Manually deleting the whole Darktide from library then redownloading and reinstalling was actually the only thing that worked for me…

None of this worked, after 2 whole hours I still was stuck just installing the game. I’m now reinstalling the game from a fresh Darktide download. I’m super disappointed that I had to wait 28 hours for a game that barely changed in any regard from the pre-order beta.
