KNOWN ISSUE: Operative-Specific Crashes

We’re looking in to this, but in the mean time, could you please disable Steam Cloud saving + delete your AppData?:

NOTE: If Steam Cloud saving is enabled for Darktide, this may automatically restore the AppData and consequently cause the error to resurface. You can disable Steam Cloud Saving for Darktide via the Steam client by:

1. Navigate to your Steam library
2. Right-click Darktide
3. Select ‘Properties’
4. On the ‘General’ tab, scroll down to ‘Steam Cloud’
5. Disable ‘Keep game saves in the Steam Cloud for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide’

NOTE: This will reset any custom keybindings.

1. Press the Windows key + R
2. Enter %appdata% within the search input and select ‘OK’
3. Navigate to: AppData\Roaming\Fatshark
4. Delete the entire ‘Darktide’ directory

You will then need to use the ‘Verify Integrity of Game Files’ option, which is accessible via the Steam client and will ensure the installation is complete.

1. Right-click Darktide in your Steam library sidebar
2. Select ‘Properties’
3. Select the ‘Local Files’ tab
4. Select the ‘Verify Integrity of Game Files’ button
5. When complete, close and reopen Steam

You could try deleting Darktide’s data in the Steam Cloud directory!

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\\1361210

I recall another player having a very similar issue a while back. I’ve looked up their case, and this is the steps they performed to resolve the issue, which I hope will be useful to you:

• Delete the cloud save data from files (and recycle bin)
• Delete my AppData
• Disabled Steam Cloud data
• Close and reopen steam
• Launch darktide and load the character with the issue
• Then when in the Mourningstar i tabbed out and re enabled steam cloud services
• I then tabbed back into the game and quit via the menu
• Closed and reopened steam and launched Darktide

Make a backup of both directories (Steam Cloud data + Darktide AppData) as it’s my understanding they work in unison!
