Not %100 sure what is going on but it appears Darktide is not using my graphics card. I am curios if this isn’t the source of my terrible performance in the game thus far. Both of my friends that were playing with me have this as well. I am not sure if we are doing something wrong or if this is a b…

Are you on a laptop? I don’t think the game will even launch if it tries to use the Intel GPU

@FatsharkJulia Ok checked that and yup its using the right one or so it says. 04:35:37.187 [Launcher] [Main Window] [SysInfo] AdapterId: 0 (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050) OutputId: 0 CurrentResolution: 1920x1080 @Satoru No its just a little older Desktop. Tested vermintide 2 as well and it uses %30 - %…

I can’t seem to locate the launcher.log within %appdata%/fatshark/darktide, is this because Darktide is installed on an external harddrive?

@FatsharkJulia Awesome keep up the good work Julia and keep us posted on what may be up.

Note that task manager isnt a great tool to measure GPU utilization. It would be better if you used a more widely used overlay such as the Afterburner overlay which tends to give more accurate results. Alternatively you can use HWmonitor For example here is a screenshot of me running the Hitman3 be…

I remembered I have GPU Z installed and checked that and yes indeed it does seem GPU is being utilized but very strange windows doesn’t notice that. [Darktide GPU Z] For those wish to check on their own systems here is the website for the lightweight open source software I used: GPU-Z Graphics Ca…
