I forgot to mention that I had to update my Nvidia driver to the latest 527.56 (somehow I missed this update). For some reason this update forces me to install the geforce experience. 10 games now and still no crash, X fingers . I even change settings in mission to get a balance of visual and smoothness. I get a bit of stutter in horde.

Nice to hear there is a new expi build is helping, small consolation but it’s something.

P.S. My dude, your video card has more (V)RAM than your system, consider adding more to awaken the machine spirit RAM :slight_smile:

Issue Description:
Hello, since a few days the game started to crash randomly. I can play one mission normaly but after that the game crashes every few minutes. Today it even crashed in the first loading screen. My screens just went black and there is no more input from my graphics card. I tried to make a clean install of the graphics driver and installed the game on antoher drive but it seems it just made everything worse

Thank you!

Gave the experimental branch a try, seems better-ish? Still display driver error/recovery a lot though. 3 crashes in an hour of play, that’s a lot better than the 32 crashes over 4 hours of play on previous version.

Errors always come in sets of 3, two small stutters followed a few seconds apart by a crash to menu or crash to desktop.

Hey there,

I just wanted to say THANK YOU for that beta code. I have an i9 13900k and RTX 4090 and have not been able to play the game since launch as it would crash 2-3 times per match. No amount of setting tweaking would sort this, and none of my friend with 4000 series could play either. This is the first time we played 3 matches in a row as a group, without a single glitch! I am so happy, whatever it is you changed, it’s working!

can someone tell me the code to access the experimental beta branch please? as i’m still suffering from this crashing issue, and would like to try it

thanks

already crashed again tho :frowning:

Playing on experimental right now, with medium settings and NO Framcap.
also removed the appdata DARKTIDE folder and validated steam files.

4 rounds back to back no crash which was before not possible. Lets see how long it goes that way.
Will reply back tomorrow or when it crashes.

Also noticed that in the user config file that there is two different “max worker threads” lines with two seperate values. Is that odd or?

This game should not have released in this flaky state.

any chance you could update the top of this thread, to show that? just in case someone else is having the same issue finding it as i did

Yeah, at the time I decided to spec on some high mhz RAM and blow the budget with the 16 instead of 32gb, but i’ll get me some more eventually lol.

Giving an update on the experimental build, I played a bit more, 3 or so levels and no crashes at all here so far with since switching to this version, tried both low and high gfx presets with unlock fps.

Is it worth even posting these reports anymore?

no crashes so far since I changed to the beta branch.
R9 3900x and 3080

Using beta branch and had roughly one crash in ~5-6 games. Much better than the normal branch but still crashed once. Will update once I have had more time with it. Before I would crash 3 times per map unless I set my thread count to 1.
