Despite having low system requirements, Elden Ring Nightreign might end up crashing on PC for some of you.
Just like the network errors, this could be due to a plethora of reasons which range from corrupted game files, to outdated video drivers.
So, if you want to explore the lands in between with all the eight classes that Elden Ring Nightreign has to offer, here are some potential fixes that you could try if you see the game crashing on your PC.
How to stop Elden Ring Nightreign from crashing on PC
If you’re continuously experiencing the game crash on your system, then it’s best to check if your game files are in order. Nightreign has very low system requirements, so even if you don’t have a very high end device, you’ll still be able to run the game smoothly.
With the system requirements ruled out, the first culprit could be your game files, so verifying them is the first fix that you should try.
Depending upon what platform you’re on, you can find the option to verify the files under the settings menu on the game’s page, irrespective of the platform that you’re on. On the game’s page, look for three dots or a cog wheel, and the option to verify the integrity of your game files should be under the menu here.
This is a replacement to reinstalling the game from scratch though, because if the system does find some corrupt files then it’ll automatically download and replace them. However, in case verifying the files doesn’t fix it, then you might have to reinstall Elden Ring Nightreign to stop it from crashing on PC, but only after you’ve checked the graphics drivers.
More often than not, outdated graphic drivers cause your game to crash, so be sure to check for new updates in case you’re experiencing these crashes. If you’ve got the Nvidia app installed, it should notify you of any remaining updates that you haven’t performed yet.
If you don’t have any app installed, you can manually check your graphic card maker’s website. They maintain a catalogue with all the driver updates released so far, so get the latest one for yourself and you’re good to go.
Lastly, if nothing works, then drop a line to support, explaining your problem, and they should be able to tell you what the issue is and why Elden Ring Nightreign keeps crashing on your pc.
