Just in case it got you too, did you install the most recent Windows update?
yes

Might not be able to go back that far without uninstalling other updates too
i did totaly reset my pc
You have a 9070XT right? With FSR4 on? If you don’t get the popup that says FSR4 is on that means Windows messed with your driver
yeah i have a 9070xt and yes fsr4 showed i think winows messed real good with my drivers
I forget if i’ve done this song and dance for you before but try this
keep in mind Windows broke mouse and keyboard inputs in the recovery screen so you can’t get to safe mode that way 
I recommend just using the AMD driver cleanup utility which kicks windows into safe mode for you and back out when it’s done. You can ignore everything about clearing your steam cloud save I think. Also the driver link I used is old so you’ll have to search the most recent one. Yes, going offline is needed so downloading the full driver instead of the auto detect is necessary.
give my post a read through for more details but your order of things should be:
-download your full driver and the AMD cleanup utility
-turn off wifi/pull your ethernet
-clear the darktide appdata folder
-use the cleanup utility to go into safe mode and wipe your drivers and it should restart to bring you back out of safe mode
-install the newest driver
-restart again
-go back online and try the game again
Also some general AMD advice for Darktide:
The game hates extra overlays. Turn the AMD one off. There’s a separate popup to confirm that FSR4 is working now so you don’t have to worry about that
Most games are fine with this stuff but Darktide in particular is annoyingly fragile when it comes to being messed with. Set darktide to use your global profile and don’t enable any of that HYPR-RX stuff when asked. FSR4 is fine but turn off surface format optimization and set tessellation to application controlled. Yes that means no anti-lag but that’s fine because it makes the psyker shields all psychedelic. Can’t get bugs like this in any other game
Our builds seem close enough as I have a 7900X so if this doesn’t work then maybe it’s something else with your system

Also just in case, if you’re using a motherboard with gigabytes X3D turbo/boost/whatever option that you set on, turn that junk off. The 9800X3D is already one of the fastest CPUs you can get and there’s no guarantee you won the silicon lottery to boost it even further with something only a single motherboard manufacturer offers. It’s like Intel’s 200S boost, it’s a coin flip whether or not it’ll be stable or not.

i sometimes forget to turn off my ethernet when i gonna downlaod the newst driver and i have a asus motherboard a b850 motherboard
Ah Asus is probably fine as long as you never need a warranty.
And yea it’s annoying but you need to have the whole ritual down for this stuff otherwise Windows will try to have it’s way. I also recommend turning off fast startup like my DDU post mentions. It’s still there buried in the old control panel and a few seconds more of startup time is a fine tradeoff for stability.
