Crash to desktop /game

just posting a new crash and console log for possible help and have tried many different mesa versions but i know the crashing only started since the new update so i do believe it something with the game as i cant make another game crash.

Did you try to reinstall?
Several had darktide working perfectly, but had to reinstall to see it working with expeditions. Your bug seems different, but if you have not tried, maybe reinstall. Also several said that darktide works better on the OS drive (i have darktide on a different drive).

i did do a re install but will try again on my main drive

Ok reinstalled on main drive game still just crashed. at least using protonGE 34 its just the game most the time

Does the game compile shaders when starting?
If no, you should try to rebuild them.

At least, Claude sees several clues that there is a problem about this.

On my game, I had several return to desktop when I tested the ray tracing. I reduced everything, and the game works now without desktop returns (except when I alt+tab too much… that’s sad, because under linux this is the greatest change when you come from Windows).

So, I would try to rebuild the cache (in steamuser/AppData/Roaming/Fatshark/Darktide - files .pso_lib)
I would also try with minimal GPU settings…

But I suppose you tried everything you can… and I have no extra ideas. Sorry.
