We have just patched the pre-order beta for Vermintide 2 with some fixes, tweaks and a couple of new additions, including the prologue!

Note, all players who log in after this patch will be faced with the prologue by default.

Known Issues

• Custom Keybinds can halt the tutorial/prologue (reset these by deleting “save_data.sav” in ‘C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Roaming\Fatshark\Vermintide 2’)

Now on to the notes! The changes for the latest patch are as follows:

• ADDED: 'Warcamp' mission

• Fix for some cases of being invincible due to health mismatch between host and client
  
• Fixed controller cursor positioning error
  
• Fixed crash caused when a player jumps off a cliff in the inn while the local player is exiting the game

• Fixed various crashes

We have made various further adjustments to Recruit difficulty in order to be more forgiving to players new to the game.

Balance

• Increased the height before a player takes fall damage from 5 - 7
  
• Horde timings: start hordes earlier, longer between hordes.
  
• Increase sniper range dropoff
  
• Minor Lifeleech attack distance tweaks
  
• Nerfed grenades against bosses
  
• Troll health regen lowered for recruit by 20% (Recruit only)
  
• Truflight: should keep target while aiming away from painted target and fire faster.
  
• Vomit-in-face debuff duration down from 7 to 5 seconds
  
• 'Recruit' involves less elites in general and more restrictive AI director checks to avoid insane difficulty spikes.
  
• Vomit/Vortex slowdown nerfed (set to 0.75 speed multiplier)

Stability

• Fix for UI fatigue crash
  
• Fixed a client crash for Zealot caused by invulnerability
  
• Fixed various other crashes

Fixes

• Clients should now properly display Zealot Invulnerability
  
• Fixed flamethrowers stuttering after finished charged shot
  
• Fixed a bug where players were considered inside an end zone forever if they were standing in it when it got deactivated.
  
• Fixed the timing and position of the charged fireball
  
• Fixed trait related crash when removing overheat on crit
  
• Made sure we discard lobbies that are playing levels the player have not unlocked
  
• Reduced the max amount of stamina awarded from properties from 2-4 to 1-2 to prevent crashes
  
• Removed camera movement on certain weapon aiming animation

UI/UX

• added an option to allow occupied hero lobbies
