Game crashes while playing, but only on certain level types (Examples: Throneside missions, Carnival missions, Chasm Terminus missions).
Metalfab, Hourglass, Torrent and Void missions seem to be working fine.
I have verified the files of the game via Steam more than a few times. Let me know if I can try something. I’m currently running a 1080Ti with the latest drivers, so I’m not sure if this is the known issue that has been affecting a lot of people as the message is different.

[PC] Crash Report (Optional):
Load a Chasm Terminus mission (example in the logs).
Play for awhile. After some time, all music and character VO vanish, leaving only FXs such as shooting, stabbing, running, alarms and enemy NPC audio cues.
After a bit of time (could be a few minutes of play, could be less) the game crashes with the following error:

Thanks Julia, is there a general thread for this issue that I can follow, if it’s affecting more people or will you be able to update here in this thread if they get the chance to have a look?
Hi Julia, any updates? I got the new DLC and I’d love to see how the story rework is going, but I find it very hard, when the game crashes on half the levels…I tried downgrading the video drivers, still the same, updated to the newest ones, no changes there…I changed the video settings to low - no luck.
I’ve played darktide since the Beta and I have about 970 hours of playtime on it, bought skins, dlcs to support you guys and I love the game I stuck through all the bugs, crashes and disconnects and I’d love to continue playing the game, but I really need some help with this…
This is the latest crash logs, please let me know if there’s anything I could try:

I’ve checked the issue in our database, and there’s no updates on the case unfortunately. I understand this is disappointing, and I hope to have something to share soon.
