[2021] Crash on Startup April 2021

Hey @Zankaru,

Sorry to hear that you’re having trouble after trying so many solutions. Do you have any console logs you could upload? It would helpful for us to take a deeper look.

Hi @Zankaru,

The error HRESULT: 2147942487 = E_INVALIDARG indicates that it’s a GPU-related issue.

Could you run through the following please;

• 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: [PC] How to Perform a Clean Re-Installation of Your NVIDIA GPU Drivers – Fatshark
• 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 this still doesn’t resolve your issue, then the next port of call is to try all of the solutions listed here:

Let me know how you get on!
