Hold A... on keyboard and mouse?

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Bugs
1

Issue Type (Required):

Launcher

Issue Description (Required):

I am on a PC, keyboard and Mouse. Always have been and have never used a controller.

This load in greets me with ‘Hold A’ and I cannot skip the cut scene which is no biggie, I suppose, as it is just a couple of minutes of my life. However, when I arrive to the character selection screen I cannot do anything as I don’t even possess a controller to plug in to select one of my characters. Yes, I have verified my files. Any suggestions as to how I solve this would be greatly appreciated!

Hello! I’ll try to dig out that report when I am out of my current 3-hour online meeting.

However, following advice from Reddit I did disconnect the Razer Tartarus Pro peripheral which is always connected to my PC, and this solved the problem. To be clear, I always have this controller connected when I play Darktide, including this morning before the patch. Consequently, this is clearly the problem.

All of my Drivers are up to date.

I’ve come here to report exactly this. This N&V patch has broken everything while the Razer Tartarus Pro is connected.

Can’t skip the start cutscene. Can’t get past the Splash Screen.
