Sorry to hear this @Ivvan3016
It’s a shot in the dark, but does the crashing persist after performing a clean reinstallation of Darktide? This will ensure a clean slate for your installation and settings, in case the underlying issue is there (please note custom settings e.g. graphics, keybinds etc. will be reset):

Other general things worth checking -
- Ensure you have latest Windows updates installed
- Check your GPU drivers are up-to-date
Please let me know.
Yes, I tried to delete appdata, reinstall the game and even reinstall the system according to the correct process, but the problem did not improve. All drives are up to date
Hm okay sorry to hear that 
It’s another shot in the dark, but outdated BIOS can lead to instability. It may be worth checking if any BIOS update is available - though as this is a firmware update, we always advise caution and to do so at your own risk.
I have updated the BIOS and it is now the latest version supported but nothing changes
i9-13980HX
I think the iGPU on your CPU is the problem

However before you go on any ambitious search for a solution, you got the 591.86 driver. DDU it away together with all the shaders and rollback to older driver, preferably one from August 2025!
I have tried replacing older drivers and cleaning shaders, but the problem has not been resolved. I am currently considering whether the problem is caused by CPU Vmin Shift Instability. It’s interesting that during the process of solving the problem of dark tide, the Hell divers 2, which have the same problem of crash previously, was able to operate normally.
