Sorry to hear this @saroniteaj

Based on the Exit Code 0xC0000005 in your logs. I recommend checking your Anti-Virus/Firewall. Please see:

I have no anti-virus and my firewall is turned off. I managed to get the game to run in windowed mode. Im able to play it for a bit then I blue screen. So this is what I do. I set all the settings to low resolution low window mode windowed. I launch the game then update my settings to extreme fullscreen maximize everything. perfect 60 fps then I blue screen after a few moments.

I did however follow your directions here is my new error code.

Hm okay, it could be worth checking that your default GPU is being set correctly; just in case Intel UHD Graphics 770 is being used over your NVIDIA 4080.

To do so:

  • Ensure your monitors are plugged in to the dedicated (as opposed to the integrated) GPU ports on the back of your PC

  • Perform a clean re-installation of your GPU drivers using the appropriate instructions below:

  • For NVIDIA GPUs: Ensure both Steam and Vermintide 2 are set to use your dedicated GPU within the NVIDIA Control Panel by:

  1. Right-click the desktop and select the ‘NVIDIA Control Panel’
  2. Navigate to ‘Manage 3D Settings’ > ‘Program Settings’
  3. Locate Steam within the list of programs
  4. Within the ‘Select the preferred graphics processor for this program:’ dropdown, choose the NVIDIA GPU
  5. Then locate Vermintide 2 within the list of programs, and repeat the above step
  • For Windows 10 users:
  1. Navigate to ‘Settings’ > ‘System’ > ‘Display’
  2. Select ‘Graphics Settings’
  3. Select the ‘Browse’ button and locate the Vermintide 2 executable (Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Warhammer Vermintide 2\binaries)
  4. Select the ‘Options’ button
  5. Choose ‘High performance’ and save your changes

If you encounter any further blue screen crashes, this may indicate a deeper system level issue. In which case, solutions here may be of help:
