Darktide

Warhammer 40K: Darktide's latest update brings big changes to how players earn gear and modify gear, and looks to be a step in the right direction for a title that has been heavily criticized by fans for feeling incomplete.Patch #4, Blessings of the Omnissiah, revamps numerous aspects of Darktide's progression. For starters, players will always receive a new weapon or piece of gear upon completing a mission, something that curiously wasn't the case until now. Completing missions on higher difficulties…

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is delaying its console release indefinitely to solely focus on fixing issues on the PC version. The game was supposed to drop on Xbox Series S/X shortly after the PC launch in November, but offered no release information prior to this announcement.

Image: Games WorkshopBeginning with Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader in 1987, 40K—as it’s commonly abbreviated—is a sci-fi tabletop wargame, now in the ninth edition of its ruleset. Players build, paint, and collect armies of various human and alien factions, then pit them against each other in competitive battles, vying to control areas of a board or wipe out their opponent’s forces. Unlike Dungeons & Dragons, which utilizes an array of dice for decision-making rolls and combat, everything in Warhammer 40,000 uses…

When I spoke to several teams making games in the Left 4 Dead lineage, they each had some unique thoughts on why the game, and its resulting genre, works. But they also each echoed one similar thought: Pacing reigns supreme. Horde shooters, like Warhammer 40K Darktide, can live or die on the flow of its co-op missions.

Between some performance drops and intermittent crashes, that is. I hit the ground running with Darktide, and I’ve put 30 hours into the PC game prior to its full release. I’ve rounded up a few tips to optimize performance, and will also cover what frame rates…
