- Reduce Worker Threads number – even before you press the PLAY button, underneath it you will find Settings. There, at the very bottom, you can set the "Worker Threads", reduce their number by at least 2.
- Delate Darktide AppData – press the Windows/Start key + R. Next, write %appdata% and confirm. Find the Fatshark folder and delete the Darktide directory. Launch the game.
- VPN - some players report that using a VPN has helped them solve many problems. However, if you decide to take this step remember that each country has its own regulations.
Check beforehand whether the use of this type of software is legal where you live. What's more, Valve itself (owner of the Steam platform) also disagrees with the use of VPNs in their shop. In the worst case scenario, this can therefore lead to very unpleasant consequences.
Of the good news – the developers are already aware of the problem, so there is a chance that it will be resolved sooner or later. You can help solve problems if you report them on Fatshark's official forum - the link can be found here.
