How To Fix The Problem Of Jumping Out Of Games (Crashing)?

How To Fix The Problem Of Jumping Out Of Games (Crashing)?

When You Buy A New Game, You Expect It To Run Well, And In Most Cases, It Does, But Sometimes Your Game Crashes.

Jumping out of the game or crashing can be due to the game itself, hardware problems, or poor internet connection. In the continuation of this article, we intend to discuss the solutions to this problem.

Why do games crash?

If you are unsure why your game is popping up, you can use Windows Event Viewer to understand better what is happening on your computer. Such information can be beneficial when solving problems.

In some cases, it is better to install and run the trial version of the game, if possible, before purchasing the full version to ensure the proper execution of your game.

 If games like Minecraft, Apex Legends, and Call of Duty: Warzone regularly crash on your computer, then the following could be the reasons:
  • Your computer hardware is weaker than the minimum required
  • You have overclocked your hardware to a great extent
  • Game settings are not suitable
  • Your graphics card needs a lot of energy
  • Your computer’s operating system is not up to date
  • Your hardware drivers are not updated
  • Your internet connection is poor
  • Digital lock (DRM) locks have created problems for you
  • Your game is running in the wrong mode
  • Your antivirus will crash
  • Using a VPN slows down the connection of your games to the point where they crash.
  • You have opened many browser tabs.

Jumping out of the game

In the following, we intend to discuss the above reasons in detail.

Your computer hardware is weaker than the minimum required.

It may seem obvious, but still, many users either do not compare their system specifications with the game’s minimum requirements in question or do not make this comparison properly. If you buy the game from online stores such as Steam, then on your game page, you can find the required hardware specifications. If you buy the physical version, then behind the game box, you can find the necessary hardware specifications.

If you do not have the minimum hardware, it is better to avoid installing the game because it will not run at the correct frame rate even if it does not crash.

You have overclocked your hardware to a great extent

Some users have overclocked their hardware to increase their processing power. Of course, if you have an excellent cooling system, then overclocking can increase your hardware’s processing power.

Of course, overclocking is not the best way to increase performance, and your games can still crash. Finally, to fix the problem of jumping out of your game, it is better to reset your hardware settings to the factory default.

Game settings are not suitable.

Today’s games offer a variety of manipulation options. By default, games try to make settings that are optimal for your hardware. Your games can crash even with the default graphics settings. It is not just for fun like Red Dead Redemption 2, but can also happen in titles like Minecraft and A Way Out.

In some cases, your computer will crash altogether. To solve such a problem, you should go to the graphic settings page of your game and bring the settings one degree lower each time and check the result to achieve the right combination of performance and graphical effects finally.

Your graphics card needs a lot of energy.

One of the most common reasons for games crashing is due to the weakness of your power supply or PSU. In such cases, your computer’s power supply may not be able to supply the power required by the hardware.

Jumping out of the game

The only solution is to upgrade the power supply, and of course, it is best to clean the hardware thoroughly before doing so, as dust can increase the heat of the hardware and put more pressure on it.

Your computer’s operating system is not up to date

One of the minimum system specifications required for games is related to the operating system and its version. Today, most games require Windows 8.1, Mac OS X 10.4, Mojave, or Ubuntu 18.04 LTS to run. Of course, most fun, especially AAA titles, only run on Windows. Most games are also designed to run on 64-bit systems.

The relationship between hardware and the operating system is very close. For example, today’s hardware can not use through older operating systems such as Windows XP and vice versa.

Your hardware drivers are not updated.

One way to fix the problem of jumping out of the game can be to update the drivers. Games can crash for reasons other than just hardware or the operating system, and drivers can mention for these reasons. Of course, it is better not to forget that game itself is an update.

To download the latest drivers, you can visit the website of your graphics card manufacturer. You should also not forget to install game updates and patches. This process is done automatically in some games (if you have Internet), and it has to be done manually in others. By updating Windows, you can also revise drivers for items such as sound cards.

Your internet connection is poor.

In online games, sometimes slow internet speeds can cause your game to be updated by servers later and therefore crash. So when playing online games, you should check the internet speed and modem status and close other applications that use the Internet. It is also best to avoid a Wi-Fi connection and, as far as possible, connect your computer to the modem via an Ethernet cable.

Digital lock (DRM) locks have created problems for you

Surprisingly, DRM locks can cause a variety of performance problems for games. Sometimes internet problems cause the DRM lock not to work correctly, thus disrupting the game and causing your game to crash.

If your game has the feature of running offline, then it is better to use it. This way, the game lock will no longer communicate with online servers to investigate your suspicious activity. Of course, deleting and reinstalling the game can also be one of the solutions in this field.

Your game is running in the wrong mode.

It is best not to run any other software in the background while playing. This way, your computer resources can better focus on running the game. This rule applies to all operating systems from Windows and Mac to Linux, iOS, and Android. Close other applications before running the games.

Jumping out of the game

In the Windows operating system, there is a suitable option in this regard: Game Mode. By activating this option, other activities will be restricted while playing games, notifications will mute, and everything will focus on running the game. To activate Game Mode, you must:

  1. Go to the settings menu (Win + I)
  2. Go to “Gaming> Game Mode.”
  3. Enable the “Game Mode” option.

Your antivirus will crash.

Security and antivirus software can also cause your game to crash. As mentioned above, running various software in the background can make running your games difficult. Meanwhile, the performance of the antivirus is somewhat different because it looks for suspicious files. Scanning files can have two consequences:

  • Due to security scans, your computer crashes and then crashes.
  • One of the standard files of your game is detected, deleted, or quarantined as a dangerous file, and eventually, for this reason, your game crashes.
In this regard, there are the following solutions:
  • Limit the level of scanning files or disable this feature altogether.
  • Use security software that has a game mode.
  • It is best to disable your antivirus while playing.

Using a VPN slows down the connection of your games to the point where they crash.

Sometimes using a VPN can cause your games, especially online games, to crash. These problems usually occur when the VPN servers you are using have a problem or your VPN application cannot connect properly. Now, the farther away the game server is from you, the more likely it is that such issues will occur. In this regard, you can get help from the following solutions:

  • Use a better VPN
  • Get a faster internet connection.
  • If you can connect to your game server without a VPN, then do not use a VPN in this case.

You have opened many browser tabs.

Open browser tabs can also take up a lot of system resources, especially RAM, and are therefore one of the reasons for jumping out of the game. It is best to close the games before running them.
