Issue Type (Required):
Crash - on Launch
Issue Description (Required):
Hello,
First, I’m not sure if this is considered “Crash after building shader cache” or just “crash on launch” so I just picked the latter.
I’ve been having an issue with my game crashing on launch off and on for a while now. It seems to happen at random times and then fix itself at random times, and I haven’t been able to figure out what’s causing it. For example, it happened about a week ago for a couple of hours and when I went to make this post, I tried to generate another crash report, but it just launched normally with no issue. My graphics drivers up to date, it happens whether I have mods enabled or disabled, I’ve tried deleting the the Darktide folder in appdata and verifying game files, uninstalling and reinstalling, and even installing on a different drive.
To reproduce, I launch from steam, start the game from the launcher, the building shader cache popup comes up, completes, and then the game launches to a black screen, but before any visuals load it hard crashes to desktop.
I’m sure the issue will probably fix itself in a bit, but I’m hoping to at least see why it might be happening so I can try to prevent it in the future. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
