First step
Most often, after installation, the game will only work up to the initial screen with the «play» button, and then freeze completely, so that only a full reboot will help.

To make the game work, you need to:

1) Go to desktop mode.
2) Go to Steam.
3) In the library, click on Darktide and properties
4) Go to the Compatibility section.
5) Select Proton Experimental.

Done c:

Don't worry if the game freeze a little while selecting an operator, this is normal
Controls
You can also find a control called «Best Controls». These control settings are made by me and they are an optimal solution than the default ones, which do not have most of the active buttons for the game.

You can find them like this:

1) Click the Steam button on the console
2) Click the controller settings on the right.
3) Click the layout icon (where any default name can be)
4) Click the community layouts section
5) Select Best controls

Done!
Settings
On these settings everything works fine even on the difficulty of heresy, when there are hordes
In the graphics just select low and set it up as in the screenshots
Done! Now you can play the game with stable FPS

Save yourself the trouble, the game barely gets 10 frames per second in combat.

The difference isn't huge, so setting both to 60 FPS is usually the better choice

Awesome guide. I was wondering, would setting at 40fps with vsync on. and setting the steam frame limiter to 40 fps give a smoother experience? Or does it not really matter and just set both at 60fps?

It should show up in the community control schemes, there are only about 6 of them. But just in case, I updated it so it can show up there again :reimu5:

I'm afraid I don't see your control sceme listed at all when I'm searching for it
