The stat bars in the inventory menu seem to be bugged- lines of pixels move in and out of position. I have not noticed this issue before today. It appears to be a rendering issue either cause by a bug in the game code, or the latest Nvidia driver- 572.16.
I used to DDU and NVCleannstall tools to uninstall my old driver and install the new one. I use these tools regularly. I’ve never encountered this issue before.
The issue occurs regardless of display settings and with or without DLSS.
I deleted the shader cache folder, and I reinstalled the game- issue persists.
Update: I reinstalled my drivers and the issue is still present. I’m going to test a few other things, I will keep this posting updated with my testing.
Update #2: I discovered that the game only has this problem when rendering at native resolution, dropping my resolute the issue stops.
Steps to Reproduce (Required):
Run Darktide.
Open the menu.
Open the inventory submenu.
Click one of the weapons in your inventory.
Look closely at the yellow weapon stat bars- lines of pixels shift at a consistent rate.
UPDATE: The issue seems to resolve completely by rolling back to Nvidia driver version 566.36. So it seems it’s a driver issue starting from version 572.16 (Release Date:Thu Jan 30, 2025) onward, which fits the timeline of when I first started noticing the glitching.
Oh, I have this same issue and it’s been driving me crazy since my post on Reddit got no replies so I thought it’s an issue with my hardware!
I also have Nvidia GPU, currently running 572.42 drivers. The UI element glitching issue persisted over the most recent driver update.
Other system details:
GPU: 4080 Super
CPU: Ryzen 7800X3D
OS: Windows 10 Professional
Platform: Xbox for PC
Also from my testing the issue doesn’t seem to appear when running the game on my secondary screen (which is a 1440p 60hz one), only on my main display (4k 240hz, currently running at 120hz). Also enabling/disabling settings like V-Sync, G-sync or Reflex has no effect.
Oh and the issue definitely appeared a couple weeks back. Could’ve been the 572.16 driver update.
Update: Further testing shows that the issue is greatly mitigated, but not entirely eliminated by running at non-native, lower resolutions. The horizontal weapon stat bars no longer seem to flicker at all but the vertical bars in Mission screen, which indicate the mission difficulty, definitely still experience this issue even though not as much. I can also observe this on my secondary screen as well, so my earlier claim about it not happening there wasn’t accurate.
