Crash to Desktop on Every Mission - New Issue

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Technical Support
1

Been playing the pre-order beta with very few significant issues since it came out. Everything was working fine until a couple of hours ago.

Around 23:40 UK time, I started playing a mission and the game froze, then crashed to desktop. Since then, the same crash has been occurring about 10 seconds into any mission I load into. Tried using the new experimental branch, with no luck. Lowering settings doesn’t seem to affect it at all.

Most recent crash had the following log:

GUID: 3677d43c-3408-4b9f-bb02-714f6d5ec80d

I’ve attached the console logs from the past five attempts.

Quick update on this; taking a look through the console logs, it seems as though the game is searching for a file that doesn’t exist in the directory. I’ve verified the game files through Steam several times now, but the crashing persists.

Hope this helps to narrow it down. I’ve got no idea how to resolve this.

Can you try disabling your anti-virus?

Hadn’t thought of that. I’ll give it a go when i get a chance and see what happens. If it still occurs, I’ll do a clean install and check it out again. Thanks for the advice!

No luck, sadly. Trying a clean install now.

Update here!

Doing a clean reinstall fixed this specific crash. I’m now getting the post-mission CTD on the rewards screen, but that seems like a known issue at this point.
