Cannot select character after update

Issue Type (Required):

Connectivity

Issue Description (Required):

updated darktide, tried to boot up. gave a ‘corrupted file’ error and asked me to validate. I validated, it installed new files (less then a meg).
Now I boot up, get to pick my character, and it takes me to the loading screen with tips, and sits there. I amable to change what tips I’m looking at, etc, but it never ‘leaves’ the tip screen. I tried leaving the game running for like 10 minutes and it just sits there, never getting to the morning star, never crashing just ‘loading’.

[PC] Do You Use Mods? (Optional):

No, I don’t use mods

Reproduction Rate (Required):

Constant (100%)

Platform (Required):

Steam (PC)

[PC] Crash Report (Optional):

doesn’t ‘crash’… just sits doing nothing.

Sorry to hear this @kaelin, please could you try a clean reinstallation of Darktide (which involves deleting your AppData) and let me know if the issue persists?

Thanks!
