Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters | Update IV
Ave Imperator, Force Commanders.
A new update has been released by the Omnissiah to address a number of issues.
Corrupted saves in a Flowering mission
A fix has been added to resolve an issue where some players could experience corrupted saves during Flowering missions. We believe we have addressed this however if you do continue to experience these issues please let us know as soon as you can by reporting the issue on our Issue Tracker.
Balancing Changes We have adjusted some of the recent balancing changes based on player feedback. A summary of these changes is included below:
Psychic Shriek:
Changed from single targeting to area of effect.
Reduced the ability's area of effect from 3 to 1.
Destroyer of Crys’yllix:
Restored the original Force Strike stun values (+1 Stun base / +2 Stun upgrade).
The seed cost of upgrade changed from 6 to 4 Dolorus seeds for increased damage and from 4 to 6 Mortus seeds for stun increase.
Empyrean Brain Mine
Restored the stun values of tier 1 from 2 to 3.
Stun values of tier 2 and 3 have been boosted.
Thank you for your reports and feedback. We will continue to investigate all reports sent to us and review your suggestions.
Praise the Emperor.
Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters | Update III
Ave Imperator, Force Commanders,
Today we released a small update to address the following issues:
Fixed an issue where revealing Bloom Spreaders in the Spreading missions would not return control back to the player after enemy animations have concluded.
Fixed an issue where the game would crash after certain cutscenes during Spreading missions.
As a priority, we are currently investigating an issue in which some players are unable to load their save files after Update II. If verifying the integrity of your game files does not work, please submit a ticket into our support team at the bottom of this page: https://customersupport.frontier.co.uk/hc/en-us/articles/4687900468380
To aid our investigation, please provide as much detail on your save file as possible, including:
The in-game day number of your save file
The difficulty you are playing on
If this was an in-combat save
If so, the type of mission
We suspect these issues are related to the Flowering mission type, and will be investigating this in particular. In the meantime, we recommend saving outside of combat, especially when about to engage in this mission type.
Thank you for all of your feedback and reports so far.
Praise the Emperor.
Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters | Update II
Ave Imperator, Force Commanders,
Today's update has been deployed to address a number of bugs, performance issues and exploits which have been raised by helpful community members.
Twitch Drops Unlocked
Twitch Drop items will now be available for all players, regardless of whether they watched the livestreams or not.
Campaign Bug Fixes:
Corrected a number of in-game text and grammar mistakes.
Fixed an issue where players would be unable to perform any upgrades or repairs after the second mission.
Fixed a softlock where hidden UI during the Stratagem tutorial. could lock the game.
Grey Knight Fixes
Fixed an issue where Grey Knights could get stuck into a no action state after certain nearby obstacles were destroyed.
Fixed an issue where Grey Knights would be notified on an XP gain for limb dismemberment but received no XP.
Fixed an issue where Fortitude and Iron Will would interfere with each other, preventing the appropriate Willpower Point (WP) gain.
Weapon Fixes
Fixed an issue where the Incinerator’s primary fire did not trigger explosive batteries.
Fixed an issue with Flames of Purity so that it no longer targets Grey Knights or hits interactive objects.
Fixed an issue with the Incinerator and Psilencer where the firing arc was 0.
Fixed issue with Fury of the Ancients that prevented it from working as intended.
Fixed issue with Promethium Spray Arc that prevented it from working as intended
Performance Improvements:
Fixed an issue where the FPS would spike when units would make simultaneous movements.
Fixed a drop in performance in the tutorial when promoting a Grey Knight.
Fixed a drop in performance when numerous limbs and corpses littered the map. You can now continue to cut down heretics with gleeful abandon!
Improved performance when using the Incinerator firing template.
Improved performance when using the Scattershot firing template.
Fixed an issue in Fullscreen mode where the game would continue to draw on CPU/GPU resources.
UI
Changed the save game menu to highlight campaign saves versus standard manual/autosaves.
The Load Game menu will now automatically select whichever campaign was used last.
Feature Changes:
Removed the auto pause feature when alt-tabbing in Windowed and Windowed Fullscreen mode. The game will now continue to run when you leave the game screen.
Removed the heartbeat sound effect that played during the enemy turn. You will no longer hear the panicked heartbeats of enemies when you purge them of their heresy!
Balance Changes: We have made a number of balance changes to resolve a couple of exploits which affected the intended use of certain game mechanics. We are continuing to monitor feedback and performance to ensure that difficulty levels are tactically challenging but fair.
The Willpower (WP) bonus for killing units is now capped to +1 WP per Grey Knight attack to remove excessive Willpower surplus at higher difficulty levels. Grey Knights can still gain additional bonus WP from triggering Autos.
Reduced the Critical vulnerability values for enemies to reduce Critical strike chances from Grey Knight class builds that are not focused on increasing Critical strike chances. This will now provide more value to Grey Knights who have been designed to unleash more Critical strikes.
Rebalanced a number of weapon skills that, when combined with certain abilities, were providing too great a bonus over their intended use.
Fixed an issue where stun modifiers were not scaling correctly in Ruthless and Legendary difficulties.
Thank you to everyone who has raised their issues on our Issue Tracker. We will continue to monitor feedback and provide updates when we have more information. In the meantime, we are continuing to investigate some cases of performance issues, notably those with NVIDIA 3000 cards and potential improvements to the early game balancing and difficulty curve on Merciful and Standard settings.
Praise the Emperor.
Update on Twitch Drop Items
Ave Imperator Force Commanders,
We are pleased to see so many of you enjoying Warhammer 40000 Chaos Gate: Daemonhunters. Whilst we are pleased to see you enjoying the gameplay, we are also listening to your feedback.
One of the areas we have noted is the frustrations around the various Twitch drop campaigns we ran around the launch of the game. Whilst the sole objective of these campaigns was to drive awareness, we understand many feel this locked in-game items away from them.
This was certainly not our intention and we appreciate you sharing your thoughts on this. As such, we will make all items from every Twitch drop campaign available to players via one of our planned updates in May. We will confirm which update and exact date when this is finalised.
We hope this addresses your frustrations and you can continue to smite the forces of Chaos with these items in your Armoury.
Performance issues
Ave Imperator Force Commanders,
Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters is now live! We are enjoying watching you take the fight to the forces of Chaos, be that crushing cultists and heretics with Nemesis Force weapons or sending Plague Marines, unwise enough to be found on bridges to their doom, with a well-placed frag grenade.
We are aware that some Force Commanders have been experiencing performance issues, our QA and dev teams are hard at work investigating all the reports and we will have updates to help resolve these issues very soon.
We know it can be frustrating to encounter an issue and we want to ensure you have the best possible experience when banishing the foul abominations of Nurgle back to the Warp. If you run into a bug or performance issue please can you raise it by either visiting our Issue Tracker or by using the Report option in the game Settings menu.
We are reviewing all your reports and feedback so do please keep them coming. We look forward to sharing our updates with you soon!
Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters | Day 2 Update
Ava Imperator Force Commanders,
We are releasing an update for Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters on Steam to resolve the following issues:
Missing Cinematic
Some players are reporting a missing cinematic for the Post-Purgation Ritual. This has been fixed and the cinematic should play immediately after revealing the Warp Anomaly.
Final Reaper Battle
A pop up has been added so that if you have no viable Grey Knights to complete this quest the game will end, as you have no way to progress.
Castellan Champion Edition
Resolved an issue with Castellan Crowe where if you return him to Titan or your barracks are too full to accept him, you would repeatedly receive a pop up each day to add him to your roster.
Resolved an issue where some players could unlock Castellan Crowe without purchasing that edition. For players that have already unlocked Garran Crowe, he will remain live on that save game only. After that you will no longer have access to him.
Pre-Order bonuses
Resolved an issue of pre-order bonuses appearing on some accounts that did not pre-order. For players that have already unlocked this content it will remain live on that save game only. After that you will no longer have access.
Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters | Out Now!
In the grim darkness of the 41st Millennium a new monstrous threat looms over the galaxy. The champions of the plague god Nurgle have begun to spread a new contagion, The Bloom. This virulent plague that spreads Nurgle's influence across words and mutates planets into manifestations of his twisted image. It falls on you, the newly appointed Force Commander of the Grey Knights aboard the Baleful Edict Strike Cruiser, to take up arms and strike down the heresy before it spreads out of control.
Lead humanity’s greatest weapon, the Grey Knights, against the corrupting forces of Nurgle in this brutal and fast-paced turn-based tactical RPG. Out now!
SHAPE THE FATE OF THE GALAXY Upgrade your base of operations, build new facilities, conduct research into arcane mysteries and engage in combat missions across multiple worlds to purge the spread. The Bloom corrupts without prejudice; your choices will affect which planets succumb… and survive.
FORGE YOUR CHAMPIONS Command your own, personalised squad of Grey Knights; learn a range of diverse skills and psychic abilities, unlock powerful equipment and specialise your champions into four unique standard and advanced classes. Each of your warriors can be customised with voice, armour and facial options to make them your own.
PRECISION TARGETING Grey Knights are an elite chapter of Space Marines and are not in the business of making mistakes or missing their shots. The Precision Targeting system puts you in control of your tactical decisions, allowing you to plan your strategy with confidence, whether by taking shots from afar with sure-fire accuracy, or dismembering and dismantling a foe in brutal melee combat!
MUTATING MONSTROSITIES AND THEIR MINIONS As the Bloom corrupts worlds, environments will evolve and erupt with deadly hazards and minions, cultists and the infamous Death Guard Chaos Space Marines will mutate with pestilent boons and blessings, giving them new attacks and abilities. Adapt your tried and tested strategies to overcome unsurmountable odds against towering foes and their servants.
CINEMATIC SLAUGHTER Charge headlong into fast-paced tactical combat. Eviscerate and execute enemies up close in gory displays of prowess, or strike from afar with blessed bullets and powerful psychic energies. Use the dynamically destructible environment to your advantage by tearing down pillars or slamming vehicles into unsuspecting enemies.
FEATURING LEGENDARY ACTOR ANDY SERKIS Heed the call of Vardan Kai, a Grand Master of the Grey Knights and voiced by legendary BAFTA award winning actor Andy Serkis.
WRITTEN BY BLACK LIBRARY AUTHOR AARON DEMBSKI-BOWDEN
Armoured in faith, shielded by devotion, the Grey Knights’ very existence is rooted in mystery, enforced with mind-wipes and executions. Experience war in the 41st millennium and follow the journey of these elite warriors in a narrative penned by acclaimed Black Library author, Aaron Dembski-Bowden.
Upgrade to the Castellan Champion Edition to unlock the powerful Castellan Garran Crowe, a unique member of the Grey Knights with their own skills and equipment, including the legendary Black Blade of Antwyr. The Castellan Champion Edition also includes the Official Soundtrack composed by Warhammer music veteran Doyle W. Donehoo!
