CLOSED BETA KNOWN ISSUES

We’ve been hard at work squashing bugs and making improvements to Dauntless. Thank you to everyone for their patience and continued support! Your feedback has been instrumental in helping us track down and resolve these issues.

We believe we’ve found and fixed almost all progression-blocking bugs but please visit support.playdauntless.com if you are stuck because of a quest that will not complete.

We’re continuing to optimize and improve performance, especially in Ramsgate. If your game is crashing while joining or while in Ramsgate, please try lowering your graphic settings (especially resolution).

We’re aware and looking into a bug that causes Drask to sometimes shoot players through walls.

We’re looking into a bug which causes some flora to float off the ground

Some players may be experiencing disconnects and server crashes and we are actively working on these issues to improve overall stability.

Do not log into Dauntless from multiple places at the same time. It will lead to account data corruption.

Menus, icons, and controller support are a continued work in progress. Please use a mouse and keyboard where a controller is not fully supported.
