I’ve recently picked V2 up again after a few years break, during which time I’ve upgraded various bits of my PC, including my GPU.
When I start the game, everything works fine. However, after 2-5 minutes, I get a crash to blackscreen, and have to hard reset my PC. This has so far happened just as I’ve loaded into a match, and when I’ve been walking around the keep. Audio cuts out at the same time.
Sounds like either there’s too much strain or not enough juice on GPU, CPU or perhaps overheating.
The other games you mentioned are graphically intensive?
because if not, you might have connected your cable to the onboard graphics card rather than the dedicated card, and your onboard being enough to handle low intensive games. but once you start V2 the strain is too much for the onboard and it shuts off.
same goes for the PCIe cable connecting your powersupply to your GPU, check if its properly inserted in the gpu (completely shut tight) no gap and with a click.
you might have a loose connection with too few pins touching correctly letting
next thing to do is to monitor what happens open your task manager and the game and keep an eye out for spikes and also temperature
GPU running at 100% or close to is normal especially during loading, CPU shouldnt run at a 100% for any extensive time (more than a couple ms)
check if the correct graphicscard is processing the workload and check temperature, there are failsafes in place that shutdown if temp gets too high, the threshholds are different for each manufacturer but they pretty much never allow above 100C°
The other games I run are fairly graphic intensive - certainly too much for an onboard card to handle (Hunt Showdown, Total War Warhammer 3, etc) Around the same level as V2, I’d have thought. My cable is definitely connected to the GPU itself.
I’ve checked the PCIe connections recently, and they’re fine.
I’ve just monitored the temperature, and the GPU was at about 55 degree just before the crash, with the CPU at 66.
that is unfortunate, its going to be a bit more complicated.
you could try
win+R
%appdata%
…/Roaming/Fatshark/Vermintide 2
and delete the content
followed by verifying via steam (this is going to reset your settings).
