Crash upon character Loading

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Technical Support
1

Issue Type (Required):

Crash - on Launch

Issue Description (Required):

Each time I load in a character, My game either crashes immediately upon loading onto the Mourningstar, or if it loads into the game, as soon as I take any sort of the following action:

  1. Taking a step
  2. opening menu
  3. tabbing out of the game
  4. moving mouse to look around the game.

Sometimes I get a helpful crashlog, other times it just gives me short ones that dont seem to be helpful (pasted below)

I have additionally tried all the applicable methods here (https://support.fatshark.se/hc/en-us/articles/7709661288733--PC-How-to-Resolve-Crashes-in-Darktide)

Thank you for the help
