Many different Crashes

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Technical Support

Issue Type (Required):

Crash - During Play

Issue Description (Required):

I get many different crashes during playing. One of them is “Failed to Decompress” I have already looked into the page that exists and nothing helped. I have a i513600k. Sometimes I get a lua null pointer exception. Other times the game crashes without any error message at all. And sometimes after a crash when I startup the game it is stuck in a black loading screen with only the Darktide logo spinning at the bottom right.

This is happening whether I use mods or not. I had some crashes from time to time, but since the last update it got very insane, sometimes crashing 3-4 times during just one round. The uploaded files are from just today. Crashes started increasing after I switched to Windows 11 but increased exponentially after the latest patch.

I completely forgot that I am using rivatuner to limit framerates. I am turning it off for darktide, it might resolve my issue, I’ll let you know.

A manufacturing fault in the 13th and 14th Gen Intel processors can cause continued data corruption issues. Players have been able to work around this by underclocking the ‘Performance Core’ speed using Intel XTU, from x55 to x53.

For more information on the underlying issue, please refer to: https://community.intel.com/t5/Blogs/Tech-Innovation/Client/Intel-Core-13th-and-14th-Gen-Desktop-Instability-Root-Cause/post/1633239

The issue was apparently mostly tied to me using RivaTuner. If issues persist I will try underclocking, thank you.

Failed to decompress is still happening. I have a i5 13600k and the default Performance is x51 for Performance Cores. I am reducing it to x49 and see if that helps…

No crashes have been happening recently. Turning off RivaTuner and underclocking the CPU seems to have helped, thank you Julia.
