Screen Flashes

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Technical Support

Issue Description:
This problem started happening a couple days ago but im starting to get purple screen flashes like my graphics card is dying. However i checked it on other high graphic intensive games like Battlefield 2042 and i never had that problem, its only on Darktide. Even after doing a drivers update on my card im still having these problems. And these flashes happen seldom randomly to the point where its almost distracting.

Try a clean driver re-installation instead of simply updating :slight_smile:

I tried that, it diminished the flashes somewhat but didn’t fix it completely. However, I decided to turn down the graphics quality to Medium and turn off all the RTX stuff and that fixed my issues. And when I was testing it the only time I was experiencing the flashes was when I was loading new areas. So staying in 1 location: little to no flashes, but moving through hallways to a new location: lots of flashes. So I think it’s just an asset loading issue.
