Working out how to fix The Finals crashing on PC is not what players want to be doing after receiving their beta key and installing the game. However, some users are unfortunately experiencing crashing to the desktop. Thankfully, there are some workarounds. Here’s how to stop The Finals crashes.
How to fix The Finals crashing on PC
To fix The Finals crashing on PC, players should:
- Make sure they have updated to the latest graphics card driver.
- Close any unnecessary background applications.
- Not only can background apps suck up valuable resources, but they can also conflict directly with games and cause a crash.
- For example, applications with overlays like MSI Afterburner can cause some games to crash.
- Set all graphics options to “Low” to test stability.
- If the game runs fine with full Low settings, you can slowly turn the settings up until the problematic option has been identified.
- Restart Steam to see if it forces an update to the game.
- Consider disabling any CPU or GPU overclocks to maintain stability while playing.
At the time of writing, The Finals is in beta. This means that there’s an expectation for crashing issues and other problems. That isn’t to say it isn’t annoying, however.
