Any chance the devs will switch back to the more stable option for connecting like in vermintide instead of the 5 dollar dedicated servers they use here? or will the game stay unplayable with constant disconnects with error 2014, 2001, and 3013 before the first enemies show up?

[DancesWithDoggos]

Isn't that more unstable, though, since it depends on the player's internet speed / quality and hardware? I actually got disconnected in Vermintide 2 more often than Darktide unless I was the host.
I actually rarely get disconnected in Darktide, but I still don't like the whole live service thing since I don't want to not be able to play the game just because they decide to stop supporting in and shut the game servers off.

i have +150hs and counting and barely once or twice i got disconnected. Much better experience than vermintide's II conection

You can blame all the people in V2 that were hosting from the moon for these servers. Quickplay was pretty rough half the time.

Not if the dedicated server is under heavy traffic. Remember the horrible lags and desyncs right after launch?

[Oktakon]

the answers no sry, the ceo of fatshark told me last night in the spa with his tencent bf, they said no how dare you, our game is perfect way it is, get out of the spa you naughty boy and never come back, * towel whips my ass away*

P2P stability is dependent on the host, with any issues or lag being based on their connection. On paper, dedicated servers are better as they perform more consistently than a randoms internet. FS decided on using dedicated servers to avoid the host leaving and the game ending prematurely like in VT2 as well as inconsistent ping, but with the added consequence that offline play is not a thing and any connection issue encountered can't be fixed by joining a different lobby.
My personal issue is that lately i can't stay connected to any server i join, enemies start sliding, floating, and then dying after a minute of standing still, before being kicked back to character select with an error. I almost never played without a 4 man and have to rely on Fatshark servers instead of a friend's ISP which performs better, with no offline play and connecting directly to friends not possible, the game becomes LITERALLY unplayable as i cant connect to FS servers which are the ONLY option.

Im happy that your experience is better than mine but have to say my VT2 experience was much better than Darktide simply because it was playable.

And now I can blame Fatshark directly.

you have a point which is the servers are Crap, to a some extent i was crashing every 10 matches or so. but i haven't had a crush since about the Auric Update. and to be fair most of my crashs are from me trying to do stuff with the geometry of the game, like vaulting over and ontop of chains and roof tops using the barrals the game doesn't like it very much. b ut still it better then v2 in terms of the map exist and while yes you can be thrown out of it, you can't fall though it like in v2. on the other hand the severs are fairly stable 95% of the time. and IDK if your running mods but alot my friend who play this game who play with mods experience these Crash error a lot more frequently. due to things like Texture failures, UI Glitchs and connection error as they failed to load into the missions. from my understand 2001 and 2014 are Graphical generation errors from the sever. (but i could be corrected)

Solutions i have come up with the seemingly have worked i reduce resoultion and Graphic settings to something slightly below recommanded. turn on Vsync and Navdia Boosting. and it should fix also updating Graphic cards.

VT1: everyone mad because P2P sucks. demand dedicated servers the whole time.
VT2: everyone mad because P2P sucks. demand dedicated servers the whole time.
DT: everyone experiences fatshark quality dedicated servers, realizes they shoulda shut the hell up.

[wano.]

P2P in vt2 was god awful. I'd rather take fartsharks ♥♥♥♥ servers.

[SNAAAKE]

p2p is why vermintide sucks. You just want 0 ping for host advantage.

[box]

P2P sucks in VT host had massive advantage and the delays (for everyone else) were atrocious. Perhaps get better internet or play around with different servers? Or maybe you just have sh!t internet.

DT is a massive improvement over VT in that regard.

[Licher.Rus]

p2p suxx
Host has perfect (zero) ping, other 3 could suffer a lot, because host limited his bandwidth output, or just live too far, or his ISP sux, or his PC sux, etc
Host left - all progress lost, start the map again, even if you were in the one step from the finish line (no joke, I've seen that!)
etc

So don't even think to ask this crap here
