Warhammer 40,000: Darktide News

An Update on Itemization

The release of Secrets of the Machine God is just around the corner, and while we are excited to have you get your hands on it, we also suspect many of you might be expecting itemization to be part of this update. Unfortunately, this will not be the case.

After internal and external testing, we’ve decided the itemization rework isn’t where we want it to be for release this month. We’ve been reading your threads and taking the feedback on. The consensus being this rework should not be rushed. And we agree.

Now, itemization is slated to release after summer. We are making progress. During this time, we’re also looking at expanding the feedback loop on this rework, and will be including more players outside our core-testers.

To get more details, we are working on a dev blog on itemization to give you more insights into the work we’ve carried out so far.

We look forward to sharing more information about itemization and will keep working with the community to shape the upcoming itemization rework.

Dev note: The current intent is for any head gear that partially or fully covers the mouth and has some mechanism which would filter the voice (filters, speakers etc) to modulate the voice. For players who want to wear a particular headgear but do not want their voice modulated, this can be turned off in Options -> Audio -> Headgear Voice Effect.

Increased memory buffer to mitigate crash due to too many open files.
