I’m really sorry if this has been answered in a pinned topic. I have had a quick look but I couldn’t find the answer I wanted. Before the Path to Redemption released I was playing at 4k with almost everything set to high, at around 40-60 fps. Since the patch I’ve has to switch to 1080 and set everything as low as possible and I’m getting 20-30fps with extremely high instability and imput lag. It seams to get worse the longer I play. All I want is reasurance this isn’t on my end and that it is being looked at by FS? ---

Fatshark are looking in to it and they are aware of the performance problems as it is happening to everyone. A workaround is to download the beta. It has given me noticeable improvement in performance. Please see the below instructions: 1. Open the Steam client 2. Right-click Darktide in your Steam library 3. Select ‘Properties’ 4. Select ‘Betas’ 5. Enter the password `cTYPtKTsfMDsLHAV` 6. Select ‘Check Code’ 7. Select the ‘None’ dropdown, and `experimental - Experimental Builds` should now be within the list 8. Select `experimental - Experimental Builds` 9. Close the pop-up window 10. A download should now start ---

Thanks for the info. I tried it and when I loaded back into the hub area I was getting up to 110fps. Then I played one game which went down to around 8fps. When I loaded back to the hub I was between 5 and 30fps. So unfortunately nothings changed. I find it mad how long its been like this without them fixing it. Anyone who bought the game recently will want a refund. It’s so bad for the game. ---

I agree man. The problems should have been fixed a long time ago and this situation is inexcusable but we still need to be constructive with Fatshark to get this game fixed. ---

I agree to a point. We paid them, it all on them to fix it. Any help they get from us is purely our generosity and passion for what is normally a great game! ---
