Mesh streaming not working correctly

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Technical Support
1

So ever since the launch of the game, the mesh streaming has not worked correctly.

I made a post shortly after launch but the issues persist.

Link to the old post:

I don’t know what causes it but no patch has ever fixed it, only a workaround was found by going into the game files and manually disabling mesh streaming, but this has a profound effect on performance.

Platform is Steam.

It happens 100% of the time

It happens in many more places but this is the easiest to get to and show

I understand our players have been dealing with this issue for a long time now. Could you tell me whether you use an SSD or HDD?

Been using an SSD since launch.

I do use a Ryzen CPU which most people who experience this problem also seem to be using.

We are aware of different issues.

I added (today, meaning it will come in a future patch) so you can override the mesh streamer to disable it from user settings (currently you can only do it by modifying the steam/msstore data in settings*.ini files).

We will take a larger peek at this system in the near future to mitigate some of the issues.

Much appreciated, good to know you are aware of the issue and are taking measures to fix it.

The in-game setting for the mesh streamer will be a good addition until the issue has been fully resolved, looking forward to trying it out when it is added.

near future… Does it really take you 2 years to add a bool in the game settings?

quick check from the game code it looks like you can set

mesh_streamer_settings = {
disable = true
}

in user config, should have same syntax as the settings*.ini files.
