### Issue Type (Required):

Crash - During Play

### Issue Description (Required):

## The game closes without any indication it is struggling within minutes of beginning gameplay. I’ve tweaked all the video settings hoping that the game would run. It does not struggle to keep up with frame rate or anything, just closes the game. GUID: 256186db-df9d-40d4-81ab-ca3c9109ac27 Log File: Info Type:

Due to your PC losing responsiveness I recommend looking in to whether this is driver or hardware-related. It’s likely this issue will start to present outside of Darktide too if this is the case. Please see:

Thank you so much for responding. The problem does present outside of Darktide, I was having a very similar problem playing the new ARK and bought Darktide with the refund. Do I need to buy an upgraded driver?

Update: BIOS update fixed it! Thank you
