during the reset as I played once last week after reset and haven’t played since, was going to get my weekly reward today and do one havoc mission, but I can’t.

For anyone who missed it a few hours ago, an update on Discord/Twitter:

We have identified an ongoing issue preventing players from playing Havoc missions. Our teams are currently investigating a solution. Players will not be able to play Havoc until further notice.

This is ridiculous. It always has been. I get my information from a dude (thanks to him) on the forum in the bug comments section, not in an official post. And he says that the developers said something in discord. Wow, I’m just amazed, as always.

Yea, they should post it here too, but there are 36k people on the Discord and all of 100 here, so with most staff out on holidays I assume they didn’t think it was a huge priority.

Why did you have to create this forum then? Oh, who cares? Let them have fun on their holidays… We’ll be out of the game for a while.

Forum is for bug reports, general old school-style discussion, patch notes.

Service alerts have always been on Twitter (and reposted automatically by a bot/integration in Discord). We’re 2 years in at this point; it’s just how they do it.

IDK, maybe there’s more to it and I’m tired and hungry, but it seems the time stamps being returned are expired and status set inactive from the Havoc back end web service calls?

So it can be “fixed”…

What I’m curious about is why the melk contracts don’t have the same issue. Couldn’t they have essentially copypasted all that? It’s the same weekly rotation isn’t it?

So you’d think but I guess not…

Well Havoc is back up now, sure enough the missing 2025W01 back-end entry was added (my time zone):

Issue Type (Required):

Mission Terminal

Issue Description (Required):

The Havoc’s lobby, where players search for matches, is not functioning properly. It continuously flickers and does not stop, making it impossible to use. This issue occurred right after finishing a Havoc match, that we lost. I will attach a video to demonstrate the problem. The other problem is that we are two players in the video, and as you can see it says that I can’t launch a game.
I can’t play Havoc missions anymore, so it’s rather critical.

Steps to Reproduce (Required):

Finish a Havoc game ?

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

No, I don’t use mods

Reproduction Rate (Required):

Constant

Platform (Required):

PC - Steam

Upload Supporting Evidence (Optional):

I signed up to these forums only because out of thousands of bugs and issues over the years, this is the first game breaking bug where i cant play what i want in Darktide. This needs to fixed immediately, or after 3k hours of Darktide, maybe its time for me to move onto another game permanently.

Yep, this has rendered Havoc unplayble (quite literally, you can not start a mission). Was thinking of trying to knock out some of the penances tonight but guess not, any attempts to start or join a strike team results in ‘player is uneligable’ with a constant flashing strobe effect. Mission can not be started, party disbands.

And I think everyone’s having this issue given the havoc board is basically empty, and the few that pop up result in the leader leaving the strike team without starting it. This is a wide spread, likely full back end issue.

I believe this occurred since reset, as I just got on to collect my rewards and play, did the reward collecting, they took a bit to get into my inventory, and it’s been flashing ever since/I haven’t yet been able to play a Havoc today.

I am having this issue as well on Xbox X. Started after I had to unexpectedly leave a Havoc lobby prior to mission starting. Got the message I could not start a new one until current mission finished. Tried to do another Havoc mission after a couple hours and started the flickering. Even when I manage to get a group together it says I don’t have the ability to play, even though I was level 9. It’s also showing I’m an 8 now after the flickering started.
