Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader Got Hotfixes for PC

Developer Owlcat Games rolled out a new hotfix for the PC version of turn-based cRPG Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader. It tackles the pesky persistent bug that prevented some Dogmatic and Iconoclast Lord Captains from getting cutscenes in the beginning of Act IV. Mac will receive the update shortly.

A separate fix for Heretical players is in the works and will be deployed once ready and all the Chaos Gods are properly pleased.

If you are having a problem with bugs, check out Owlcats’ Known Issues and Patch Roadmap: there might be a temporary solution or an estimated time of the patch that will address your issues. The developers have already deployed the first major patch that addresses hundreds of issues. The second major patch will be arriving on December 21-22, bringing in another heavy load of bug squishing.

Here are some solved issues waiting to be deployed in the nearest patch:
