The 1.0.14 Hotfix has still not done anything to fix the start up crash on Radeon R9s. Have ensured OS and GPU are running the most recent drivers, and have validated the game with no corrupted files, but game still crashes after 2nd splash screen.

Any update on what is happening with the crashes on Radeon R9 Fury cards?

AMD website has that series as being out of support for new updates. So is the game broken for those cards now? I havenā€™t been able to start the game since beta ended, despite doing everything short of a full system reinstallation.

I bought Darktide on Steam last week but it keeps crashing. As soon as I click play it comes up with the message

Computer Information:

Something went wrong in the Shader Cashe builder process.
Exit Code = 1.

I updated my AMD drivers to the latest version and clicked play. The game loaded up but even with more than the medium settings which the Darktide set for it self to say that my laptop meets the minimum specs to play the game the game was really slow and unplayable.

I had to restore my laptop to last known good because after i installed the new AMD GFX drivers the rest of my laptop slowed down and all my games became unplayable.

Please can you let me know if you are working on a patch to make Darktide work with my AMD Ryzen GFX card as I really want to play this game.

I just got the Radeon RX 7900 XT and I had a crash on launch of this game, but I re-tried and got the game to load up. The issue iā€™m facing is that when I load in, nothing shows on the screen. I can see player names, and my name card in the bottom left but nothing else. My husband got the same card, I installed for him while he was at work, and heā€™s experiencing the same issue.

I installed these new GPUs 12/21/22 and it has been updated with AMDā€™s drivers.

My specs:
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT
MB: MSI B450 Tomahawk Max
Amt of RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32gb (4x8gb)
PSU: Cooler Master 750w

Hubbyā€™s specs:
CPU: Ryzen 9 3900x
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT
MB: MSI B450 Tomahawk Max
Amt of RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32gb (4x8gb)
PSU: 1000w

We both have Windows 10.

Attached is a screenshot of my view

It has been over a month since 1.0.12 hotfix broke the game on Radeon R9 Fury cards with still no fix or update as to when this issue will be resolved.

At this point I am ready to request a refund because I didnā€™t spend $40 to play a beta for two weeks only to have the ā€œcompleteā€ game broken to the point of being completely unusable.

I have done everything short of a full OS reinstallation to try and get Darktide to run again and nothing has fixed the issue.

To those at Fatshark:
Iā€™m a huge fan of the Warhammer Series, and love Darktide, the game is greatly entertaining, and a lovely addition to the Warhammer universe. I preordered the game after having played the beta, and loved every moment. Shortly after release, I found the game refusing to launch, and have been unable to play forā€¦ I suppose over a month now. I have been patiently waiting for an update which would solve my issue. My drivers are all up to date, I tried every troubleshooting method available, and yet have had no luck. I can only determine that the issue is something to do with the game itself, as I detect no issues with my pc.

With such a long time of waiting and being unable to play, I have finally decided to follow Fatsharkā€™s instructions on crash reporting as effectively as I am able. And I can only hope that my issue is somehow resolved as a result of this, or at least that it be resolved some time soon such that I may be able to enjoy the product I paid for.

I hope that the crash log, and console log, are of help. I believe I provided them correctly, although I may be mistaken.

May The Emperor Guide You

Sincerely, Lord Woods.

Any update on this?

I had over 90hrs in prior to this issue, and Iā€™m a bit frustrated with how weā€™ve waited for a resolution, or even an update of some kind.

Honestly, at this point Iā€™d request a refund on Steam if I hadnā€™t gone over on their time limit.

Hello - any update on this? I have a 6700xt and am affected too. Thank you

Hi,

I CAN run the game but the performance is AWEFUL. I get 60fps at best in the hubworld when I lower settings.
I get 40fps in missions

I want to mention it because even if the issue with most users crashing there is a further issue with performance on these cards.

Hello, I am using an AMD Radeon RX 7600. I was previously playing on a friends NVIDIA powered laptop and had no graphical or performance issues. Upon starting this game on my desktop, I have had issues with graphical fidelity, extreme framerate drops, and now, crashing. If it does not crash, the game refuses to load. i will get an error regarding signing in, after which time, the game does not load.
