===Hitches when moving around in the game===
 +
{{mm}} The game can slightly hitch very briefly when moving around in the environment of the game, especially when walking into new rooms. This is independent from settings or hardware, and is not shader compilation-related as shaders are pre-compiled for this game. It is likely related to loading.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgz8hvLEjZo|title=Warhammer 40,000 Darktide PC - DF Tech Review - Optimised Settings, Performance Analysis + More - YouTube|date=2022-12-08}}</ref>

Hitches when moving around in the game

The game can slightly hitch very briefly when moving around in the environment of the game, especially when walking into new rooms. This is independent from settings or hardware, and is not shader compilation-related as shaders are pre-compiled for this game. It is likely related to loading.[9]

Issues fixed

Issue

Bypass launcher
  1. Right-click Warhammer 4,000: Darktide in Steam library
  2. Click Properties
  3. Paste the below into Launch Options
  4. Ensure <path-to-game> matches your installation
"<path-to-game>\binaries\Darktide.exe" %command% --bundle-dir ../bundle --ini settings --backend-auth-service-url https://bsp-auth-prod.atoma.cloud --backend-title-service-url https://bsp-td-prod.atoma.cloud

You should launch the game normally (Remove the above launch option temporarily) after video driver updates and game patches to make sure the shader cache is up-to-date.
