Stuck in mission loading screen 50% of the time

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Technical Support
1

Issue Type (Required):

Connectivity

Issue Description (Required):

50% of the time when I load in to a mission, the mission operator stops talking after one paragraph, also no other text appears after that one paragraph. Music continues, the loading icon keeps spinning… forever. I see myself sitting alone in the valkyrie everytime this happens. It happens when I queue solo and when I’m in a squad. The only solution is doing a Alt+F4 and hope I can reconnect.

No idea what triggers this. A mod? An internet setting? Server error? Hopefully someone can give me some pointers as to if I’m able to fix it.

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

Yes, but I haven’t tried disabling them

Reproduction Rate (Required):

Common (<50%)

Platform (Required):

PC - Steam

Sorry to hear that! Our general connectivity solutions may be of help, here:

Otherwise, if the issue persists, could you please provide a console log from a session you become stuck in the mission loading screen so we can take a look
(Please give it a short while on the loading screen itself before exiting out):

Thanks @LesserMagic

I’ve spoken with our developers and they informed me that there have been some recent desync issues occurring for hosts when joining missions or most commonly the hub (due to their being more players) which can result in long loading. We have some improvements and fixes coming for this in an update soon!

Though, they did mention that this doesn’t make sense in cases when you are stuck loading solo, as there would be no peer to fail to sync with. In theory, it may be possible to fail to sync with the mission server, but we’re not sure how likely this is. They asked if you play with any mods? as it’s possible a mod could be the culprit. If you can try disabling any mods and check to see if the issue persists that could help.

Otherwise, when our changes go live after the update, if any desync failures occur, then after 30 seconds the server should determine the issue and kick back to the hub. After which, rejoining should then hopefully be successful.
