0 Truckerpilot Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Crash on Launch Issue the first reason for the game to crash might be the lack of administrative rights. Right-click on the game’ and select “Run The Game as Administrator”. If this doesn’t work for you then try playing the game from the account that has the administrative rights. Another reason for the game to crash at launch is the anti-virus or the Windows Defender, which might be detecting the game’s exe file as a trojan virus. You can either disable the anti-virus or make an exception for the game in the anti-virus. This will allow the game to run on your system. Also, an outdated GPU driver might also be the reason for the game to crash. Just update your drivers to the latest version. How do I update my video card drivers? -Press Windows + R. -Type “DxDiag” and click OK. -After the DirectX Diagnostic Tool loads, select the Display tab. -The video card’s name and manufacturer are listed in the Device section. The current driver version is listed in the Driver section. -Visit the driver manufacturer’s website to obtain the most up-to-date driver. Contact the driver manufacturer for assistance with updating the driver. If the computer is under warranty, contact the computer manufacturer.
