Is V Rising not starting on your PC & crashing every time you try to launch? Try these potential fixes.
V Rising is a dream for players who love the vampire lore as well as crafting games. If you’ve recently purchased the game on PC and experiencing frequent crashes, all is not lost. Here are some troubleshooting tips to try to fix the V Rising crashing issue at startup/launch.
The first thing players must check is whether their system supports the official system requirements of the game. If hardware is not the issue, take a look at the steps below to potentially resolve the problem.
Since this is one of the most common reasons why games crash at launch, check if your graphics drivers are up to date. You can download the latest versions from the official sites of the manufacturers.
If there’s a bug in the game that is causing this problem, the developers will release a patch/hotfix for it. So if you haven’t already, update the game to the latest version via Steam.
If the crashes are occurring due to an overload of apps running at the same time, make sure to close the other unnecessary ones (especially Google Chrome) before launching Steam. This should make the game your priority for your computer and after that, check if the crashes still happen.
Adding to the above point, to give all the necessary access permissions to V Rising, launch it as an admin. Find the .exe file on your desktop and right click on it. Click on Run as Administrator and that should do it.
Antivirus, Firewall, VPN software, anti-spyware software, security apps, file-sharing software, IP filtering or blocking programs as well as download accelerator and manager programs are some that interfere with game clients. Disable them temporarily and try again. If that works then make sure to add V Rising as an exception to be able to play without interruptions.
Find out if you have overclocked your hardware to get a better performance in V Rising. If that’s causing any type of instability in the game, you may have to revert your overclock settings. Do these changes only if you are sure of its impact, because overclocking as well as underclocking can potentially damage your system.
If Windows Defender is going through the game files and checking them during every boot up, it will slow down the process of launching the game or even cause crashes. Players can disable it before starting it up to see if it makes a difference.
And after all that, if the issue still persists, contact V Rising or Steam support for further assistance.
