Crash - on Launch

-when rtx hdr is on the game crashes. Oddly enough if I turn it on or off I can log in the game, and it doesn’t crash me while playing. But once it starts crashing it keeps crashing
-Very powerful rtx 5080 main desktop, and a 4080 laptop (same issue on both)

Yes, and I’ve tried disabling them

It would be super to see the entirety of the crash report! :pray:

Hello there Julie. Jjust updated with the crash report.

Thanks! Could you see if the crash persists with the NVIDIA Overlay disabled?

I ask as there’s been some issues with this, recently.

5

It doesn’t.

I can bypass the issue by toggling rtx vibrance on or off, restarting, or disabling the rtd hdr/vibrance (nvidia overlay features).

6

Are there plans to fix this incompatibility?

I don’t play non hdr games anymore and darktide doesn’t have that native support without nvidia overlay.
