Crashes at the latest AMD graphics driver

Issue Type (Required):

Crash - on Launch

Issue Description (Required):

My graphics card is the RX 9070 XT, and my game crashes as soon as I press the Spacebar to enter the character selection screen. I’m using the latest AMD graphics driver.
However, I can access the character selection screen normally after disabling FSR 4. But I can’t enjoy the game properly without FSR 4 enabled.

Hello! Darktide currently uses FSR version 3.1.4; however, FSR4 may sometimes appear through the AMD driver, as Darktide is listed among AMD’s supported applications for FSR4.

If the crashes occur only when using FSR4, we recommend contacting AMD Support, as they’ll be best equipped to look into this issue for you.

Alternatively, you could try rolling back to driver version 25.9.1, which is considered to be more stable than newer versions.
