LD_PRELOAD="" %command%
Game would Crash on Startup when RT is enabled. I had to disconnect Steam-Cloud and delete the system config-files in %APPDATA% and reinstall them, to get into the game again.
Problem is not Linux related but a Fatshark problem in general. After about 30 min in game it would just randomly start stuttering. Not a hardware or connection issue. It is connected to the player portraits (only god knows how they fckd this up).
LD_PRELOAD="" %command% fixes the issue.
Depends on Fatshark really, cause their code is cursed. First time i installed it worked out of the box with RT on. After the last update nothing worked without tinkering. Maybe we get lucky with the next patch or it's tinkering time again.
LD_PRELOAD="" PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 mangohud gamemoderun %command%
Use launch commands, otherwise it will lag after one mission.
200--400 FPS with MAX Settings, Resolution 2K, FSR 3.1 Quality + FrameGen on. Decals & physics on default.
gamemoderun dlss-swapper mangohud %command%
Most games run fine with other Proton versions by default, though I've encountered occasional missing textures in specific areas. While not game-breaking, it's a persistent annoyance.
gamemoderun mangohud %command%
Settings everything on ultra without rt. 1440p. Fps 70-120. No stutters i had on windows.
Latest version of GE Proton, works without issue like I was playing on Windows.
Using Proton 9.0-4 the game crashes when loading the first mission. With GE-Proton10-3 the games runs fine.
Using default graphics settings (on 2560x1600) it was stuttering and around 25--35 FPS. Just by activating DLSS (everything else left default) the game runs smoothly and mostly at 60 FPS, dropping to 45 FPS at its worst.
don't work
Not starting :c
Everythings works out of the box
Crashes seconds after login.
I have tried multiple proton versions
I have tried multiple versions of proton including GE, tried multiple setting configurations and many many commands but nothing worked. This is the only game I play that forces me to load up windows.
mangohud gamemoderun %command%
Within the games configuration ini file located here:
steamapps\common\Warhammer 40,000 DARKTIDE\bundle\application_settings\settings_common.ini
Change line 57 to:
disable = true
to fix broken LOD issues within the game
-As reported by: MoneyFlo_GG
The models stutter a little in the lobby
My GPU is burning but the game runs good :)
The game runs well given my hardware and even runs smoother than it did on windows. However, this might be the developers doing.

The game would load improper LODs no matter the quality setting. This can be fixed by changing certain settings in the games configuration ini file.
mangohud gamemoderun %command%
Significant graphical freezes for up to 5 seconds at a time. Went away after turning on NVIDEA DLSS with frame generation OFF.
Seems to only work on Proton 8.0-5, anything newer and the launcher hangs before window creation.
gamemoderun %command%
This is a follow up to my previous report. I've found that Proton 8.0-5 is able to get me in game again. Like before, no Proton version newer than this is able to reach the launcher.
When DLSS is tuned on, The game crashes after a while. Assertion failed! Expression: "!status && "vkGetImageViewHandleNVX"" I cannot solve this issue. so I try to set it back without DLSS. I thought DLSS should be enabled with my kind of hardware.
It's a super nice game with great graphics, only with a fairly new NVidia video card I expect that I can run the game comfortably on high settings

Added DLLs, Changed configuration
Current game patch: Nightmares & Visions (05/03/2025)
🐛 Issues
- Severe frame stuttering after the first match following each game launch — renders the game unplayable.
- Minor, persistent microstuttering.
- DLSS options missing from settings menu.
🔧 Fixes
1. Eliminate Severe Frame Stuttering
Set the following launch option:
LD_PRELOAD=""
This completely resolved the heavy stuttering after the first match.
2. Fix Microstuttering & Improve FPS
Edit the following file:
/home/user/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/1361210/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/Fatshark/Darktide/user_settings.config

3. Restore Missing DLSS Options
Followed this Reddit comment.
Steps:
- Download this .run file
- Make it executable:
chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-535.216.01.run - Extract:
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-535.216.01.run -x - Copy nvngx.dll and _nvngx.dll to:

good game if youve got a dlss enabled gpu, and its playable if youre comfortable using generated frames, but far from well optimised
adjusted the rt_lighting_quality to "false" (in user settings config file) for about 3 fps gain, best performance on a 9.xx proton version by ~3%.
on windows i was able to get a solid 90fps with quality fsr on a mix of medium and high settings, and no frame gen, however linux perfomance is barely scraping a 60 (in my experience with rudamentary testing)
rare crashes when adjusting settings that are also handled by the more graphics settings mod
LD_PRELOAD="" %command%
First time selecting fullscreen might cause game to freeze. Close and reopen and full screen should be working.
Steam overlay doesn't work at time of report.
Use LD_PRELOAD="" %command% in your launch options otherwise the game probably won't open. The perfomance issues that occur in windows for this game occur in linux it seems. Not much that can be done other then messing with the settings.
As of the last update the game is no longer able to load the launcher
Game now hangs indefinetly before loading the launcher. Tried Proton Hotfix, Experimental, 9.0-4, and GE-Proton9-27 removing compat data between tries. I also verifyed files, reinstalled the game, disabled steam overlay, and followed the launcher bypass command available on pcgamingwiki, but nothing remedied the problem. When using umu-launcher on Darktide.exe I'm able to get to the title screen, but then am unable to communicate with the fatshark servers.
Tourne parfaitement
No issues out of the box on PopOS AMD System
I was surprised how straightforward it worked. the popup menu is blank, but game worked fine and settings could be adjusted there. Had to change to fullscreen as it was displaying a 1080p window inside a 4k screen.
LD_PRELOAD=" " -use-d3dx11
Disabled raytracing in config file
In the Mourningstar (lobby), it just about gets 60 fps regardless of graphics settings, but something feels off, like its not really 60. In an actual match, I get between 20-30 fps, again, regardless of graphics settings.
the game runs smooth with the latest GE-Proton9-27 I found other versions game me performance issues.
I will continue to try the different versions of proton but the one that gave me the best experience was GE-Proton9-27 I will go back and try 9.0.4 again with my graphic settings now set to how I like them I might see similar performance with that version.
9 out of 10 times AMD driver crashes after a few Seconds in Operator Selection.
LD_PRELOAD="" mangohud gamemoderun %command%
I tried different GEProton and SteamProton Version, aswell as different Launch options.

With all the visual bugs appearing almost all games it can be a real pain to not have a room load or weapon impossible to aim.
Randomly the sound can cut until restart
Missing texture / not appearing making some weapons / decorations looks like a mass of triangle
For some reason the game can decide to run VERY slowly / poor performance
Mostly happened with Proton hotfix
The texture bugs can make some weapons unusable, door appears closed but is open, ground not appearing, randomly freeze and slowdown.
For some reasons Windows has at least twice the performance and wayyyy less visual bugs. My fps are so low i am forced to put the game at medium / low and enable nvidia reflex + FSR to have a " fluid " experience who has 1 chance on 3 to start lagging and freezing when hords appear. ( Third difficulty ) The texture not appearing can be huge : Stairs and walls. Weapons have the bad habit of not loading properly and appear as a mess of pixel hiding the sight. More rarely the game will cut all sounds from the played character.
Proton Hotfix / 9.0-4 have similar issues, tho on the older version of hotfix it was unplayable.
LD_PRELOAD="" %command%
with the added launch option it works flawlessly
Game is flawless with LD_PRELOAD="" in launch options. Without it the game starts lagging after about 30 minutes and needs restarting.
LD_PRELOAD="" mangohud %command%
Played 78 hours with Xbox controller with 0 problems
The only way to progress past the proprietary launcher is to tap the very bottom of the screen and pray you hit the button. Usually takes 3-4 tries.
Darktide was rough early on, but now it runs well and even looks good at the lowest settings. You can comfortably enjoy the game this way. Tinkering highly recommended to get the extra FPS.
after some tinkering it's a good experience with some minor performance issues due to bad optimization
mangohud gamemoderun %command%
substantial fps problems and stuttering. Fixed by enabling frame generation and disabling RT options in the userconfig file.
sometimes connection issues, but probably due to game servers
runs as well as it does on windows (not very, until you turn on framegen, which does work fine). for some reason there's some faces of the dropship that don't render on some stages, but that's the literal only issue
Runs quite well with default settings. GE proton seemed to help with stability issues, but the game itself is poorly optimized and buggy
Stutters when enemy hoardes load, heavy frame drops on particle effects
Crashes more often, but the game already crashed for me in windows
LD_PRELOAD="" mangohud %command%
had to force LD_PRELOAD="" at launch, otherwise after 20 mins the game becomes slideshow on steroids (frametime goes bananas)
No issues, same as Windows
With launch options, game runs great. Same as Windows, if not better in loading times. Playing in 4K native resolution max settings except RT. Upscaling (both FSR and XeSS) also works very well. Not suggesting FSR Frame Gen as, though working, gives flurry icons effect while moving. RT works good but hammers performances, in 4K needs upscaling in Performance mode to have decent framerates (same as observed on Windows as well). 200+ in-game hrs on linux and still playing.
gamemoderun %command%
So you need to play the game first on a 7.x proton version (for the shader cache to run good) You will run into a steam servers connection issue (in game... this is normal) Then you can switch to the 8.x proton version (both GE and valve one) to be able to play on an Intel ARC Gpu. For whatever reasons, the 9.x proton version and experimental ones doesn't work (Mesa Issues, but Intel devs doesn't care, same for Elite Dangerous)
