I mainly play vermintide and i play it solo, i just like playing at my own pace.
I dropped darktide quickly when i learned solo is not an option.
So, is solo still a promise unfulfilled?
Has there been any news about it?

Only thing said was that itâs not a priority, quite a while ago, so forgot when theyâve said that

Oct '23 was the last âofficialâ correspondence, iirc. They just said, âitâs not a priorityâ followed by, âwhy do you even want solo mode?â as if they didnât say âitâs going to be in the game on release or shortly thereafterâ back in 2022 and also ignoring that solo private lobbies are a genre standard.
@FatsharkStrawHat, maybe you can give us a new update since every Fatshark community representative Iâve messaged about this refuses to respond.

Itâs one of the older entries in the Book of Grudges. Basically no, despite it being âalmost finishedâ in 2022.

The worst part is, they wonât even tell us âYeah, we scrapped it, sorry!â because there are a lot of people who would request a refund (I just did through their support page because Iâm sick of waiting). Itâs just shady as hell to me.
2022: âItâs almost done guys we promise!â
2023: âUmm, theyâre starting to notice itâs not in the game yet, what should I tell them? âItâs not a priorityâ? Are you sure? OK, if you say soâŚâ
2024: âradio silenceâ

I was able to get my refund even after ~40 hours.

Very much hoping solo mode comes very very soon.

Exactly what i want to avoid and why I want solo play.
Sometimes I want to stroll around looking at the beautiful map
And sometimes i just want to run ahead and kill anything i see because iâm using the game as a stress ball, like i did with vermintide.
Neither of these are really an option with online only
And I still want to get progress so while modding at least itâs there itâs a bandaid sadly

YES PLEASE
There are so many reasons to just not limit private games to requiring a party of at least two players. In fact itâs not even that solo mode isnât âfinished,â I played a solo game once. Started a mission, and then somehow I assume something bugged and nobody joined. Me and three bots for the whole thing. It was magical.
Of course, itâd be nice if the bots werenât awful, but even three crappy bots is preferable to some people, especially people with social anxiety. And awful bots is an easy problem to at least slap a bandage on until something more substantive can be done. Like Iâve suggested in other threads about bots, they should just have infinite health. 100% damage reduction and 100% corruption resistance.
They would then be able to reliably distract enemies from you, and they wouldnât eat all the medicae, but they would still be unable to steal the thunder from human players, because they still wouldnât complete objectives, would still suck at dealing with specials, especially snipers, could still be incapacitated by disablers or tossed off cliffs, would still only follow the player around, would still be kind of unreliable at reviving, would still have no useful abilities and never use their grenades, and their damage output would still be mediocre. They also wouldnât serve as infinite revives for the player because the player would still be beholden to the wound system.
But best of all, not that I know how to code at all, but I would imagine that just giving bots 100% damage reduction could be programmed in like fifteen minutes.

Tbh solo is playable. There is a method on xbox to get a solo lobby every time assuming you have a 2nd xbox handy (i use my wifeâs when she is not) its not great but it beats playing with randoms and i do just fine.
Literally the ONLY thing keeping people from being able to play solo is the 2 player requirementâŚliterally nothing else.
The bots arent amazing but they do their job more or lessâŚmost of the time and to be honest i 1000% prefer that over getting randoms involved.

Sadly I donât have an xbox, much less 2
so that wonât be an option, but nice workaround for those who can do it
I suppose the PC option is to mod? I dont know anything about it but i know there are many here that do. It may be usefull to ask around?

I assume youâre using 2 accounts and just running private matches?
If so, someone could do the same with 2 GeForce Now accounts. Or one PC account and one GeForce Now account.
Or, if on PC with mods, Many More Try offers all the normal progression/xp/materials and doesnât require a second account.
