Could you try deleting your Darktide AppData? Please keep in mind this will reset your keybindings:

1. Press the Windows key + R
2. Enter %appdata% within the search input and select ‘OK’
3. Navigate to AppData\Roaming\Fatshark\MicrosoftStore
4. Delete the entire ‘Darktide’ directory
5. Re-launch as normal

I did that plus turned off DLSS, set ragdolls to lowest (3), turned VSync on, and capped frames at 60. I played 3 missions with no issues thank you!
