Hey Walia, with this being a GPU-related crash, please see the solutions listed here:

[PC] How to Resolve GPU Crashes in Darktide

The fixes implemented by the developer did not resolve the issue. The image still becomes banded before an enemy wave, It still crashes afterward.

I have tested several methods:

  • launching the game in windowed mode
  • lowering the graphics settings
  • reinstalling the game
  • reinstalling DirectX
  • reinstalling C++
    *tried with x pass version too

I kindly ask the developers to review the log files.
