Issue Description: This is the 2nd time it happened to me, but I quit, and the game completely froze and would remain overlayed any other window. I couldn’t go to desktop or open any other windows because Darktide would immediately overlay again. The only way I could close it was go to task manager…

Happened again. This time I tried just alt+F4 but it still did it. GUID: da8ccfe4-e381-4713-b99e-1fc95ad02eb8 Log File: Info Type: _ darktide_launcher.log (491.6 KB) console-2023-10-14-22.39.20-1475e0e5-14ea-4a35-ba9b-a7f1d261e724.log (549.0 KB)

And again GUID: 4e6e6a52-f350-41a3-8ecf-61079ce12269 Log File: Info Type: darktide_launcher.log (737.1 KB) console-2023-10-15-01.48.59-6d1c1bc6-b30d-4624-b312-a1b961e449af.log (780.2 KB)

I should have provided an update - if I close the game while alt-tabbed, it still clearly freezes, but it doesn’t necessarily softlock my computer anymore. Don’t know if that helps but I assume is useful info.

I started having this issue when I installed the weapon_customization mod. It stopped for me when I stopped using it. You may want to try disabling it.

I’ve tried it with and without, same issue for both I believe.
