General Fixes

• Fixed a rare crash that could occur in Havoc when spawning enemies.
• Fixed issues with subtitles displaying over menus.
• Fixed a bug that could cause multiple voicelines to play at the same time in the Mourningstar.
• Fixed an issue where the Veteran “Rangefinder Goggles” headgear cosmetics would cause a small patch of balding.
• Fixed some timing issues with the Plasma Gunner’s sound effects.
• Fixed an issue where Force Staves would fail to shoot the projectile that triggered the Perils of the Warp state.
• Fixed an issue where Veteran’s Infiltrate would not end when damaging an enemy in the first 0.5s of entering stealth.
• Fixed an issue where Psyker’s Soulblaze from Perilous Combustion and Venting Shriek could be applied to un-aggroed Daemonhosts, waking them up.
• Relic Blade – Fixed an issue where it was not always possible to immediately chain an attack after performing a Special activate/de-activate action while sprinting.
  • Dev note: thanks to players arkanian1210, aroth68 and CobaltNinja (among others) for bringing this to our attention!
• Fixed a crash caused by the visual effects of Rotten Armour enemies.
  • Dev note: we thought we had fixed the same crash in our previous hotfix, but it was only a partial fix. This should solve all occurrences of the issue.
• Fixed an issue where players could path upwards from specific nodes in the Veteran talent tree.

Previously, a big update was released which added quality of life improvements. Unfortunately, players are facing several problems when trying to play the game on the consoles. Today’s Warhammer 40,000 patch 1.9.3 will solve a few of these problems.
