Sorry to hear this @D34D01

I recommend to try the following next:

  • Uninstall your current GPU drivers using a dedicated driver removal tool e.g. DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) and then to install clean GPU drivers
  • Next, try repairing your .NET Framework installation:

After this, please then try a clean reinstallation of Darktide again (note custom settings e.g. keybinds, graphics, loadouts etc. will be reset):

Please let me know how this goes!
