So, for those looking for ways to reverse error code 4008 in Darktide, it should be said that it’s not likely a result of anything you did. You can rest easy knowing that it’s probably a result of the servers being a tad overloaded. But, there are some methods to fixing this problem that you can try, if you’re up to it.

If necessary, give your router a quick restart, and if the error code was created as a result of connectivity issues, it should resolve. While you’re at it, you can also try restarting your PC.

In any case, aside from those methods — and deleting / re-downloading the game — the best fix is one of patience. Ideally, developer Fatshark will issue a patch to fix error code 4008 in the near future.
