Crashing when opening inventory

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Technical Support
1

Issue Type (Required):

Crash - During Play

Issue Description (Required):

I am crashing very frequently when trying to open up inventory and switch weapons. I have been crashing more frequently since the last major update before Hive Scum release. I have done clean install of drivers, reinstalled game after deleting app data. I have not turned mods back on since the patch today.

When I open inventory or try to go into weapon select, the game and computer freeze visually for 15-20 seconds and then the game crashes out. But it is very frequent now.

[PC] Do You Use Mods? (Optional):

Yes, and I’ve tried disabling them

Reproduction Rate (Required):

Often (<75%)

Platform (Required):

PC - Steam

Hi Julia, I still seem to be getting some crashing. I lowered the worker threads from 21 to 11. I have a clean install of my drivers and everything. At least I seem to be able to open my inventory and change around my weapons, but I still crash in other menus at times. Here are the last couple of crashes

Noted - I’ve reached out to the team for their advice, and I’ll report back.

Quick q; have you intentionally disabled “Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling”? This can be located under Settings → System → Display → Graphics Settings

IT was not intentional to disable the GPU scheduling. I turned it on and played a bit over lunch, but still managed to crash again.
