Warhammer Vermintide 2 Update 5.1.0 Patch Notes: Improvements and Fixes

Warhammer Vermintide 2 Update 5.1.0 Patch Notes

IMPORTANT:

With the addition of DLSS, the game will cease to be compatible with Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. As Steam is going to cease supporting these operating systems in January, we’ve decided to go ahead with the implementation and cease support of these operating systems ahead of time. We’re sorry if there’s any fans we’re disappointing with this change.

KNOWN ISSUES:

We hope to have hotfixes that deal with these issues as soon as possible.

[All Platforms]

• Crash: Joining a match with a Necromancer using the ‘Lost Souls’ talent may crash the game.
• Crash: The French translation may crash the game. People who use the French translation should switch to another language temporarily until this issue is resolved.

[Xbox & PS4]

• Players may be missing progression and/or have their account reset with this patch. We have escalated this issue with our backend team and are working to roll out a fix as soon as possible! Your data/progression is safe, however, and not lost and will be restored once fixed. It is possible that if offline players try to play online, all offline progress will be lost. While this is unfortunate, please avoid playing offline mode for now. We’re hoping to have a patch out within 24 hours.
