Sorry to hear this @RexGauner

Firstly, I recommend uninstalling your current GPU drivers using a dedicated driver removal tool e.g. DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) and then reinstalling clean latest drivers.

Next, perform a clean reinstallation of Darktide which involves deleting your AppData (please note custom settings e.g. keybinds, graphics, loadouts etc. will be reset):

Please let me know how this goes.
