Fix: Warhammer 40000 Darktide Mission Aborted Error
We can understand that a newly launched video game might crash or throw the mission aborted error but earned XP rewards from the completed mission gets disappeared which becomes frustrating for sure. If we take a quick look at the full error message, it says “Mission Aborted: Sorry, but your mission has ended because of an expected error”. If you’re one of the victims, just check the guide.
As of now, there is no specific reason confirmed yet behind this error but it’s expected that conflicts with the game server, issues with the internet connection, in-game bugs, etc might trigger multiple errors. Whereas an outdated game version, not running the game as administrator, issues with the game files, and more can also be a possible reason. Luckily, you can try fixing the issue manually.

3. Try Joining the Mission Again
You should try joining the problematic mission once again to check for the issue. Just keep trying multiple times after some intervals. Some of the affected players have tried this method and did find it useful enough.
4. Run the Game as an Administrator

- Once done, click on Apply and then OK to save changes.

It’s worth mentioning that the Steam launcher can also be run as an administrator in the same way.
5. Check for the Game Update
