Textures of character and weapon models are loading in super slowly

[xeonzs]

This issue is still happening in 2025, it wasn’t this bad halfway last year, it seems to have gotten worse somewhere towards the end of last year.
It’s particularly noticeable on some weapon swapping and some enemy spawns as their LOD is supposed to change, like mutants, plague ogryns and chaos spawns.

I’m giving the changes in these 2 threads a try:

I fixed stutter and textures not loading in! (Texutre streaming config file change)

Issue Description (Required): I hope that the devs at Fatshark see this because my journey of looking for a reproduceable root cause of game stutter and texture streaming not working correctly has ended! Update: I have just found out that Darktide does not have Fullscreen optimisations enabled. This fix here combined with the below fixes seemed to have solved all of my issues with this game. So far many people have benefited from this. Let me know your results PLEASE NOTE: I ha…

Fullscreen Optimisations are not enabled for Darktide (fix included)

Im glad im not going crazy. I have spent that last 5 weeks and 50% of my spare time looking into all this stuff, reading engine documentation and this one has finally solved my problems with weird framerates @Axloss @FatsharkJulia Potential for the team to look into this? It take about 3 seconds to do and the performance impact for my was staggering.
