KNOWN ISSUE: Operative-Specific Crashes

We are aware of a crash that seems to occur only on specific operatives. For example, you may be able to play as Veteran, but experience crashes when playing Psyker, or the other way around.

This is due to be addressed in our upcoming hotfix, however, you may be able to work around the issue using the instructions below:

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
