Hotfix 6.0.1



Hey everyone,

We’ve adjusted our hotfixing plans slightly to prioritise the splash attack issues that have been present since the release of Update 6.0. We have just rolled out Hotfix 6.0.1, which addresses these issues:

  • Reverted various splash attack max target counts to match at least the minimum number of splash zones units have in metadata.

    Dev note: In 6.0.0 we made a change to the maximum number of targets a splash attack can hit based on a weapon strength ratio, this change was originally intended to apply to single entity units only and inadvertently was applied to monstrous infantry, cavalry and infantry units. This caused a series of issues with how our splash attacks are calculated, we have reverted the changes to these units while maintaining the single entity splash attack changes. After this hotfix you will see monstrous infantry, cavalry and infantry return to their pre-patch 6.0.0 state. There is a chance this may still affect some units, so please do keep reporting any issues you come across so we can investigate further.

  • Added missing text strings from a small number of tooltips.

    Dev note: Whilst we're aware of other issues present in the game at the moment, currently set to be addressed in a further Hotfix releasing later this week, we had the opportunity to include this one as part of today’s fix, and isn't representative of our current prioritisation of certain issues.


By implementing these necessary changes today, it has also rolled out some additional battle balancing adjustments that we’ve been working on. A full list of these changes will follow later today as an addition to our 6.0 Battle Balance Details thread, so please check back for the full details!

Although today's hotfix does not include any of the items originally disclosed in our known issues post, please rest assured that we will be back later this week with an additional hotfix to address those and more.

As always, thank you for your ongoing feedback and for your patience while we investigate and address these issues. If you encounter any new problems after updating to version 6.0.1, please let us know in our dedicated bug reporting sub-forum.

See you on the battlefield!

Total War Warhammer 3's Omens of Destruction DLC wants to get roleplaying right

New Total War Warhammer 3 DLC Omens of Destruction is out today, and it marks the conclusion of a rollercoaster year for Creative Assembly. The studio came into 2024 recoiling from negative feedback around the price and value of its Shadows of Change DLC. Since then, it's spent the year winning back player sentiment with free updates and its Thrones of Decay expansion. Now it's looking to continue that resurgence in Omens of Destruction, which delivers three paid legendary lords alongside a free one. Ahead of its release, I sat down with senior game director Rich Aldridge to ask how the team picks its next factions to update, and what lies ahead for the series.
