Issue Type (Required): Launcher Issue Description (Required): Heya! First time encountering this, was playing fine up until today with the latest hotfix and newest Nvidia driver installed. Play button is greyed out and I cannot open up the settings option. Things I have tried: Verify Integrity …

Interesting there’s no Darktide.exe! Could it be quarantined by your Anti-Virus?

GF just ran into this issue today… hit me up with any questions

Woop woop! That was it! Something must’ve gotten updated overnight and my antivirus decided to put Darktide in quarantine, thanks!

This was helpful in my case too. :slight_smile:

Which Anti-Virus are you both using out of interest? :slight_smile:

do you use avast as your antivirus?

Yeah, I used Avast, looks like it was either the hotfix itself or Avast updating that cause the exe to be quarantined

Cannot get past Launcher
