Hi.

Please try the experimental branch, beta password: cTYPtKTsfMDsLHAV

Could you also supply a screenshot of the process tree when this occurs? Like this, sorted on memory usage.

But you already have the experimental build there. It’s even selected in your screenshot? You ARE on the experimental build. If you want to go back to the normal one, select “None” in the dropdown.

Hi.
I looked at your crash dump file, and it seems that something goes wrong when it attempts to load the shader cache. No idea why this have happened, but I believe the files have been corrupted somehow. It should be resolvable by removing these files from your %appdata%/Roaming/Fatshark/Darktide folder:

  • shader_cache.hans
  • shader_library.pso_lib
  • state_stream_library.pso_lib

Remove these files will cause the shader cache builder to run again and hopefully generate non corrupt files.
