- Crash Hotfix - 5 November 2025
We noticed a nasty crash slipped through the cracks, so that's been fixed now ːsteamthumbsupːOther notes:We're also aware that there's issues with a couple vehicle kits going invisible due to the new code around proximity fading when the camera is close to it. We're looking into why this is happening. In the meantime if you could please use a different kit temporarily, would be great.Steam Deck still has pretty bad performance issues that we're looking into. They seemingly popped up in one of the summertime patches, so we're narrowing down which change could have caused it. Apologies for the issue, we're on top of it thoughWe are also looking into server host performance, as hosting a full server can be pretty heavy on a player's PC. Hopefully improving performance here will help with any server desync issues as wellWe're working on fixing other things as well, plus finishing up the Cre…

You'll be rethinking the way you traverse the game's maps because of how different this vehicle is - in a great way.This agile little fella also has a variety of weapons / abilities:Kopta Rokkits which are consistently fired out of the front of the vehicleSpinnin' Blades which is a smashin' n' slicin' melee attack, but also a movement abilityDeff Fr…

- My favorite new Warhammer 40k game is getting a map editor for Orktober - 18 September 2025
The older I get, the more convinced I am that Orks are the best Warhammer faction. They make great enemies (think Space Marine 2), and even better protagonists (Shootas, Blood and Teef). They're the most fun faction to play on the tabletop, and converting up a fleet of looted Deff Dreads is one of the best hobby experiences I've ever had. I'm not sure why it took me so long to check out Warhammer 40k Speed Freeks , then. The chaotic racer made its way to PC earlier this year, and is now implementing a map editor ahead of a big Orktober update. Read the rest of the story...
