Possible random crash fix

[Lunaxx]

I have finally discovered directory with crash logs, and figured out this.
dir: %appdata%\Roaming\Fatshark\Darktide\console_logs

As you open one of the logs, my crash issue was this:
18:48:46.996 <<Crash>>HRESULT: 2289696773 = DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED: GetDeviceRemovedReason() = DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG

And with this we can work.
Go to regedit
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers

Once there, add DWORD 32-bit and name it "TdrLevel" (unquoted ofc)
Restart PC if needed. Provided u had the same error, there you go.

You are welcome if that helped.

EDIT:
You can try also official crash solutions:

Can confirm this seems to have fixed it for me as well for the ignorant people like me what is making this TdrLevel in reg edit actually doing?

[Lunaxx]

TdrLevel
Specifies the initial level of recovery.

registry

Copy
KeyPath : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers
KeyValue : TdrLevel
ValueType : REG_DWORD
ValueData : TdrLevelXxx (see the following table)
Where TdrLevelXxx can be one of the following values:

Value Meaning
TdrLevelOff (0) Detection disabled
TdrLevelBugcheck (1) Bug check on detected timeout; for example, no recovery.
TdrLevelRecoverVGA (2) Recover to VGA (not implemented).
TdrLevelRecover (3) Recover on timeout. This is the default value.

so in the end for me it just prolonged time between crashes, so I was able to complete few missions. But its annoying AF.

This is the crash I keep having. Aside from your fix, do you know what the error itself means?

[Lunaxx]

Microsoft says that app is having a wrong call causing gpu to hang up. No details.
But it was exactly the same issue in 2018 with Vermintide, so...

I found setting my DLSS to "Automatic" instead of pre-selecting certain presets fixed my crashing

THIS is after the fix, during mission.

I think this may have fixed it for me. Was able to extract and complete a mission successfully.

Tdr is basicly Microsofts way of fixing BSOD on GPU hangs. It will know your GPU is not doing what it's supposed to and restarts your drivers automatically after 2 seconds of hanging. (Default timer). Problem is if your GPU is being EXTREMELY utilized for 2 seconds. (Game does it) Windows is like "Oh ♥♥♥♥ GPU is fked...restart drivers"

By turning of TDR you are saying "don't check if GPU is getting hanged or not." Great when it actually does not need a restart. However when it does. You are 99% forced to restart pc as there will be no recovery.

I am also still crashing with the same error even after this fix:
01:50:39.276 <<Crash>>HRESULT: 2289696773 = DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED: GetDeviceRemovedReason() = DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG

nah, it just crashes the game. occasionally casual BSOD, but that happened just once for me in more than 10+ crashes :D

This has made me crash less, but I'm still crashing with this error.
