Is there any way to use the experimental branch through Xbox Gamepass (PC)?
Experimental branch:
Are we going to get any compensation in the way of a ton of crafting materials for all the crashing weāve had to put up with?

Iāve tested the experimental branch for seven missions now. No crashes so far. Iāve raised worker threads to five and use the same graphical settings as before and Iām getting around 60-80 frames (capped to 80). The frames are pretty much the same as before, but the lower end of frames feel smoother. Even at 60 the game felt sluggish and it felt like some inputs didnāt register at all.

Info Type:
Error Displayed (If Applicable):
Windows Event Viewer reports two Errors, both ānvlddmkmā
Steps to Reproduce:
Having worker threads >1 causes the game to crash to desktop. Cinematics always cause a crash.
Mission Name (If Applicable):
N/A
Platform:
Steam
Player ID:
Phobos89
Approx. Time of Issue & Timezone:
[12/23/2022, 11:40AM] [EST]
Reproduction Rate:
Constant
Upload Supporting Evidence:
Uninstalled/re-installed the game.
Uninstalled/re-installed GPU drivers.
Verified game files.
Only workaround is the Worker Threads = 1. Iāve been able to play the game without any crashes as of yet, though the game runs awfully. Almost a full month out from the official launch, and I canāt even utilize my PCās full potential due to this issue that has persisted since the launch Beta.

The frequent crashing is 100% as bad as it was when this game was released.

Just spent 25 mins in a high hazard 5 mission and i get a crash at the end while leaving & canāt rejoin in time.
Lost all my materials, chance of a emp & MY TIME was wasted.
If you canāt reproduce it on your specific system, how about trying it on a system that is having these problems.
Surely 1 of your hundreds of staff will have crashing on their pc. Or maybeā¦ just maybeā¦ in future donāt put out a broken product, delay your game until itās actually ready.
But noooo. you had to release it in this state. Iāve lost all faith in this company, iāve supported you through Vermintide 1 & 2, bought all dlcās every cosmetic & put up with your BS with and you still do the same crap.
I must be the idiot for still buying your products right?
Iāve never owned a game in a state as poorly as this, even Diablo 3 wasnāt this bad on launch, jeez.. if i remember correctly they even closed down the game for around 2 weeks to fix the issues.
And we still havenāt received an apology for this crap.
Even though itās pointless here:

Re the last stable patch: Is this related to EAC_EOS being removed (dll still in)?
Hi.
I have another thing you are welcome to try, and get back to me with wether it does any difference or not. It is to disable the mesh streamer, this will cause the game to require much more VRAM than usual, so if you have low VRAM (6Gb or so) this might not work for you.
Anyway, to disable the mesh streamer, browse to the games steam files.
Locate the file settings_common.ini in the folder bundle\application_settings
In that file, locate the section that says: mesh_streamer_settings = { ā¦ }
and change the ādisable = falseā to ādisable = trueā and save the file.
while youāre at it, or rather, if the mesh streamer hack doesnāt do anything for you, you can also try to disable the multi threaded texture streamer by changing the value
threaded_streamer = true to threaded_streamer = false in the section called feedback_streamer_settings = { ā¦ }
Disabling the threaded texture streamer will most likely degrade your performance slightly. Just so you are aware. But I am interested in seeing if any of these actions helps for you who experience these crashes all the time.

Iāll try this now and get back to you whether it has any impact. Sorry for my ranting btw, itās just that i love the game & simply want it to stop crashing.

Quick update for me: I have been playing for the last 6 hours and have not had a single crash. I cannot say that this has fixed it for me but it is a significant improvement. Currently using 13/16 threads. One thing to note is I have my max FPS set to 60 in both nvidia control panel and in-game settings due to another workaround thread. I am going to remove the 60 fps limit and see if the game still crashes. I will report back.
Update: I had a single crash on the desert map since removing the fps limit. Overall this experimental patch has been a huge improvement over the main branch. It has eliminated 95% of my crashing. Thank you for working on this!
I must say, disabling DLSS seems to make the game crash less. Donāt get me wrong, it still crashes too often to be acceptable but I feel like I get like 2x less crashes just by disabling DLSS. Try it guys and let us know if thatās the case for you as well.

Personally for me, itās every other game iām crashing, i play one game fine then the next i crash every single time.
On experimental branch crashed with both:
mesh_streamer_settings = { ā¦ }
disable = true
threaded_streamer = false

Nevermind, after 4 matches with no crash I just had a match where I crashed once and then another match where I crashed 5 times. F.cking hellā¦

Just FYI, you can replace the DLSS DLL now that EAC is not blocking stuff.
Not sure if that would help anyā¦
