Is there any error displayed in the Windows Event Viewer that corresponds with this?
Thank you for your report - I’ve shared this with our developers.
Could you show me which error is displayed, please?
Sort of looks like some sort of screen effect gone wrong. You could try to turn off various graphics settings and see if anything makes any difference.
Particularly “Lens Quality”, “Bloom”, “Depth Of Field”, “Motion Blur” comes to mind as likely candidates.
Never seen this before. I would suggest you try and verify your steam files first, to make sure eveything is correct there.
Then if that doesn’t help, delete everything in your %appdata%/Roaming/Fatshark/Darktide folder and relaunch the game.
It’s just a small (~40Mb) Binary patch, so it’s quick to toggle back and forth. And it plays against the same backend and the normal version.
I don’t want to advertise this prematurely to a bigger audience unless it actually helps.
The reality of this issue is that we really don’t know why this is happening for so many people, while not happening for yet so many others. And not being able to reproduce it myself doesn’t help at all.
But now I found something that could possibly be at least one cause, and this thred is a good place to start verifying it.
Hello all. I’m here mostly to say that yes, we are still working on this.
To that end, there is now a new experimental build live that may help with hangs. Please try it if you exerience frequent hangs. Beta password: cTYPtKTsfMDsLHAV
There is a new experimental build live which may solve some of the GPU hangs.
Please try it if you suffer from regular hangs.

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:
Remove these files will cause the shader cache builder to run again and hopefully generate non corrupt files.
Glad to hear that!
I’d be keen to hear if the new workaround setting ‘Reset Key Bindings on Start’ resolves the issue for others here too? Please let me know
Yep, thank you!
All of these crash reports show GPU hang crashes. I’ll merge this with the Known Issue topic.
Thank you for keeping us updated.
It looks like this console log is truncated unfortunately. Next time, could you copy and paste the crash report produced in here, please?
I assume the ‘Verify Integrity of Game Files’ hasn’t helped here?
The BSODs do indicate more of an underlying issue. is there an error displayed with the BSOD?
This is a very unusual crash. Please use the ‘Verify Integrity of Game Files’ option:
Could you pop a crash report in here, please?
I can then look up your particular crash and add this information to it, to support development’s investigation.
Thank you for your detailed report - I’ve shared this with our developers.
Is there a corresponding error in the Windows Event Viewer?
The update being the hotfix. Apologies if that was unclear. There will be larger news via a community post after the holidays
