Quick update, I managed to fix the issue by digging around in the AMD adrenaline edition app settings regarding Darktide, turns out I had some feature on that I wasn’t aware off that was causing the crash.

Appreciate the update! Glad you were able to resolve things.

Curious, what was the specific feature you had enabled that was the culprit? In case this information may be helpful to others if they experience similar.

Thanks in advance!

Hey there, from what I saw it was an resolution scaling tool called AMD XGP supported with ai. It suposedly boosts your FPS and has somenthing to do with FSR scaling. That really all I could get from the description.

^^Also including a picture I got from their website about the whole thing.
