[2022] Consistent Crash on launch

Do you have a dedicated NVIDIA or AMD GPU? As the Intel(R) UHD Graphics is being detected at current.

Just copying and pasting what we would usually recommend for Vermintide 2 players with this issue below. I’ll write up a dedicated set of Darktide instructions when I have the chance, but the solutions are much the same - simply switch out the Vermintide 2 references/paths to Darktide.

• 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: https://support.fatshark.se/hc/en-us/articles/360021233554--PC-How-to-perform-a-clean-re-installation-of-your-NVIDIA-GPU-drivers
• 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
