Smelter Complex 100% crash. Unmodded

Issue Description:

When starting Smelter Complex with RTX 4090, GPU driver crashes. All GPU crash related fixes have been tried from https://support.fatshark.se/hc/en-us/articles/7709667528349--PC-How-to-Resolve-GPU-Crashes-in-Darktide and https://support.fatshark.se/hc/en-us/articles/7709661288733--PC-How-to-Resolve-Crashes-in-Darktide and also much more, including clean installing old/new drivers.

Most likely related how shaders/textures are buggy on the map start and flicker on cards like 2070 super. Can’t upload GPU dump files here for some reason. Made a folder named “ShaderDebugInfo” and other gpudump files.

Windows Event Viewer shows the GPU crash:
“The description for Event ID 0 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.”

Could you try disabling ‘Portrait Rendering’, and see if there’s any improvement? This can be accessed via ‘Options’ → ‘Interface’.

Tried that and still crashing the same.

We’ll have to look in to this. I would be interested to hear from any others that experience crashes in this particular mission, so we can look for consistencies in the crash data.

I apologise I don’t have any immediate solutions for you, but I’ll let you know if I make any discoveries.

Alright. I have heard many RTX 4090 users have this issue, like Newtype in the other thread.

Also I am 99% sure this crash happens too immediately when you lose control of character when Chasm Logistratum map ends at the valkyrie. 3 times now.

After the recent patch smelter did not crash at start. Maybe it is fixed!
