KNOWN ISSUE: Crashing at Random, Due to GPU-Related Errors

This describes my issue precisely. I have never completed a mission in Darktide (neither in Beta nor in Live). All drivers updated, all settings disabled (bloom, RTX, etc.), and followed every mitigation from the devs… and still crashing at random 100% of the time.

i played for several hours and it was fine, but now it crashes, not sure if its gpu related or not

New Nvidia update, ofc it still crashes.

After 2 or so days of not posting I’ve had roughly 6 crash-to-desktops.
Before the latest Nvidia update, I was able to go 5 or 6 missions before running into a crash, after the update today I can do a single mission, but no matter what settings I change I will always crash halfway through my second.
I’ve restarted my PC, updated drivers, reinstalled shaders, lowered worker threads, lowered settings, used the experimental build, validated files, nearly everything short of installing Windows 10 on another drive to use to play this game (which is honestly an insane measure to play any video game, let alone something like this.)

The only crash that stood out was at one time myself and all 3 of my teammates were in the Hub world, and while 2 of us opened the store at the same time the entirety of team all crashed to desktop. This was yesterday, and out of the 40 or 50 crashes I’ve encountered only 3 have been in the hub and all had to do with interacting with the Weapon/Curio vendor.

Besides that, all my other crashes recently were in the middle of missions with little rhyme or reason, sometimes opening a crate, sometimes throwing a grenade, sometimes just sprinting with 0 enemies on the screen.

This last update may’ve been two steps forward one step back, and to be completely transparent I’m getting awfully tired of not being able to play a game I paid full AAA price for, so I’m just not going to until another hotfix drops.

If you’d like me to try anything else, I’m all ears!

My last crash made it so my post exceeded the link limit, so I have attached it here:

What frustrates me is the cliché one liner that the community manager thinks is acceptable as if ticking a box to tell us absolutely nothing.

“We are aware of this issue and are treating it with priority and working with our partners.” -

Meanwhile, 1200 hours business has lapsed since it was identified. I think this is beyond the scope of their technical ability and they are continuing to sell a product that is not fit for purpose which is ethically wrong.

No longer working, keeps crashing every 2 mins. Must have been a coincident that i was able to stay on for hours last night, its all still a mystery.

The only crash I keep getting is immediately after the post mission rewards screen, at the start of the loading screen to return to the Mourningstar. Is there a solution for this or does anyone know what is likely causing it? I have had this issue since day 1 of pre-order beta. No mid-match or end of match crashes at all. I get the occasional frame drop (briefly) when initially loading into a mission/rendering, which I’m sure is related to my hardware, but other than that I’ve had no real performance issues in any of the betas nor the release version.

It’s a bearable crash only because it happens after the mission rewards are received so I never miss out on experience, ordo dockets, or crafting experience. However, that doesn’t make it any less irritating or frustrating to deal with and if I didn’t have an SSD which drastically reduces game launch and load time I would of quit playing Darktide shortly after pre-order beta started.

Any help, advice, or information on what is causing this would be greatly appreciated. I have put in 265 hours of game time as of this moment. It’d be nice to not have to go the entirity of my next 265 with this crash still present. Lol.

Try setting worker threads to 1 and use the experimental build.

Update from this. I tried adding the code line, changing the number of threads, turning DLSS off… nothing work, kept crashing 1-5 times per mission. What did work and almost completely stopped the crashes is rolling back the 22H2 windows update. I don’t know whats with the update but it completely messed up with the stability of the game. After rolling it back, I very rarely crashed now. During a 5h play session yesterday, I didnt crash once and i was playing with 17 threads. If you are crashing a lot check what version of windows you are on and try rolling it back if its 22h2, it might help.

I was crashing before and after the update unfortunately.
