Dark and Darker

Dark and Darker

Can't play game due to constant crashes on high end gaming PC
Seems to crash when sorting through my inventory. This only started happening within the last few months, I came back today to see if the issue had been resolved but it seems to have only gotten worse.

devs dont care as long as it works long enough to on board a player apparently, worst customer service ive ever seen so this must just be some garbage tier company that will live and die with this...creation.. It seems obvious to me that theyd rather put man-power into banning me from steam discussions for voicing discontent than address core issues like this.

go into your settings and theres a setting for like menu fps....put that at like 60. otherwise its probably trying to gun to like 200+ when the games running at 60-120.....this has caused issues for people in that past and that's the fix....otherwise idk....theres probably a optimization option issue with your high-end rig. I'm pretty on the low end with like a 1070 and i don't really encounter any issues or even lag like some people wanna make the game out to have.

Dude menu fps has a hard limit of 100 already and also why would their pc suddenly start to struggle with that part?

I've been getting bad stability with this game recently, mostly when I'm in the dungeon though, for some reason signing out of steam through my friends list seems to help

yeah i would imagine depending on how many people you have added, doing different things like getting on different games, would eat some resources. I never thought about that before. I've had moments in like "risk of rain 2" on long runs where stuff would start having issues, sometimes it would happen when 1 or 2 people would switch between games. tho i think i might be able to change priorities on what runs....if you try to make "Dark and Darker" run as admin you'll get "error code 24" or if you try to change its resource priorities, you'll get error coded too i think.

TLDR: i yap. bro made me have a "oh ♥♥♥♥ that's true" moment, but he's probably 100% right.

No worries you have run steam as admin as opposed to dark and darker it's self which has actually helped me with performance in the past

Turn Anti-aliasing & Super-Resolution to OFF.
Shadows: Low
Texture: High
Post Proc: Medium
Visual Effects: Low
Max Frame Limit: 400

I crashed a lot before, but I'm pretty sure it was mostly super resolution & AA being poorly implemented. No time to fix stuff like basic graphics in the game when the devs are busy adding things like colored sashes and barbarian buffs.

Windows key + R, sysdm.cpl, page file to 16384-16384, let me know how it goes (out of 20 people complaining of this issue no one has attempted a single fix offered to them, be the first out of the idiot whiners to 'help themselves')

Can you be more specific about this? Running this command doesn't bring up anything with changing page files.

Where do you get these wild ideas? Ive tried a multitude of things as Im sure others have as well. I have yet to see anyone claim they fixed this specific issue, in regards to sorting inventory causing crashes. Specifically since it sometimes goes to bluescreen and other times just to desktop. Certainly the same issue.

this isnt your thread.
1. Hold down your LEFT windows key with your LEFT index finger.
2. keep holding your finger into the key , you may see your start menu appear
3. With your right index finger, Press the R key. R for Roger
4. If you did this with one hand or two hands, thats ok, i use left thumb+right ring
If the run prompt appears, you have a working windows computer and just executed a keyboard shortcut! Congratulations!
5. With your left index finger, press the keyboard key with the english letter S printed on it
6. you should see a small window with two buttons, OK and CANCEL
7. we are typing in the white box and just typed the letter S inside it
8. finish typing the cryptic, mysitcal control panel shortcut item: S Y S D M . C P L
9. do NOT press OK. text mom, and ask her to google if its a virus
10. check the persons post history before you do anything
11. google their name
12. google if any viruses have THEIR NAME as the author of it
13. click on random websites and download 'minecraft plugins' and bypass windows security for random website downloads
14. come back and check this thread for replies if any of the 20 people googled it yet
15. check phone for texts
16. play the game, wonder why 80 open .EXE files called SVC host are making my pc crash in a game that requires 60 to 75% of the RAM my first gaming pc ever has, dont bother to upgrade the thing the person with 35 years of gaming experience told me to upgrade, the RAM to 32gb and via two sticks for higher input response NEVER four ram sticks.
17. switch ram , if its TWO STICKS of 8gb in slots A1 and B1 (learn your motherboards book and download .pdf of it please, i dont have time for you), and switch these RAM sticks to A2 and B2 like the 999 gaming computer guides tell everyone to do
18 stop wasting my time son
