Are there no console logs produced? :frowning:

Thats correct. I have the following folders (re)populate after attempting to start the game-

…\Fatshark
-----Darktide
----------darktide_launcher.log
----------launcher_cleanup.cache
----------\console_logs
---------------[empty]
----------\crash_dumps
---------------[empty]
----------\GPUCrashDumps
---------------[empty]
-----EarlyCrashReports
----------[empty]

Re-attempted after turning my system on for the morning. Still no luck.

After experimenting last night, I am able to “Start” the game through executing either the start_protected_game.exe or the Darktide.exe. It gets as far as “Press Space” and then throws up a backend error.

Launcher.exe will not execute, neither as normal or as admin.
