System: QTJ1 (9900k analogy) processor 8/16 threads 16 mb l3 cache, 4,5 8 core clock atm
GPU - GTX 1070
16 ram
Windows 10 last updates
Everything OCed, memory timings optimised, works stable

Without streaming game works good, never or almoost never crashes for client reasons at all.

Dont know why crashes happen when streaming
One day works good. Other day crashes every 15 mins.
Or several hours work good, but when use together with discord voice - crashes again a lot.

Program - Streamlabs OBS
1920-1080 resolution, tried different quality, different bitrate. On higher quality crashes happen more often.
Streaming method with QuickSynk hardware (with intel integrated video core) - crashes most often (but also it does least impact to prerformance, so i though it was good option. Like -3-5 fps drop in all cases)
With NVENC fps drops a lot more (-10-15 everywhere, while overall fps is on bortder of playability. Game behavior different, but crashes still occur, often huge frame drops on stream start before it)

While QuickSynk method video capture active and even without stream, just OBS running, game crashes also.

I have no known solution for this unfortunately, but I have been able to identify your crashes in our crash reporter and have raised the issue to our database!

I found that crashes happen more often with incresing load on decoding chip. And since I use offset
voltage reduction for CPU OC and my motherboard cannot control voltage for core and uncore parts separetly, offset works for everythihing inside cpu.
I removed offset voltage, so now it works on default, and I managed to play several maps without crashes with good bitrate and quality.
But sometimes crashes still happen. Before and after recent patch too.
Becoome better, but problem not solved completely.

Okay, I also understood that processor voltage has no impact here, it was just coincedence.

With increasing load on decoder (by using web cam and improving quality) causes blue screens for me after some time of playing, sometimes several hours, sometimes half an hour.

Without streaming everything work good and ofc no bsods.

I repeat, I try to use quicksynk for streaming darktide.

Looks like I understood reason of my crashes. Somehow when enabling integraated video on processor, overall voltage on memory become not enough to sustain stability. I raised DRAM voltage on 1 point and got stable work again.

That waas totally issue of my pc
