Crashing after new patch? (9/12/24)

[Phanny Dantom]

Anyone experience a crashing issue after the new update? Every time I launch, I get a black screen followed by a crash report after about 45 seconds. No information on what caused the crash either. :(

[Aueberon]

Yes, it either crashes on launch, hard locks my system or after five or six tries lets me in...and then freezes mid mission

Had two hard locks/freeze ups in operations one right at the end, and getting a few lock ups on either exiting to desk top or whilst in loading screen. Have to task manage and kill the program.

Yup, I can play from 5mn to 45mn before a crash.
Set everything to low, no overlays from NVidia, no overlay from steam, latest drivers.
It's very frustrating.

Once in a few years I buy a just released hyped AAA title... each and every time I get disappointed, then I remember why I almost never buy Hyped AAA titles anymore, especially when it just comes out.

A game that crashes this often though ? It's been a while, like 20~25 years ago...
The game seems pretty fun otherwise so far, in solo.

My bet is on some memory leak that corrupt some other data.

Win10
cpu : AMD 2700x
gpu : Nvidia RTX 2080
ram : 16Go
resolution : 1920x1080

Also having this issue. Get either a frozen frame or black screen within 5 -45 minutes of starting gameplay. Starting the game it sits at a black screen for a couple minutes before finally going to the main menu. On Tuesday I was able to play for near 7 hours with only a single crash.

Win11
CPU: I9 14900K
GPU: RTX 4090 24GB
Ram: 64GB

If you are using an AMD GPU go into AMD Software Adrenalin Edition. It should be were you update the drivers. Then go to settings > Preferences > General > In-Game Overlay. This fixed it for me and I have an RX 7900 XT. For Nvidia there should be an equivalent for the Gforce In game overlay.

What fixed it for me was deleting easy anti-cheat folder and validating my files right afterwards.

This is how I fixed it. Locate Easy Anticheat folder in your WH40K SM2 folder and delete it. After that, go to the WH40K SM2 game in your Steam client and verify game files. It will download the Easy Anticheat again. Launch the game and do nothing. It will display the black screen for about 60 seconds and the game will launch.

Yes same issue here, played without issue from EA till last weekend then started getting either freezing black screen before the title screen or freeze and crash to desktop randomly during operations, about 1 out of 3 missions crashes. Very frustrating issue we did not have prior to the patch.

Wanted to come to this thread and voice similar. It's difficult for me to complete an operation with out a hard crash since the most recent patch.

Same here having this issue. Currently verifying game files after deleting Easy Anticheat. Will update here if it works.

Made it through one operation and crashed at the armory.

Absolutely! Steam crash in 2 different system of mine.
1 - HP OMEN Intel 10900k + geforce 3090 + 64 GB RAM + SSD
2 - AMD 3700x + GEFORCE 3090 + 16GB RAM + SSD
same error "SteamWebHelper do not respond".
No step in steam guide nor in the crash windows is of any help.
Uninstalled, reinstalled, "flushed" - no change
The client do NOT write any useful crash report that steam helpdesk ask for:
"
As mentioned above, please submit a few of your latest "crash_steam.exe..." minidumps and your SteamWebHelper reports (formatted like this "29856337-0727-3yc8-dfd7-0a9746094869.dmp") with your next reply. They can be found in your Steam directory in the following default locations:

C:\Program Files\Steam\dumps
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\dumps

These files will help us throughout our investigation. We'll wait for you response and go from there.
"
Let's hope for the best

Yesterday i crashed twice two, wich i normally never do.
I would follow Eudicots advice, i think its an Anti-Cheat and/or Server issue.
