Some global QoL suggestions after 30 hours that will improve the experience for everyone

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Gameplay Feedback
1
  1. Allow players to turn off the longform intro video from the menu.
  2. One of your intros requires ESC to skip, but the (unnecessary) menu slash screen requires the Spacebar to continue, match these until you can implement #3.
  3. Remove the “press space” to enter the menu… why are you gating a loading screen WITH ANOTHER LOADING SCREEN after players press the space bar? ?
  4. Ray tracing should not be turned on by default, it is ridiculously costly. Most of the players complaining about performance are probably having it defaulted on. Players who want RTX will turn it on.
  5. Allow for a 90FPS cap (as players with cards around ~3080 performance with RTX on low would benefit from this)

Suggestions 1-4 all stem from me having to experience the intro/esc/wait/space/wait far too many times from crashes. Fixing crashes obviously is key, but crashing highlights how desperately some workflow changes at startup are needed.
