For 6 months I’ve been straight up believing my gaming computer was s***. I was almost starting to look for a new one. Turns out it’s just that raytracing stuff which keeps turning back on every time I start the game… It makes the game run at incredibly low fps even full low settings. Now I can play with medium/high settings with 60+ fps…
Why do I have to deactivate ray tracing every time I launch the game?
Just stumbled upon this: Reddit - Dive into anything
It shows a little trick where you go into the Appdata folder and manually disable all raytracing features on the “user_settings.config” using notepad.
pls check your game settings in nvidia/amd control panel. maybe there is an option that forces ray tracing for this game
normally there should be setting for it with option called “let application decide” (or alike).
I had a similar observation after patch #9. The only difference between “RT off” and “RT custom” seems to be weird lightning flashes on the latter setting. It seemed to me like just another Darktide bug so I didn’t bother to deal with it other than commenting on a bug report about lightning issues that got acknowledged:
