Heya Everyone,

We are putting out a hotfix this week which might require players to tweak their render settings again when first launching the game on PC.

When Unlocked & Unloaded came out last month, we added FSR 3.1 Frame Generation. As many noticed, this was defaulted to “on” and it caused issues for some players.

Honestly, this was unintentional, as it was not meant to be defaulted to on.

For this next Hotfix #51, we will update the settings version which will force the launcher to re-detect players’ render settings, this will reset the FSR3.1 frame generation to off. This is partially to revert the defaulted frame generation setting and partially to clean up resolutions and render settings to prepare for another change coming with the hotfix.

When launching the game for the first time, the launcher will show a pop up to notify the user that settings have been reset based on hardware detection. Some players might want to go and tweak settings based on their own preferences.

This note will be included in the patch notes this week for Hotfix #51, but we wanted to make sure this isn’t missed by players and it is clearly communicated ahead of time!

Thank you,

The Darktide Team

Hopefully it doesn’t reset too many of my settings…

It resets everything, so I recommend getting a Backup to restore your prefered settings

I’ve had to do those settings over, and over and over for the entire life of Darktide so far.

Its the small things, as they start to pile up atop eachother. You start to think, why do no other games require this of me when I access the game?

Yes, this is our recommendation. It’ll auto-detect based on your hardware, but some players might have their own preferences. :pray:

Is it for only render settings or also effect key bindings etc?

If we wanted to backup the settings that are due to be reset, what do we need to make a copy of ? is it just user_settings.config in AppData\Roaming\Fatshark\Darktide or something else?

Will there be an anniversary announcement this week?

Hopefully this one will fix the connection issues loads of us have been having since last patch.

Please can you tell us exactly what file/location we need to backup and restore in order to keep current game settings?

I’m left handed so if keybindings reset I’ll flip a table.

Sometimes your settings have been refined and tweaked over weeks or more and its difficult to remember exactly what you had to make it work so smoothly. You try, of course, you tweak and fiddle and hum and haw and think and think but you cant really shake the feeling you had it perfect before and now its not running quite as well and if you could just remember the right setting you could regain that beautiful balance of perfect graphics and decent framerate that doesnt make your computer sound like a jetplane powering up to take flight!

On the other hand, a fresh slate can be a wonderful thing. A Tabula Rasa!
