I am also experiencing this exact same crash. It seems for me at least, to be tied to having frame gen turned on. Doesn’t matter x2, 3 or 4.

I’m on a 5080, 9800x3d.

Running driver 581.94

Super frustrating as I’d like to have framegen enabled.

I’ll add the crash reports when I’m back to my pc

Hey Rip, I’m curious as to whether Frame Gen is also causing this for you as mentioned by Archnium above?

Yes it probably is, im going to try playing without FG tonight and see if it still occurs, TY!

Let me know how it goes. Also, do you stutter when trying to emote on the mourning star with fg enabled as well? That’s another thing I’ve noticed- not sure if it’s related to the crashing or not.

OMG YES, that stutter after comms wheel is soo annoying, i guess since u said that, i think we should list our specs

asus dark hero mobo

MSI shadow x3 5070ti

so I played without the frame gen, no crashes BUT my frames were SOO bad while streaming, getting freaking 30fps in 2k without frame gen. So after stream, this is what I did

I went into windows safe mod, used DDU, set ddu to shut down with new graphics card setting, then I reseated the GPU

then clean installed drivers again

now I have just ran a game, had good frames with and without frame gen, no crashes yet

will keep posted if it reoccurs, i wonder if it was reseating that fixed or the DDU

(still have that small stutter after comms wheel, but it does seem to be less severe)

Definitely keep me posted.

I get some pretty awful dips without framegen as well so it would be ideal to be able to use it.

I wonder if it’s related to 50 series cards, msi cards or both.

I’ve got a Msi suprim soc 5080, Gigabyte Aorus Elite mobo, 9800x3d

I also use DDU before installing new drivers. I’m currently on 581.94, was in 572.83 before that.

I may also try reseating my graphics card if you continue to have good results!

Thanks for the update

So I decided to uninstall my drivers with DDU and reinstall them again. 581.94

I still get the large stutters when opening the emote wheel but so far I haven’t crashed.

I’m not really sure what changed from this install from the last, but I’ll take it.

Will update if the issue comes back.

Also thanks for the videos and the builds!@RipTheJacker33

edit: had it happen again. :confused:

Update: I reseated my gpu. Have tried multiple combinations of in game settings as well as Nvidia settings all with little to no changes in the frequency or randomness of these crashes.

Sometimes I can go a couple hours between these crashes or sometimes I can’t even load into a match.

Framegen is %100 the culprit for me here. But playing without it isn’t not really an option. Even with most settings turned off or sliders cranked down, dlss enabled rtx off I’m seeing fps dips into the low 90s.

Which, isn’t terrible I suppose other than my frame times being all over during these dips causing the game to feel like a stuttery mess.

But on this top of the line hardware it’s rather disappointing.

In fact, I’m running the same in game settings as I used to on my 3080, 5800x3d. Except on that system I had amds fsr framegen enabled and was locked at a constant 108fps without dips.

I can’t get fsr framegen to work now for some reason.

I wonder if these issues/crashes are 50series related. Any help or suggestions would be amazing :folded_hands: @FatsharkJulia

Hey! I’ll raise this with our Engine crew. :slight_smile:

Thank you for watching them! I had the crash happen once since I did all the reinstalling drivers and stuff, but the frequency seems less, i went almost like 2 days without one, just had one happen. yeah idk what changed since the clean install and reseating

so last night i begrudgingly deleted the appdata folder even tho it took me hours to get my mod settings squared away and builds got deleted. noticed an immediate fps increase without fg on, will have to test with FG tonight.

so i turned off cloud save, deleted the darktide appdata folder, then verified my files.

Arch wanted to let you know i found out whats causing the stutter after comms wheel and chat.

Sadly it is dlss that is causing this, with no dlss or FG u get no stutter, with dlss off and frame gen on, u still get stutter.

I’ve noticed the same thing. Unfortunately after the hive scum update I’m seeing huge dips in fps so having either of those settings off isn’t really an option. Here’s hoping we get some performance centered updates soon.
