Issues unresolved

Imperial Fists logo stretched in save menu

When selecting a saved game utilizing the Imperial Fists faction, the faction's logo appears stretched.[1]

No known fix.

Low framerate

Space Hulk Ascension is known to have framerate issues as more units appear on screen.[2] A number of smaller fixes may improve the framerate:

  • Disable Shoulder Camera in settings. (Reportedly the most consistent fix)
  • Disable Overwatch Cones in settings. (May impact gameplay)
  • Disable Volumetric Lighting in settings. (Negatively impacts visual quality)
  • Force rendering in DirectX 11 mode. Add the start-up parameter -force-d3d11 via Steam Properties of the game.

Issues fixed

Black screen upon entering main menu

Various fixes[3]
  • Verify game files using Steam.
  • Delete all saved games (Unity bug causes corruption in saves).

Notes

Some Linux users report these fixes are not working.

Infinite loading screens

Various fixes[4]

Verify game files using Steam.
