Tonight is a big night for Vermintide as it becomes available on Xbox One's Games With Gold programme!
This week, in preparation for a tide of new players, we have prepared as best we can our infrastructure and required systems for these players as they jump on board.
That said, we'd like to bring attention to the possibility that there could be some hiccups as players look to login to the game en mass, so whilst we hope everything will go smoothly, there's a chance - however small - that these hiccups might impact games played on all platforms, Steam included.
Should issues arise, do keep an eye on our forums for updates or news from us regarding those, and as ever - we thank you for your patience.
==== UPDATE 01 DEC 2018 @ 23:05 CET ====
We're aware of the current inability for some users to log in. As noted above, we have put in place measures to reduce the impact a whole host of new players would have on our login servers, and seemingly the tide of players is overwhelming things a little right now.
We're doing all we can to rectify this and return you to your next episode of rat-smashing.
==== UPDATE 02 DEC 2018 @ 00:15 CET ====
Work continues to return life to the backbone of Vermintide. Due to the sheer volume of new player accounts being created, we have had to enter a phase of emergency maintenance and bring the game offline whilst we perform surgery.
We will do all we can through the night, and will return early tomorrow with the latest updates. (work continues, but your messenger must sleep!)
Our sincerest apologies for the downtime.
