Vermintide 2 crashes PC Black Screen forcing me to hard reset

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 Technical Support
1

Hey guys, so a few hours ago I decided to play some Vermintide 2 but in that time the game has caused my PC to crash 4 times by a black screen. On my 1st experience, I loaded into the game and then my PC crashed. On my 2nd experience, I loaded into the game and got into a match but then my screen became black. On my 3rd and 4th experience, I manually restarted my PC via the power button and then got back into the game which crashed my PC upon loading the game hero selection.

I got back into the game yesterday and have been playing fine without any PC crashes. Just now they are happening to me anytime I try to get into the game making me have to manually reset my PC. I do not know what is causing these crashes when I start up the game.

Here are some solutions that I have tried which have proved Unsuccessful:

  1. Verifying game integrity files on Steam
  2. Reinstalling the game
  3. Playing without any workshop mods
  4. Re-Updating drivers
  5. Uninstalling and reinstalling GPU
  6. Playing on the lowest settings

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Do you have the current BIOS-Version installed?

I had a similar problem that playing V2 made my PC reboot randomly and a BIOS Upgrade fixed it.

Unfortunately, I do not know how to update the BIOS. However, I noticed that I am having a similar problem in another game where if I boot it up and load into the lobby it will give me a blue screen forcing me to hard reset like Vermintide 2.

Yeah, updating your BIOS varies from Motherboard to motherboard. Even between generations from the same manufacturer. Best thing I guess would be to find a manual or a youtube video from a trustworthy source.

Or asking someone to do it if you’re unsure.
A BIOS update isn’t a hard thing in itself, but I always find it nervewracking as anything going wrong could ruin your computer.
The procedure is simple though, and goes along the lines of :
1 - go to your motherboards manufacturer’s site
2 - download the latest bios and put it on a USB stick
3 - restart your computer, open the BIOS, and select “flash update” and then the USB stick with the update
4 - pray you don’t have a power outage
5 - done

I believe I have recently responded to your post in the Steam discussions. :slight_smile:

I have updated my BIOS but that did not seem to work. I even replaced my monitor and Power supply within my PC but after launching the game again an hour later it still gives the black screen of death…

This is unfortunate. Please have a look here, if you haven’t already. It’s important to check for overheating, etc.: https://support.fatshark.se/hc/en-us/articles/360038965013--PC-How-to-Resolve-PC-Crashes-Loss-of-Responsiveness-or-Blue-Screens-BSOD-
