What’s strange is that, at first, I had no issues at all from the update. Game ran smooth as butter, just like it had for a while.
Then, out of the blue, upon load in on the Morningstar, in under a minute, I’d be hitting 1 fps. I never had any issues before this… and it’s 1 fps, then a few frames fine, then 1 fps. It’s completely unplayable.
Also, I often get an error code 3013 from the servers.
Attempted Solutions (Optional):
This is after verifying the integrity of files, reinstall, updating graphics drivers, and I don’t have any mods.

my gut teels me that this could be the issue. I need to see why this happens. I will ask how i get the launcher log so you can upload this since this is part of the shader cache generation.
I think we just uploaded a new build on the experimental branch.
you can follow the instructions here
please upload a log from that that if the session contained stalls. you find them in %appdata%/fatshark/darktide/console_logs
I should be able to see the stalls in the log then. But we have identified that there is some issue with the pso’s which is likely one culprit, usually these tends to drop off after a while since you will populate a offline cache while playing.
Went back to double check I had done everything correctly, and the line " disable_dstorage = true" Had been deleted from the top of the user settings document. I tried again and the line deleted itself again upon launching the game.
I tried making it read-only, and while it didn’t delete the line this time, it still crashed on launch the same way.

yes, sadly same crash. I pinged AMD about this, since I can’t see what’s crashing in the driver.
Did you use any of the tools below to make sure you cleaned out the old drivers?
AMD Cleanup Utility
Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU)
I think AMD Cleanup Utility was the tool recommended by AMD to make sure you dont have older drivers lingering.
Note that you need to install the driver again, since this likely removes all GPU drivers for your AMD card.
My colleague was recommending as another tool to remove old drivers.
Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU)
If you already did something like this previously when doing a clean install don’t think it helps doing it again. I just know it’s a bit trickier to do a clean install on AMD than Nvidia (that has that as a checkbox during the driver update)
Issue persists. It starts out fine, then within 30 seconds of moving through the morningstar, the frames start to drop. I don’t know if that indicates a memory leak of some kind. Attaching a console log, if that helps.
I apologize. After noticing in Afterburner that my fan speed was zero and my temps very high on my GPU, I looked inside my case.
The mounting brackets for my GPU’s fan shroud had sheared clean off, all four of them. And this is a computer that hasn’t moved in 3 years. The fan, attached to the fallen shroud, was jammed against other components.
So, long story short, I fixed it with zip ties.
Thank you for the hard work and feedback. I am sorry to have taken so much of your time.
