[2022] Won't start at all

Can you ensure that your anti-virus has the game whitelisted. Or you can try disabling your anti-virus entirely.

Is there a darktide_launcher.log file generated?

Please see if anything here can help: https://support.fatshark.se/hc/en-us/articles/7709665369501--PC-How-to-Resolve-Darktide-Launcher-Issues

1. Delete the appdata\roaming\fatshark directory (this is one directory down from the darktide directory)
2. Run steam as an administrator

It feels like steam cant write to the directory which is why its not generating the launcher log. I’m hoping that by wiping the fatshark subfolder, steam will be able to recreate the file structure
