Game Closed Almost Immediately After Launching
Game Closed Almost Immediately After Launching
I'm experiencing problems where games abruptly close during play, especially in titles like Crusader Kings 3, GTA V, and Dying Light. This has happened for the first time with my fifth build. I've run diagnostics, cleaned and reinstalled the games, and verified everything through Steam. My PC specs are listed, and in Windows Error Reporting I see an error about 'ck3.exe' or 'GameManagerServic3.exe'. Have you tried anything else that might be causing this?
Welcome to the forums, newcomer! How are you managing that processor? BIOS version for your motherboard?
RAM: G.Skill Trident Z5 64GB (DDR5-4800) (2x32 GB)
You should have considered DDR5-6000MHz or a faster dual channel RAM kit. Do you have a link to your RAM used in the build?
Where did you obtain the installer for your OS and did you install it offline? Where did you get the installers for your games?
Thank you for your help!
I wrote the incorrect type, it is DDR5-6000.
Bios American Megatrends Int 11.02 from 10/12/2023, received from ASRock. I learned this BIOS version was the most stable and updated the MOBO before installing the OS.
I'm using a Noctua NH-D15 to cool the CPU.
I downloaded the OS from the MS store and installed it from a thumb drive as a clean install. I also downloaded the Steam client from its site when installing the games.
Do you suggest performing a clean install and wiping the HD?
