Crash - on Launch

Issue Description (Required):

So, i play the game as normal, but suddenly. Boom! In the next morning, the game not working.
When I press play on Steam, it shows the game is running for a couple of seconds, and then dies. Nothing pops up, absolutely nothing. No launcher, no error, nothing at all.
I spent about a couple of hours trying to solve the problem and reviewed all the threads.

Hi Rations, it looks like there’s an issue with GPUDetection.exe which runs when the launcher is launched. Please:

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 GPUDetection.exe

  1. Navigate to Steam\steamapps\common\Warhammer 40,000 DARKTIDE\launcher
  2. Delete GPUDetection.exe

Step 3: Verify Integrity of Game Files

You will then need to use the ‘Verify Integrity of Game Files’ option, which is accessible via the Steam client and will ensure the installation is complete.

  1. Right-click Darktide in your Steam library sidebar
  2. Select ‘Properties’
  3. Select the ‘Local Files’ tab
  4. Select the ‘Verify Integrity of Game Files’ button
  5. When complete, close and reopen Steam
