Game crashing on startup

Sorry to hear that. Have you tried this already?:

  1. Press the Windows key + R
  2. Enter %appdata% within the search input and select ‘OK’
  3. Navigate to: AppData\Roaming\Fatshark\MicrosoftStore
  4. Delete the entire ‘Darktide’ directory
  5. Launch Darktide as normal

Please note that this will reset any custom keybindings.

You will then need to use the ‘Verify and Repair’ option, which is accessible via the Xbox App and will ensure the installation is complete.

  1. Open the Xbox App
  2. In ‘My Library’, select ‘Darktide’
  3. Select ‘More Options (…)’
  4. Select ‘Manage’
  5. Select ‘Files’
  6. Select ‘Verify and Repair’
