I’ve been crashing way too often for way too long (roughly Jan or Feb big update, I forget exactly when it dropped).
At worst sometimes multiple crashes in a single game. I’ve also had fairly frequent (at least once every 3 games) crashes where my monitor will turn black and then turn off while my PC’s fans go into overdrive until I power off the machine.
This ONLY happens on Darktide and Vermintide 2, no other games I play crash or have any type of issues at all (War Hammer Total war 3, Ratchet and Clank, Baldur’s Gate 3, Age of Sigmar Realms - no problems, not even frame rate issues).
I’m really stumped, especially regarding the black screen crashes I’ve completely uninstalled and reinstalled windows and GPU Drivers, BIOS is up to date, I’ve lowered worker counts, lowered graphics settings (game says it should run at max but have tried dropping to the lowest and still crashes) and feel like if tried every other option in the game settings…
Has anyone had these recurring issues / is there any advice? My next thing to try is sending my PC in to see if something needs repairing but I find it kinda sus that it’s only Fatshark games that are having issues and not willing to potentially throw cash away…
Details on how to provide a crash report or console logs are supplied in the link. Sometimes, a crash report isn’t produced, and that’s where the console logs come in handy.
There’s something weird here, so I’ve queried it with our Engine Developers.
In the mean time - do you play Vermintide 2 regularly? There’s an option to switch to DirectX 11 within the launcher’s ‘Settings’ menu (this isn’t possible in Darktide). I’d be interested to see if the issues persist using DirectX 11.
