[2022] Crash on startup i need help

Hi @Braggart

Based on the information in the logs, it appears your default GPU is set as Microsoft Basic Render Driver - this is resulting in your crashes in Vermintide 2, as your default GPU cannot handle the demand.

Do you have another GPU that is not being detected?

Please see below for solutions for this problem:

• 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 AMD GPUs: Ensure both Steam and Vermintide 2 are set to use your dedicated GPU within the Radeon Settings by:

1. Right-click the desktop and select ‘Radeon Settings’
2. Navigate to ‘Preferences’ > ‘Additional Settings’ > ‘Power’ > ‘Switchable Graphics’ > ‘Application Settings’
3. Locate Steam within the list of programs
4. In the ‘Graphics Settings’ column, assign the ‘High Performance’ profile
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

Please let us know if you have any problems.

Possibly! Conflicting drivers and outdated/old drivers can occasionally cause some issues.

Have you been able to change your default GPU and resolve the crash?

Sorry to hear that!

Let us know if the issue persists after switching your GPU.
