sadly updating my drivers didnt solve the problem same crash

4

steps i tried : disabled all overlays, disabled almost every single mod, lowered worker-threads (6), reinstalled darktide, updated all drivers . Also here is a console log

This appears to be due to the mod ‘VFX Swapper’.

6

This log doesn’t have any crash in it. Are you able to find the one from the time of the crash?

Edit: I should also mention that VFX Swapper is generally considered safer than the various fx mods it was created to replace.

i actually turned off VFX swapper and no crashes since then :slight_smile:
