Driver timeout has occurred

Issue Type (Required):

Crash - During Play

Issue Description (Required):

I’ve noticed that every time I play the game with raytracing enabled, the game will crash to desktop and so will the AMD drivers. So I’ve went ahead and tried to isolate the issue. I first deleted and reinstalled the game clean without mods and the AMD Radeon drivers with DDU. I then checked https://support.fatshark.se/hc/en-us/articles/7709667528349--PC-How-to-Resolve-GPU-Crashes-in-Darktide and followed the steps inside, no overclock on GPU or CPU either. The only constant being Ray Tracing enabled. Without it I can play without any issues but with raytracing enabled it will crash to desktop after 20 minutes or so, every time. I really like this game and I do wish to play with ray tracing at some point cause it looks insane with it. If there’s any other details you need, please let me know.

I’ve shared this with our contacts at AMD. Thank you for reporting!

I’ve discovered what the issue is. it’s the RAM. When running at 6000Mhz with AMD EXPO profile it will crash the game if raytracing is on. If I set the RAM back to default at 4800Mhz everything is fine. Thank you.

UPDATE: it happens with 4800 as well. so I don’t know what is going on. Again and it always happens with raytracing enabled.
