Sorry to hear this. Is this ever accompanied by any memory-related errors?
Most recent crashes for darktide in the past two months have been from Access Violation errors, ive not seen any flags or pop ups for memory-related issues.
I don’t know if this is related or would help but two months ago I replaced my old, damaged monitor for a new one (1080p to 4k), before that I had no issues.
Edit: just launched darktide and was in the menu before loading into the mourningstar. crashed
no mods on. no idea if related.

The last crash only appears to have occurred once ever(!) and only on your machine, which makes me wonder if part of the issue is a bad installation.
Do you have another drive you’re able to reinstall Darktide on to?
Afraid not, as this pc only has the C Drive.
Darktide crashing seems to coincide with chrome crashing with a status_access_violation.
Random errors + i9-14900KF…
Try severely under clocking your CPU and see if stability returns. You may have a damaged CPU.

Sorry, but it sounds like your i9 is damaged by the voltage issue that has been plaguing the 13th and 14th gen intels.
If you haven’t already, update your bios to stop further damage but the damage is not reversible.
Reducing your clock speeds should help mitigate the issue. You can try increasing your clock speeds a little at a time to see how fast it can go while maintaining stability.
Here’s an article with some details about the cause.
