[2022] Cannot launch the game -- crashes after EAC screen every single time

Hi @rypta,

Please ensure you have Anti-Virus and Firewall exceptions in place for Darktide, as this may be interfering.

Failing that, it’s worth performing a Selective Startup, which can help identify whether a background application is the cause:

1. Press the Windows key
2. Type ‘msconfig’ and select ‘System Configuration’
3. On the ‘General’ tab, select ‘Selective Startup’
4. Deselect ‘Load startup Items’
5. Reboot your PC
