### Issue Type (Required): Crash - During Play ### Issue Description (Required): My game just refuses to play properly. Initially I was getting a different engine access error, so I tried a few remedies and it has only resulted in changing the error message of the crash. Here’s the short version: 1. Disabling nvidia overlay changed the first engine access error to a device hung error 2. fresh driver installation using DDU, sfc repair of windows, and verifying game files changed the device hung error to a different engine access error that plagues me now (it is the same error with or without mods installed) ### [PC] Do You Use Mods? (Optional): Yes, and I’ve tried disabling them ### Reproduction Rate (Required): Constant (100%) ### Platform (Required): PC - Steam ### Player ID (Optional): > **[Steam Community :: Rendoid](https://steamcommunity.com/id/rendoid)** > > ... ### [PC] Crash Report (Optional): ## GUID: 5b991612-52c5-47f7-849f-511b38480740 Log File: Info Type: [Engine Error]: Access violation

Hey Rendoid, it might be a loadout-related issue. Please: ### Step 1: Disable Steam Cloud Saving If Steam Cloud saving is enabled for Darktide, this may automatically restore the AppData and consequently cause the issue to resurface. 1. Navigate to your Steam library 2. Right-click Darktide 3. Select ‘Properties’ 4. On the ‘General’ tab, scroll down to ‘Steam Cloud’ 5. Disable ‘Keep game saves in the Steam Cloud for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide’ ### **Step 2: Delete AppData** **NOTE** : By deleting your AppData, custom keybindings and loadouts will be reset. You may wish to make a back-up of the directory in the event deleting your AppData does not work to resolve the issue. 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 ‘Darktide’ directory ### Step 3: Verify Integrity of Game Files You will then need to use the ‘Verify Integrity of Game Files’ option, which is accessible via the Steam client and will ensure the installation is complete. 1. Right-click Darktide in your Steam library sidebar 2. Select ‘Properties’ 3. Select the ‘Local Files’ tab 4. Select the ‘Verify Integrity of Game Files’ button 5. When complete, close and reopen Steam ---

I tried these methods to no avail. As I was just about out of options, I decided to update the bios on my motherboard as a sort of hail mary play. Lo and behold, I have not had a crash since. Just wanted you to know what ultimately fixed my issue in case others have similar problems. I can even use mods and run the nvidia overlay again with no problems.
