Issue Description (Required):
After the last update, I noticed during the three new missions and the final new level with the boss, that I was having a bit of minor stuttering and lagging issues, in particular during large areas with a lot of enemies.
I’ve not changed the settings at all since before the update and I’d never had that before. The game was pretty much lovely and smooth.
Attempted Solutions (Optional):
I tried changing the anti aliasing from TAA to completely OFF but it didn’t do anything. So I did a quick google search about the issue, the Google assistant asked what spec computer I was using and at what general settings.
For the most part, I mentioned about the settings on the start up screen when you click ‘Play’ on Steam, including what the Worker Threads were set to.
That’s been set to 6 for as long as I can remember (for the physical cores), but it was suggested to me that while Darktide uses both physical and logical cores (threads), it’s worth trying 5 instead of 6 because although game mode is set to ON in Windows 10, Windows can be a bit stupid and faff about in the background sometimes (My words, not Google AI’s 
).
Well, I tried 5 and it’s working a lot nicer now.
