@horsinaround this is an unusual crash - which I think is to do with a shader issue.

Can you please try the following:

- Uninstall your current GPU drivers using a dedicated driver removal tool e.g. DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller), and reinstall clean GPU drivers
- If the crash persists, perform a clean reinstallation of Darktide, which involves deleting your AppData (please note custom settings e.g. graphics, keybinds, loadouts etc. will be reset):

Please let me know how this goes.
