Darktide Texture/Shading Flickering

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Technical Support
1

Ive been attempting to play this game but cannot seem to get past one hurdle.

On my pc setup, I have an issue where it seems the lighting/textures are always flickering, unless I stand still. The more I move (especially turning) the worse it gets. No settings seem to change this at all. My drivers are all up to date (even reinstalled) and I meet the minimum system requirements, if not over them. I have tried reinstalling, verifying game files but it doesnt get better.

I am on steam

It is 100% constant

(apologies for the low quality on this one.)

We’re looking in to similar issues. Thank you for your report.

I’ve got the same issues, on Steam. Running on a brand new PC with Windows 11. All drivers updated. Can’t even finish a run and it’s flickering like crazy some times. No overlays ingame.

Same issues, made a post on this before. Adding my voice to the choir.

Old thread, but adding to it:
Since the new patch 1.0.3 I know also have texture flickering. I changed a number of settings but it persists.
Playable but very bad for eyesight.

Update: I fixed the issue by deleting the user_config file and setting options again.
Not sure what caused the issue, but it must have been one of the custom options I set. Still weird.

I’m getting it too, and I’ll try deleting the user_config file when I’m back on tonight. I had adjusted lighting quality and DLSS modes with no change.

I tried setting the options the normal way and had even completely re-installed the GPU drivers. No avail.
Only going scorched earth on the user_config file and changing settings from the detected settings made the issue go away.

Same problem.
