A solution to the crashing and lagging on the game!

[Robbie]

Hello, I have found a solution to the game crashing and bad lagging on the loading screen and in game play it self. I have been having issues where the game would end up crashing in the middle of the game play or just after the loading screen. Where you are waiting in the aircraft for the mission to start. The fix is pretty easy.

All you have to do is go to.
steamapps\common\Warhammer 40,000 DARKTIDE\binaries game folder.

Right click on Darktide.exe and go down to Properties. Then go to compatibility.

Tick the box Disable full-screen optimisations and then go in to Change high DPI settings.
Tick the box Program DPI.

I have found doing so. Have fix my game crashing now.
On the loading screen and in game play it self. I have been in 5 matches and never once the game has crashed now, I have also found out on doing this. It has helped on the game frame rate issues. Like when you are captured and waiting to be rescued. changing player camera can be slow. I found doing this has made it faster and even the game play itself has improved.

I hope this help's you.

A little update from later on in the day.

I have been playing the game all day none stop. The game has crashed only 2 times after the loading screen. When you start your mission! But never crashed in the game play it self. A big difference compared to how it was! It would crash pretty much every time I start a mission or in the gameplay it self before. I would like to say this isn’t a real fix like some people have mentioned. I do agree to that. But since I was having none stop problems with the game on bad crashes. Where it was very much unplayable. I thought I post what had helped me. It may help other people!

I am sorry if it doesn’t help you.
But If it did help your crashing issues.
That’s brilliant and I hope you now enjoy the game better! 👍

I just tested this, it fixed my issues 100%!! I can actually play the game again!

[Robbie]

That's brilliant Kelik.

lol another magic ritual

it doesn't work - did this, crashed instantly after loading into the mission, business as usual

Does this means I don't have lower the CPU threads in the game's launcher anymore?

of course! you don't have to limit CPU threads, because it doesn't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ work either. It's just made-up nonsense that doesn't affect anything whatsoever, because you're crashing because of what's going on the server, not on the client's side

I absolutely love these threads and how schmucks be giving awards to themselves, like it's a real solution

wake up mfers, it doesn't work. The problem is not on your side

Nothing but placebos and the schmucks that post them.

They plague many game discussion boards. Not just this one.

tbh serious gamers should really be doing that on basically every game anyway due to how FSE input delay and GDI rendering scales work

Didn't fix my issue. I'm lagging like crazy since yesterday and I can't play the game without teleporting

No need to be rude people. I have never said it was a real solution! I’m only posting what had helped me on my game play. Has my game was unplayable. It would keep on crashing very much in the game play and at the after loading screen all the time. I couldn’t play it at all very much! But my game does crash still. But less compared to how it was. I only had 2 crashes after the loading screen today. And no crashes on game play it self. Since changing the settings. And I have been playing all day! To me it’s a big improvement on the number of crashes. I have tried high DPI scaling override with the two other settings still ticked. The game still runs very smooth. Anyway if it doesn’t work for you. I am very sorry. But please there is no need to be rude. I am only trying to help people with crashing problems. Since my self had it pretty bad. I thought I share what had helped me. But if it does help. That’s brilliant. 👍

you're not a real man unless you know how FSE input delay and GDI rendering scales work

you're not a real man if you can't write your own C++->Assembler compiler

going to try this now, I would have a crash where whenever loading into a map it would freeze immediately, Alt+F4 would be required and then could reconnect no problem
