Hi IstNamu. This is a GPU-related error, and my recommendation is to run through the solutions here:

[PC] How to Resolve GPU Crashes in Darktide

Don’t worry about the mention of the D: drive, it’s a reference to our builds. :slight_smile:

Thanks a lot! Seems that my GPU driver crashed with window 11 25H2 version :frowning:
