In-game crashes and performance issues are common in PC video games, and Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate Daemonhunters is no exception. Despite the fact that the game is not particularly demanding, PC players are reporting crashes at launch, in-game crashes, and performance issues with it. I'll show you how to cure in-game crashes, and performance difficulties, and get 60 frames per second in Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate Daemonhunters.

Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate Daemonhunters Crash Fix

Many PC gamers are reporting crashes and poor performance. I've put together a list of remedies and workarounds for these crashes so you can play Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate Daemonhunters with no problems.

How to Get 60 FPS and Improve Performance

Despite having relatively low system requirements, PC players in Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate Daemonhunters are getting poor performance, and here's how to repair it and obtain 60 frames per second. To begin, ensure sure you have the most recent GPU drivers installed and that no background programs are consuming PC resources. Force the game to utilize DirectX 12 to fix the Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate Daemonhunters performance issue and get 60 FPS. Although the game does not support it, there is a workaround. Download the vkd3d-proton-2.6.tar.zst file from this page. Copy the dll file into the game's folder after unzipping the file.

Right-click Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate Daemonhunters in Steam > Manage > Browse Local Files if you don't know where the game is installed. The game files will be displayed in a new window. Paste the dll into this box. Then, in the Steam library, right-click Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate Daemonhunters > properties > type -force-d3d12 and press Ok. When the game is first launched, players will notice a huge improvement in performance.

Another explanation for low FPS in Chaos Gate Daemonhunters could be that your system has both integrated and dedicated GPUs, with the game only using the iGPU. You simply need to tell the game to use the specialized Nvidia or AMD GPU.

Open Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings > Program Settings > choose the game > under preferred graphics option, select "High-performance Nvidia processor." Make the necessary adjustments.

Open Radeon Settings > Preferences > Additional Settings > Power > Switchable Graphics Application Settings if you're using an AMD GPU. Select the game, then go to Graphics Settings and select "High-Performance profile." This will resolve the Chaos Gate Daemonhunters' low FPS issue.

Make the following adjustments in Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings > Program Settings > Chaos Gate Daemonhunters.

• Anti-aliasing-Gamma Correction – Off
• Antialiasing Mode – Application Controlled
• Antialiasing Transparency – Off
• CUDA GPUs – All
• Low Latency Mode – Ultra
• Power Management – Prefer Maximum Performance
• Shader Cache – On
• Texture filtering – Quality – High Performance
• Threaded Optimization – Off
• Triple Buffering – Off

When you use these settings, the Chaos Gate Daemonhunters will perform much better.

Crash Fix

Players of Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate Daemonhunters on PC are reporting issues, and here's how to repair them. In-game crashes can be caused by third-party tools such as MSI Afterburner, Discord, RGB software, RTSS, and others. The game will cease crashing if you disable these third-party tools. Crashing can also be caused by in-game overlays such as the Steam in-game overlay or the GeForce Experience overlay. The game will cease crashing if you disable any in-game overlays. In addition, requiring Chaos Gate Daemonhunters to use DX12 may help to resolve in-game issues. See the Performance Fix section above for information on how to force DirectX 12.

Fix for the game not starting or crashing at startup

The PC version of Warhammer 40,000 Chaos Gate Daemonhunters is crashing or not starting at all, according to players. Here's how to get rid of these game crashes. Before we begin, make sure you are running a 64-bit operating system, as the game does not support 32-bit operating systems. Additionally, your Windows 7 must be at least SP1+ updated. Install this update and this update if your Win7 OS isn't up to date. This will resolve the issue with Chaos Gate Daemonhunters not beginning.

Another reason Chaos Gate Daemonhunters crashes upon launch could be your antivirus software. Anti-virus software is most likely blocking the game's executable. Players can fix this by turning off real-time protection or omitting the game folder from anti-virus protection, which I recommend. After that, double-check the game files to ensure Chaos Gate Daemonhunters doesn't crash on startup.

If you're still having problems with the Chaos Gate Daemonhunters crashing at launch, go to Steam > Manage > Browse Local Files. The game will launch directly from the executable in a new window. Players may see an error message stating that vcruntime140 1.dll is missing or that MSVCP140.dll is missing. Install the newest x64 and x86 versions of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables to fix the problem.
