Hi @Jeosyd,

This appears to be an issue with DLSS/FSR. Can you please try disabling ‘Colour and Lens Distortion’ under the Post Processing section of Video Settings. Please let me know how this goes!

We’ve tested this internally and have been unable to reproduce the issue.

@CallMeCC Is it possible you play on the launcher workaround? As this wasn’t updated immediately and was still on the previous hotfix for a while?

Please try restarting Vermintide 2 if you haven’t already done so!

Okay, thanks for checking! It’s genuinely very strange. I’m still waiting to hear back from other developers for any input. However, in the meantime, trying a reinstall is a good shout!

If the issue persists, could they also try reinstalling on a different drive?

We’ve had trouble reproducing this issue.

A related bug whereby consuming a Potion of Endless bombs would cause the Icon of Death has been fixed with Hotfix 5.1.2.

If anyone still experiences this issue after Hotfix 5.1.2 please let me know.

Any further information that can be provided would be much appreciated! Thank you.

This issue should be resolved with Hotfix 5.1.2.

This issue should now be resolved with Hotfix 5.1.2.

Hi @CallMeCC,

Could you please provide us with a console log from a session this occurs, and ideally a video with sound so we can take a look? Thanks in advance!

Gotcha, thank you for confirming this - I’ll let the team know!

Also, it would be helpful to view your friends launcher log (if one is being generated). Could you please ask them to provide this if possible?

To do so, please see:

Hi both, if possible could you please provide a crash report (if this happens again), or your relevant console log from the session this occured so we can take a look.

Glad to hear that!

Ah okay! Hopefully factory nuking your system will help! Please let me know.

Hmm okay, thank you for confirming.

I’ve raised this issue with the development team, and I’ll be back in touch when I have any updates.

In the meantime, we have released a new PC hotfix this morning - can you ask your friend to try again after downloading this and let me know if anything changes?

Thank you!

Okay, thanks for confirming.

The next thing I can suggest is to try a clean reinstallation of Vermintide 2. Please see:

Heroes!

We’ve just put out a new hotfix for Vermintide 2 on Steam, here are the patchnotes!

Hotfix 5.1.2 (October 24th)

Tweaks

• The Necromancer’s Icon of Death is no longer shown in the ally frame UI thingie, it’s now back to only showing whether the ally has a potion or not.

Fixes

• Fixed the dummies in the Keep being too fat and having big collisions.
• Fixed hot join crash if a Ranger Veteran with the ‘Exhilirating Vapours’ used their ability that session.
• Fixed Bardin being able to stealth infinitely with the ‘Surprise Guest’ talent by re-entering the ability.
• Fixed Ranger Veteran with ‘Exhilirating Vapours’ talent showing the wrong amount of ability stacks.
• ...

Hm okay

It’s a shot in the dark, but are you currently playing with any mods? If so, can you please try disabling these.

I’ve been told that nothing seems overly out of place in the logs - which is good!

Curious, are you able to launch successfully in Modded realm? (chosen from the launcher options)

As Easy Anti-Cheat is only applied to Official realm, this can help us to determine if the issue is EAC-related.

You mentioned rarely being able to get into the game, but then erroring out. I also recommend to try a ‘Selective Startup’ which can help us identify if a background application may be interfering.

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

If the issue no longer occur after having performed the Selective Startup, try re-introducing your programs one-by-one to determine which is the culprit.

Please let me know how you get on.

Hi @SweetHawk

I’ve escalated this with our development team and I’m waiting to hear back.
