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!

In the graphics just select low and set it up as in the screenshots

Done! Now you can play the game with stable FPS
