Fixing Game Crashes at Launch: What Steps Should I Take?
Fixing Game Crashes at Launch: What Steps Should I Take?
Recently, a problem arose: consistently when I attempted to start games (including both Warframe and Rainbow Six Siege), they progressed through a significant portion of their typical loading display, accompanied by high CPU and GPU utilization in the task manager—reaching 100%—before either my screen became unresponsive or the game abruptly terminated. I’m seeking advice on how to resolve this problem. Furthermore, my graphics card drivers were completely reinstalled just two days earlier using DDU.
Hardware specifications:
AOC 1440p 144Hz monitor + Asia 1080p 144hz monitor
Z390-F motherboard
i5 6600k processor
Corsair water cooling system (exact model details unavailable)
Strix 2080 graphics card
970 EVO storage drive
RM650x power supply
If your games are sourced from platforms like Steam, Rockstar, EGL, or GOG:
You can create physical copies of the game folders. Following a fresh operating system installation and reinstalling your launcher programs, return the game files to their original locations and log into the launcher software. It will identify the game folders, reprocess both the game and system files, and subsequently only download what's required. This should substantially reduce the amount of file re-downloading – approximately 90% – needed to play your games. Any offline game data should also be backed up separately, though locating these files may present a challenge. Search within the following locations:
ProgramData
and various
User
folders.
I experienced the same issue and I believe it’s not related to the specifications or old drives because I have tried nearly everything.
Were you able to resolve the issue? And if so, what was your method for doing that?
If you’re experiencing issues with multiple RAM modules:
Attempt to test each individual stick within every available DIMM slot. A single faulty module – either the RAM itself or a specific slot – could be causing the problem.
Also, consider restoring your BIOS settings to their original defaults.
Alternatively, you might want to restore your Windows operating system to a previous state before the crashes began, or install a completely new copy of the newest version.
The operating system can sometimes become damaged over time through normal operation, resulting in system unreliability.
You’ll need to store these locally, either on a separate hard drive, a divided part of your current drive, or through an online storage service.
