It’s an unusual crash, with only a few occurrences unique to your system. It’s a shot in the dark, but can you try a clean reinstallation of Darktide which involves deleting your Appdata, to ensure a clean slate for both your game files and settings (please note custom settings e.g. keybinds, graphics, loadouts etc. will be reset):

Please let me know how this goes.

Thanks I did just try. Did a fresh reinstall and still getting a Lua 122 error.

Hm okay, thanks for the update! I’ve shared your previous, and most recent crash report and logs with the development team to see if our developers have any insight.

Due to the late time on a Friday, this may not get picked up immediately - but I’ll update you as soon as I receive a response.

Thank you for your patience.

Heya Lev! I don’t suppose you’ve heard anything back yet?

Cheers

Hey @Piz

They asked it you can check if you have any unassigned keybinds, specifically the weapon extra which appears to be being used by the code - but may be missing.

A clean reinstall in theory should have wiped your existing keybindings, unless your settings have been restored by Steam Cloud save perhaps.

Okay this narrows it down. I go into keybinds and my game instantly crashes with the lua:122 error. Would there be a way that I could factory reset my keybinds outside the game?

Gotcha, please try a complete reinstall, but also disabling Steam Cloud Saving and deleting your AppData beforehand. This will ensure any corrupted AppData does not carry over to the new installation:

Step 1: Disable Steam Cloud Saving

  1. Navigate to your Steam library
  2. Right-click Darktide
  3. Select ‘Properties’
  4. On the ‘General’ tab, scroll down to ‘Steam Cloud’
  5. Disable ‘Keep game saves in the Steam Cloud for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide’

Step 2: Delete AppData

NOTE: By deleting your AppData, custom keybindings will be reset. You may wish to make a back-up of the directory in the event deleting your AppData does not work to resolve the issue.

  1. Press the Windows key + R
  2. Enter %appdata% within the search input and select ‘OK’
  3. Navigate to: AppData\Roaming\Fatshark
  4. Delete the entire ‘Darktide’ directory

Once the steps above are complete, you can then proceed to reinstall Darktide as normal.
