(I just wanted to make a quick note that I am unable to change any video settings besides the ones I am able to from the launcher. My game crashes every time I try to click video settings in game.)

Hi @Huey2000,

I responded to your support ticket, but I’ll reply here also!

There appears to be an issue with your FSR settings. Can you please try the following -

Delete your Vermintide 2 AppData directory:
(Please note, by doing so you will lose any custom configurations/settings e.g. keybinds)

  1. Press the Windows key + R
  2. Enter %appdata% within the search input and select ‘OK’
  3. Navigate to: AppData\Roaming\Fatshark
  4. Delete the entire 'Vermintide 2 directory
  5. Launch Vermintide 2

Clean reinstall of your GPU drivers:

Please let me know how this goes.
