- A new auto-reset option for dead/lost loadouts - A new mechanism to confirm a player is active in a mission so that insta-losses won't lead to loadout deaths - A UI fix to rename the reset button to "Hardtide: Reset Loadout" for clarity.
I've also pushed an update to the server so that PBs and lifetime losses are tracked on a per-loadout basis, and I hope to add UI to expose that data sometime in the future.
Not sure if this is known or not but it seems even if you have the tracker for Rolling Steel missions turned off if you leave during the mission it will put a skull on your shield. It didn't end my run as it seemed restarting the game fixed it but I could see people resetting their loadout thinking that it bugged and ended their streak.
The little shield keeps vanishing and I have no idea why lol is there a way to add an option that resets its display on the screen to maybe force it into showing again?
It's not showing at all, but also, I recently tried to rescale my UI, since my monitor is 1080 and I always felt like the UI was too big. These are the mods I have right now, posting because no idea which one could be causing an interference, in case it's not related to me rescaling the UI:
Hey! So I spent some time installing some of the mods I didn't have from your list and wasn't able to replicate the issue. Question: is the win streak number still visible in the places where the shield and other icons aren't? It'll be hard to see, so you might need to really squint!
I have an annoying update, after I got in the game to take those screenshots, the shield came back? I don't know what to believe in anymore. I'll see myself out lol
1) The server-side detection of skipped matches, and the function that reduces win counts when a match is skipped on an active loadout, has been re-enabled. This was temporarily disabled after the breaking changes introduced in the Unlocked & Loaded update.
2) Additionally, a grace period has been added for online mode (on the server-side) that does not count a lost mission as a win streak-ending loss if it occurs within 45 seconds of joining the match. This amount of time may change in the future, depending on how big of an effect it has.
It's a rare-but-known problem because right now there's no "bad luck protection" in the mod. It's something that's come up several times, and I've spent a lot of time thinking about. I'm thinking I'm going to implement a very light-touch rule on the server sometime soon, something like if a match ends in a loss within 30 seconds of joining it, the loss won't end the streak...but I still have to put some more thought into it.
Hardtide v2.22 is out now with the following fixes:
- Fixed conflict with other mods that load the same package used for shield UI, which was causing shields to not load for some players in v2.20-v2.21 - Added checks and fixes for shields disappearing when they shouldn't or getting stuck in the "?" loading state
Thanks to Dorn, VxeR, dunnybanni and boneofimba for reporting issues and helping figure this out!
I've been using it for some time, while I love the idea behind it, the new timed mission is an RNG failure waiting to happen, which imo counters the purpose of this mod. I would love to have the ability to exclude that mission, because it's not impossible to join an ongoing one when the timer is up and lose the streak not because of skill, but because quick play match making fucked you over.
You're right. The new mission is quite unique in that you could be dumped into an ongoing mission, even before the timer is halfway through, with no possibility to make that mission a success.
It's dangerous to go alone! Take this: Hardtide v2.20 v2.21
v2.20, which was briefly available today had an issue that prevented successful missions with other players from counting as a win. v2.21 fixes that issue. Huge thanks to jerr0 for noticing this issue!
v2.21 adds support for the Party Finder feature, allowing you to team up with other Hardtide players to work together to juice your win streaks. I'd recommend using the "Hardcore" keyword, along with your desired difficulty, in the Party Finder. If you're hosting the party, you'll be able to see the Hardtide status and win streak for anyone who requests to join. And if you're looking to join an existing group, you can see the Hardtide status and win streak of each player who has already joined using the "Show Details" feature of the Party Finder.
v2.21 also adds: an option to disregard Rolling Steel missions (because it is possible to join into unwinnable matches), UI to indicate that a player's Hardtide status is being checked, and improved handling of UI updates for other players.
Please check it out and let me know if you run into any issues!
Hardtide >= v2.11 is required to continue playing Hardtide. The Unlocked & Loaded update introduced a change to the data types accepted by the game, resulting in data sent from the Hardtide servers back to the game being rejected by previous versions of the mod.
Gotta say great mod so far makes carrying randoms in Pubs a lot more fun as there's something to work towards. Have a question I had a win streak of 81 when the game put me in a lobby as the last one alive and then proceed to yeet me through the map insta killing me and ending the run. Would it count as invalid if I continue that run as I feel it's kinda bs or should I just reset from zero I'm trying to go for 100 wins. This was using the online mode for the mod and I don't want to feel like I'm cheating it. Either way I'm not stopping to I hit 100 wins in a row.
Edit: after doing some testing I now see I misread your post about the if a loadout fails only works as if you DC not if you die. Back to another ~35hr grind not letting some bs stop my 100 wins how else can I prove I have no life.
First off, congrats on that run! It's the highest streak Hardtide has seen!
Personally, I'd hang onto that loadout to commemorate that absolutely insane run. Or, if you need the space, delete the loadout in the game (rather than reset it to 0) so that it sticks around in the Hardtide backend. At some point, I'd like to add some kind of (optional) hall of fame/leaderboard to memorialize these amazing streaks.
As for this run: unfortunately, I have yet to land on what I think is a totally fair "bad luck prevention" mechanism that would have maybe saved this epic streak by granting a grace period in that match. That's still on my todo list and a WIP. But for now, yea, that's the way the Hardtide crumbles, and restarting is the only option.
Yea that's fine what happened to me is a first in over 1k hrs of play time. And I was going to ask if you were ever going to do a top win streak board dead or alive but it seems you already thought of the idea. Gives me a reason to push past 100 once I get to it. Already back to 27 Damnation wins here's hoping darktide doesn't pull a darktide again. No real lost on the first run it's just kinda funny it takes a bug like that to stop me after carrying more games then I can remember.
