Warhammer 40,000: Darktide started its final release about two weeks ago with major problems: A largely deficient technology with performance problems and frequent crashes, as well as missing content that was promised for the release, caused trouble.
In our review, we too came to the conclusion that it would have been better to postpone the release of Darktide or at least start it in Early Access:

What’s next for Darktide?
Fatshark confirms that not all technical problems have been solved. The next update should fix further GPU crashes and provide bug fixes for the annoying error codes 4008 and 2007.
In addition, we firmly believe that the crafting will finally be complete with the next major update in order to curb the much-criticized random factor in the hunt for prey.
