Exception preventing game launch

Issue Type (Required):

Launcher

Issue Description (Required):

Just bought Darktide earlier and after installing the game every time I open the game through Steam, I get a Windows exception that causes the game to close. I have verified the integrity of the cache and all my files are accounted for and have tried every fix for the launcher that was recommended to try. I have run the launcher in compatibility mode and as admin and nothing has seemed to work at all. I can open the game using the binary launcher, but I cannot connect to the servers this way. Any help would be appreciated

If you have one, could you share your darktide_launcher.log with me please?:

Unfortunately I never generated a crash report. I got this error when I tried to open the launcher, so I never even got to the point of opening darktide and generating the folder in my appdata

Oh no! I’ve reached out to our developers for their advice, and I’ll keep you posted.

Thank you, I’m honestly at a loss for any other potential solutions

Apologies for the delay, our developers suspect a .NET Framework issue but it’s my understanding you’ve already reinstalled this, is that right?

Yes. I reinstalled the NET framework with the most recent version.

The next step I think would be to run the Windows System File Checker:
