Darkest Dungeon 2 Unity Crash Issue: Is there any fix yet
Darkest Dungeon 2 is a game with a unique plot, eerie forests, and gameplay that takes a toll on emotions. However, the game has undergone a few errors, which are restricting the players from enjoying it. Though there is no official fix for the error as of writing this article, we have accumulated a few workarounds that are worth a try.
Remove Frame Limiter Software
If you are using any frame limiter software to help with stuttering issues, this can be one of the reasons for the crash. Players have noticed that by adding a profile in the software to not limit the in-game FPS of Darkest Dungeon 2, the game does not face any black screens or crashes. So, make sure to try this method. If this doesn’t work, consider uninstalling the application from your system, and then launching the game.
Verify Game File Integrity
At times, corrupt game files can cause such errors. Before jumping to other workarounds, it is important to verify and repair your files. To do so, launch the Steam client, navigate to Steam Library > Right-click on Darkest Dungeon 2 > Select ‘Properties’ > Local Files > Select ‘Verify integrity of game files’. This will detect any corrupt files and repair them. So, if the issue was occurring due to corrupt game files, this method will fix it.
Update Windows
This fix is cliché but worth a try. This error can also occur due to outdated Windows. Players can try updating their Windows to the latest version available and then launching the game.
Anti-Virus Exception List
If you use anti-virus software, make sure that it does not hinder your game’s functioning or block it. You can avoid this by adding Darkest Dungeons 2 to the exception list. Go to Windows Settings > Update and Security > Windows Security > Virus and Threat Protection > Manage > Exclusions. Click on ‘Exclusions’, then select ‘Folder’. Now, head to the installation directory of the game, and select it. This will allow the game to launch without any issues.
If the issue persists, you will need to wait for the developers to acknowledge it, and release a fix for it. Anyway, this brings us to the end of the guide, and we hope the workarounds provided are of help. Make sure to check out DigiStatement for more information and news about your favorite games!
