**Issue Description:**  
Loading screen for any mission produces 100% CTD during the briefing.

It’s a bit frustrating as until the last patch I couldn’t go through the prologue without a crash at one specific point and now that is solved there is another wall … Thanks for working on this, though!

Hi @Cetegus_Morr,

Sorry to hear that ☹

It’s a shot in the dark, but could please try Verifying Integrity of Game Files to see if this makes any difference?

1. Right-click Darktide in your Steam library sidebar
2. Select ‘Properties’
3. Select the ‘Local Files’ tab
4. Select the ‘Verify the Integrity of Game Files’ button
5. When complete, close and reopen Steam

In any case, I’ve added this crash to our database for investigation. We’re on it!

Good shout. 64 files failed to validate and got reacquired.

It seems to work now. 🙂

Thank you!
