Darktide Textures stopped loading

[RedPoltergeist]

Issue Type (Required):

Error - (Other)

Issue Description (Required):

No textures can load, everything is black (screenshots).
The issue was found on the 2nd login into the game: textures stopped loading, although the game clearly worked (I managed to blindly navigate through to the mission).

I have a below requirements PC, but the game ran OK for about 5 matches until I log off for the day and then the bug happened. I tried reinstalling 4 times, appdata cleared, portrait disabled, all kinds of settings tried.

3 logs contain the same bug, its omnipresent

This looks like a lighting issue. I can see the outline of an Ogryn in your screenshot, it just seems that no lighting is working lol.

Have you tried fiddling around with lighting settings?

[RedPoltergeist]

Yeah, i tried to get this slider with the emblem of aquila to full
no luck

These issues can usually be resolved with a clean re-installation of your GPU drivers.

Edit: Sorry, I’ve seen your hardware - I’m not sure Darktide will run well on this set-up, unfortunately.

[RedPoltergeist]

well, it did run for the first 5 matches, which brought this question.
Had it said ‘sorry bro, you cant join matches because reasons’, I’d understand and just refund the game or let it sit int Steam library until I buy a better PC

But I had a few quite clean matches (30-40fps) with some lags, but manageable overall, and then this happened

[RedPoltergeist]

I’ll try to reistall drivers and come back with feedback

[RedPoltergeist]

nope, no good luck

after the 2nd clean reinstall, the machine spirit is pleased
