I did some testing and psyker brainburst sidegrade (kinetic flayer) when it hit crinal corrupted ogryn makes game abort when he got less then 50% hp

3

We had this happen with a psyker who had assail. It was also cranial/final toll.

4

Same issue happening here.

5

We had this crash 4 times in a row on Hab Dreyko cranial final toll Havoc 40.

6

I almost want to leave a negative review, I’m sick of all the server issues in this game.

I think I figured out a little more what’s happening with the bug. It’s not specifically brain burst, it’s any time a cranial gets 1 shot, or dies before the final toll threshold. People are saying it’s brain burst because it procs easily and is basically a one shot on any mob that has a cranial head.

I also manage to abort mission with zealot throwing knife.

Can confirm. ALL Havoc maps with Cranial+Final Toll result in games being aborted/crashes/disconnects with mission cancel.

Rectally F A T S H A R K E D in 4K.

It is unfathomable to me that this keeps occurring.

Does this damned company not have ANY sort of QA, QC, testing or anything?

No other game I have ever played in almost 30 years of online gaming has been this consistently busted. Latency, connectivity, performance, responsiveness, disconnects, recurring ability and graphical bugs.

I’m getting so forking tired of the non-stop bs with this game. I’ve said it before, I can’t get my friends to play this shirt.

Aside from the other Swedish superhit on the same engine…
hmm…

So we can’t just blame Psykers? I’m still gonna find a way.

Logged in. Havoc is Final Toll + Cranial. No other Havocs in the party finder being hosted at my Havoc level. Logged off.

The one mode with a punishment for failing and we have had 3 different rotations with a server crash baked in. Rotten armor crashing across multiple hotfixes, psyker ritual crash, and this. There’s probably one I’m forgetting too.

16

I was so stoked to find more melee-friendly games, that is without rotten and blight. We finally get it and servers crash so now I can’t play.

Why aren’t they taking servers down to remove the bugged modifier and set another up in the mean time? Nah fork that let’s just let the crashing nonsense run.

17

they removed red from rotation if you reroll your havoc mission

They didn’t. Half the missions in Havoc mission finder has either cranial or final toll, or both.

last year they had vigil station bugged to crash when lingering too long in the middle court part, seems they “broadened “ the experience with a new havoc modifier no one beats.

when one stuff is pushing its last cylinders, fix it by upping up the pressure I guess :man_shrugging:

20

Has this been acknowledged or whatever yet?

21

it was acknowledged and to my best knowledge fixed, took em a while though.

but I had a post about it with footage last year.

doing its “thing” even in auric maelstrom the way it did, guess some part of it snuck into havoc stressing the servers additionally
