Warhammer 40K: Darktide 1.0.23 Update Patch Notes

We just released 1.0.23 to fix a couple of issues found in yesterday’s patch. We also just wanted to address some questions that have arisen regarding the EULA.

EULA

Today you may find yourselves being faced with the EULA once more when launching Darktide. The content of the EULA remains the same as the EULA previously presented at launch, however, we made improvements to the formatting to make it easier to read, and corrected the out-of-date page title which erroneously referenced the pre-release test period. Apologies for the confusion.

Now onto the Hotfix notes!

Here are the Hotfix Notes:

Fixed an issue that caused the suppression screen effects to conflict with the Psyker’s when at high peril
Tweaked the suppression effect to be less intrusive. This should be most noticeable when playing on higher difficulties where you are often suppressed for long periods of time.

If you missed the previous update, which was released yesterday, you can check out its patch notes below:
