After detailed research, we found plenty of reasons that may behind this issue. We have outlined most of them below:-

  • Outdated Graphics Driver- Outdated graphics drivers can be the leading cause. As it turns out, many users do not update the graphics driver. Therefore they encounter crashing problems.
  • Having Custom Graphics Settings- If you have applied some custom settings via the control panel or respective vendor, the issue might arise due to custom configuration settings.
  • Background Overlays Turned On- If your graphics card cannot handle multiple applications simultaneously along with the game, you may encounter this issue due to the use of many background applications.
  • Corrupted Game Files- Sometimes, the cashing issues occur when there is any corrupted data in the game files, such as corrupted cache and game files.
  • Not Having Administrator Privileges- If you do not have administrator privileges when launching the game, we advise you to run the game as an administrator because administrator permission eliminates all interference from the third party or the Windows antivirus.
  • Antivirus may be Interfering- There may be a chance that your antivirus is interfering whenever you try to launch the game. To avoid this, you need to allow the game through the firewall by following the below method.
