My game and my heart is crashing

Issue Type (Required):

Crash - During Play

Issue Description (Required):

After the 1 October update, the game crashes constantly. Every 3-7 minutes. It doesn’t matter where I am, what I’m doing, where I’m running or who I’m running from.

How exactly the game crashes:
During the game for a second the sound disappears, then the game hangs while the load on the SSD 100%.
In this state the game is about a minute, then the window closes and that’s it.

Prayers to God the Emperor do not help, hopefully help here.

Hi AnDrag, I’ve raised your crashes with the team and we’re looking in to it, apologies.

This is exactly what happens for me as well. Just checked in task manager and the disk usage goes up to 100% just before the crash. Except I get a bluescreen followed by system reboot afterwards.

I got the same problem audio cut off then the game freezes for 2-3 second, then it either lags and it’s impossible to do anything or just disconect to character selection screen and I need to reconnect. It happen 4-5 times per match.

The story goes on.
Checking the files and, strange as it may sound, changing the language temporarily helps. It helps for 1 day, then it starts again.
This isn’t a game - it’s an endless struggle with the game, trying to play at least one game without problems.

I can post 40,000 bug reports here if it helps. I’ll try to at least. At 5-7 bugs per match, it won’t take that long. Just kidding

The problem is still unresolved. I know many people have this problem, including some youtube content makers.
I’ve waited patiently for a month, but nothing is happening - nothing is fixed.
Unfortunately, this means that Darktide is no longer my main game and I’m quitting, as well as taking my money that I spent in the donation store.

See ya… probably not.

Yeah this is what my friend has been getting since 1.5.4 too. He had not played for a while and came back for the update only for it to be completely unplayable with the same audio freeze and then game hang with disk usage pinned.

He can’t be bothered to complain though, he just went back to Diablo4.
