This still doesn't run amazingly on high settings, even with the RT stuff off. It varies a lot depending on how many things are on screen at any given time.

I'm not upset, but this isn't a server issue. The game isn't even launching.

My guess is it's EAC related.

EDIT: I figured it out. It was indeed EAC related.

For some reason the play button in steam pointed directly to the darktide exe but the game won't run unless you use the EAC shortcut (defaults to "start_protected_app" in the Darktide folder). Why my steam decided to point at an unusable EXE is anybody's guess but it works.

Double EDIT: Long live backend error!


EDIT EDIT: Don't do this actually, it doesn't work. It turns out I still had old Darktide data in my %appdata% folder that I needed to delete and it fixed the problem.

Yeah, kinda sounds like it. Did you play the closed beta? I remember there was an issue with not uninstalling their specific version of EAC and I wonder if it is causing you a problem. If so, try reinstalling the closed beta (it's just the EAC uninstaller, not the full game) and then uninstalling. Or maybe try a reboot if you haven't already? Sorry. :(

Man, no crossplay and even no cross progression sucks pretty hard. I was thinking of refunding my steam one and getting it on Xbox so I can do PC and couch playing but apparently none of that is possible.

I don't think Marines of any variety are going to be in Darktide, because there's literally no reason they would. Just because there's imperium doesn't mean there'll be marines, especially doing the inquisition's dirty work, and just because there's chaos doesn't mean there would be spiky marines, either.
This should go in the OP too. The devs have said several times there will be no space marines at all in the game.

edit: not this quote, I mean, the point about how no, there are no marines in the game

Always a treat to see folks who only know his works in Hitman & Vermintide get floored by how easily he can bang out superb electronic tracks.

I swear the mission boss theme is a spiritual remake of a Batman & Robin piece

I just did the prologue stuff playing with everything on high, DLSS balanced, no RT. 3440x1440. Seemed pretty good to me with 90+ fps and occasional dips below that. RT was a no-go at those settings with fps frequently under 60.

I haven't played a match yet though.

Yeah it feels about on par with the beta for me, maybe better but I haven't messed around with the settings much. I think with some dialing in it'll be fine but it feels.. stuttery?

Are there still crashes/disconnects anyone is having or observing others having? I had a great time in the last beta, but my friends were crashing a lot and I don't want to preorder if that's still a problem.

Just a reminder to update your NVIDIA drivers if you haven't in the past 24 hours.

It's only been out for ~ an hour mid-day on a thursday, I imagine it's still too early to tell. I've only gotten the tutorial out of the way myself.

The answer is... 42
I just played the opening part of the prologue and it was dope. The accolades for the soundtrack are not misplaced.


As a frame of reference for performance, I’ve got an i5 6500 and a 3060Ti. I tweaked the settings on the more CPU heavy stuff and the game still looks gorgeous and is acceptable performance wise. This may change in a 4 person match but so far so good.

I get weird pop-in during pre-rendered scenes but that's it.

I was worried during the closest beta we'd just be crawling through hallways with the occassional Big Room but the first mission I tried was on the surface so that was a pleasant surprise.

Well I crash on load so I guess I better update my drivers lol.

I did manage to create my character with the name I wanted, so I'm not in a huge hurry.

I'm pretty sure the names aren't unique. I chose one of the canned random ones.

Do you just need to wait around for the shop to randomly have the load out weapons you want or do you unlock the others by leveling up?

Both, sort of. Crafting will presumably allow you to directly get ones you want later on but doesn't seem like it's currently enabled. Leveling up makes better stuff, both in power level and weapon type, appear in the store.

Starts with a new chest look at level 5, then pants at 10, so on from there, at least in the closed beta.

In the previous beta, you started to unlock new clothes starting trust level 5. Also from the looks of it you can unlock additional outfits through penances, though at least those for the psyker seem very tricky, such as kill a miniboss all on your own only damaging it with mindburst.

That seems like something that would be close to impossible without asking your team no? The only instance I can think of where that would work sort of naturally is if everyone else is down.

Hmm, Geforce Now version is working, earlier than they said it would, got through the tutorial but can't get into an actual mission which is an issue on their end obviously. However the thing used to work perfectly for me for other games but with this there's a fair bit of input lag, makes it quite unpleasant to actually play, hopefully just my internet acting up or something in combination with issues they might be having.

sure okay

Updated drivers, tried every video setting, turned off VPN, still crash on any level load.

I was able to get in and play through the prologue. I actually did the prologue twice because I had to stop partway lol.

Performance seemed ok for me although I didn't have any problems during the earlier beta either. I'm using second most recent Nvidia drivers, I probably won't update until there's a clear reason to.

Well the most recent driver update specifically supports DLSS 3 for Darktide so if you're card supports that may be worth it.
