Beyond the Hive update Crash

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Technical Support
1

Issue Type (Required):

Launcher

Issue Description (Required):

When the update first dropped, it auto downloaded on Steam. But every time I hit play on Steam, and then hit play in the Darktide launcher, the game instantly crashes. I have 1. Verified integrity, 2. Restarted Steam, 3. Restarted PC, 4. Reinstalled game, 5. Verified again. Still crashes, after a fresh install. No idea what to do, just wanted to play new update.

And the crash GUID is different every time, and there is no Log File or info type for the crash either. Just a blank crash log.

Mods were disabled/removed from the mod folder BEFORE I hit play for the first time today. So I do not believe they were the issue, as they were not enabled nor present. Especially not after reinstalling.

Steps to Reproduce (Required):

  1. Hit Play Darktide on Steam / open via desktop shortcut
  2. Launcher opens, hit play.
  3. Game instantly crashes.

[PC] Do You Use Mods? (Optional):

Yes, and I’ve tried disabling them

Reproduction Rate (Required):

Constant (100%)

Platform (Required):

PC - Steam

Same issue here but I’m not using mods. Just finishing the fresh install (verifying game files).

It would be much appreciated if you could share the crash report (we only need the GUID) or alternatively upload your most recent console log and darktide_launcher.log with us. :pray:

sorry, thought I did!

Thank you, I realise I recently responded to your Support Portal submission asking if you could share logs with us too. :slight_smile:

Well I verified like, 2 times after fresh installing, and it just works now. No idea what caused this or what happened.

7

Got the solution. On my end the issue was caused by the –lua-heap-mb-size 4096 parametr during startup. When removed, the game starts.

Ohh, maybe verifying removed my optional parameters, that must be the fix!

Verifying doesn’t remove optional parameters. I have verfied game files few times and parameter was still there. Had to remove it manually.

Thanks for the update both! Great to know.

After reinstalling DML/DMF I can confirm the patch doesn’t break them and game should start with mods. The optional parameter for increasing lua heap size is to blame for crashes.

12

Max on that heap is 2048, and is not causing crashes for me at that number.

13

Confirmed. Can start game with heap size of 2048. The default is 1024 or 512, right?

1024
