Warband!
Patch 1.11.2 is now being rolled out on all platforms, and while you wait for it to download you can read the notes below!
This patch adds some small quality of life changes to Expeditions and fixes several bugs, unintended effects and crashes.
Features & Tweaks
- Added sound effects for the Expeditions Auspex marker.
- This should make it more noticeable when a teammate marks a point of interest during an Expeditions run!
- Made it easier to perform some of the jumps necessary to complete certain Sites of Interest when carrying a battery.
- Ranged enemies will now have a much harder time hitting players that are disabled by a sand vortex.
General Fixes
- Fixed the issue related to AMD’s FSR 3.1 frame generation.
- Fixed an issue where the Veteran talent “Field Improvisation” awarded Blitz charges when obtaining ammo in a Deadsider Sanctuary.
- Sand vortex visual effects are now synced up for hotjoining players, preventing issues with “invisible tornados”.
- Dead players are no longer counted for the exit & extraction event zone half team requirement.
- Meaning, if the rest of the team is dead, you can now do these events on your own
- The Data Harvester penances should now count Data Reliquaries retrieved by your team-mates as well, as intended.
- Fixed an issue where Psyker’s ‘Malefic Momentum’ talent only had its duration increase for the Warp Damage.
- Fixed an issue where the Plasma Gun primary fire base Cleave was lower than intended.
- The effective Cleave value should be slightly above 18.
- Fixed a rare crash occurring on the Mourningstar when interacting with a Cyber-Mastiff.
- Fixed an issue where the Ogryn’s ‘Steady Grip’ talent did not replenish Toughness while shooting.
- Fixed an issue where the Ogryn’s ‘Big Friendly Rock’ no longer always killed Corruptor Eyes in one hit.

- Fixed a mismatch between Expedition grid node names and their associated greek letter symbols.
- Fixed an issue where some items in Expeditions missions were unreachable.
- Fixed several navigation issues in Expeditions missions.
- Ensured the same mission name is shown across the in-mission Tactical Overlay view, the mission invite popup, and the ready-up screen.
- Fixed wrong node icon shown in post-mission screen.
- [PC Only] The game now shows an error popup when engine components fail to load, in order to help diagnose issues.

- Polished some explosions and fixed up visual errors with Valkyrie barrel run.
- Fixed a crash that when a player notification for dropped Tech-Remnants triggered when the player’s name was no longer accessible.

Cosmetic Fixes
- Fixed an issue where the Frame reward from the Pro-Trader (3) penance was using the wrong visuals.

- Fixed an issue where Cyber-Mastiffs would not show up during the ready-up screen.
- Vostroyan Chain Hood with Psykana Collar - Fixed black texture spot in the back.
Known Issues
- When doing an Expeditions Auspex Puzzle, players can lose access to their Auspex if they cancel the minigame by swapping weapons. Players can recover their Auspex by attempting the minigame again and cancelling normally.
- Note: If another player completes the minigame before you recover your Auspex, you will lose access to your Auspex for the remainder of the Expedition, which will hinder navigation and will make it impossible to perform Auspex Puzzles.
- When hot-joining an expedition, players might enter the mission as dead if it happened while the existing players were leaving a Sanctuary.
- Rarely, when hot-joining an Expedition, the entire team might disconnect from the mission.
- Some texture anomaly can occur when hot-joining an Expedition while players are in a Sanctuary. Fixed!
- The Expeditions grid map names don’t match with the Greek symbol associated with them. Fixed!
- Players can use some of the new grenades while inside a Sanctuary. Please be nice to the locals.
- Some of the new items found in Sanctuaries can’t be tagged.
- Some breakable walls in Expeditions can be walked through even without breaking them.
- Some textures can bug out when playing on AMD GPUs.
- When disconnecting from a mission, the camera can flicker until the loading screen shows up. This should be solved in an upcoming hotfix.
- Players can hot-join private matches if they enter matchmaking through Quickplay.
- Some barrel explosion animations can trigger more times than intended. This is only a visual issue.
- [Xbox Only] Some level and enemy textures can take a while to load, leaving a low-quality texture visible until it finishes loading.
- The description for Psyker’s “Psykinetic’s Aura” ability is missing localization in some languages. Fixed!
- When respawning, ammo count on the HUD can show incorrect numbers.
- In Expeditions with tornadoes, sometimes players can be spun around and taken for a ride even with no tornadoes nearby.
That’s all for today!
We’ll see you on the Mourningstar.
