Issue Type (Required):
Crash - on Launch
Issue Description (Required):
Can’t launch since "Hotfix #65 (1.7.3)
I am able to get past the title screen to character select, but I crash after selecting a character/starting the game.
after reading date from disk (quicker than usual) it gets hung up on “Waiting for other players(s)”
Afterwards I get either a Fatal Error popup about failing to read OR an ingame message saying “Synchronization Error, unable to synchronize with other players (error code 1)”
Like many others, I have verified game file integrity countless times, reinstalled twice, attempted deleting the bundles referenced in the crash log and verifying files, enabled experimental version with the necessary edits to the config, defragged my HDD and updated my drivers.
At a total loss. I was able to play fine before this patch.

Make sure that your game files are not corrupt by in steam. Contact support if this still occur after verifying the game files.
Upload Supporting Evidence (Optional):
Your drivers appear to date back to December, is the crash report from before you updated them perhaps?
Updated drivers and was able to load into the mourningstar briefly.
Tried joining a match and recieved the the error message attached.
Also tried deleting the “Darktide” folder in roaming and verifying files again.
I tried the fix in which you edit the user config file in roaming and adding the extra lines, that the changes are undone upon launching the game. There’s also additional lines within the config relating to mods that I’ve already uninstalled (uninstalled modloader as well)
Is there a reason my edits are being overwritten?
After speaking with our Engine Developers, the suspicion is that this could be a hardware-related issue.
Unfortunately, we’re not able to narrow down the cause. We can only recommend running through any remaining solutions here:
[PC] How to Resolve Data Corruption Errors
Failing that, I can assist with processing a refund for you.
Dammit.
Refund won’t be necessary. I have 793hrs. top 10 fav games.
Guess I’ll keep looking for other fixes online.
Thanks.
I fixed it!
Ran CHKDSK /r and it scanned and repaired sectors in the hardrive
After restarting the computer, I did a clean reinstall and it resolved all the issues
If anybody else runs into a similar issue, try reccomending the steps I tried.
Thanks for helping me narrow it down
