Evil Dead The Game: How To Fix Crashing

Evil Dead Crashing: The Evil Dead franchise is back with another offering to expand its legacy. Saber Interactive will be developing and publishing the title. As you might already know, Sam Raimi is the creator of this legendary franchise of comedy and horror. He is widely known for his creations like Spider-Man, Doctor Strange and many more big titles.

There are several reasons why games might crash. One of the most common reasons is problems with the game’s code. When a game’s code has errors, it can cause the game to crash. Another common reason for crashing is computer hardware or software problems. For example, If a computer doesn’t have enough memory or storage space, it might cause games to crash.

Also, let’s not forget that the game just came out; the developers can’t create a perfect game for everyone. Most of the AAA titles released last year had a huge number of issues. The important thing is for developers to acknowledge the problems and fix them.

Today’s article will find out simple fixes to take care of the crashing problem in Evil Dead.

How To Fix Crashing in Evil Dead

Note: These are traditional tweaks that work for every game whenever there are problems.

First and foremost, make sure that your computer meets the minimum system requirements for the game you’re playing. If your computer is outdated or doesn’t have a powerful graphics card, you will likely experience crashes.

Update Graphics Drivers

Next, make sure that your drivers are up-to-date. Outdated drivers can cause all sorts of problems, including game crashes. You can check for driver updates by visiting your device manufacturer’s website.

When you play a video game or watch a movie, the graphics card is responsible for displaying the images on your screen. If your graphics card isn’t working correctly, you may experience lag, or the images may not be shown correctly. Updating your graphic drivers can help increase your performance and fix any display issues you may be experiencing.

I have seen people reporting crashes from time to time, and they haven’t updated their Graphics drivers for a while. You can easily update your graphic drivers by heading to the official websites:

• Go here for Nvidia Drivers Download
• Go here for AMD Drivers Download

Nvidia has already released the 0-day update for Evil Dead; you can download it using Geforce Experience. The update version is 512.77.

Disable Overclocking

In the game crashing fiasco, overclocking is the culprit most of the time. Some players were able to fix this issue by bringing their GPU and CPU to default frequencies. MSI Afterburner and Zotac Firestorm are two popular tools used to overclock GPUs, both of these are known for creating problems for newer titles.

While it is not clear how many players are affected by the crashes, it is a good reminder that overclocking can be dangerous if not done correctly. It’s also worth noting that even if you don’t experience any crashes while overclocking, your system may still be unstable and could crash at any time.

Install Visual C++ Redistributables

Visual C++ redistributable is a software component installed on a computer to run applications developed with Visual C++. Updating or installing this has helped solve the crashing issues in multiple games we covered earlier.

You can download Visual C++ Redistributable Runtimes All-in-One from here. Unzip the file and launch “install_all.bat” as Administrator.

Tone Down Settings

If you’re experiencing crashes while playing Evil Dead, you may need to tone down your settings. Many games have minimum system requirements to prevent crashes and other issues. Checking your system requirements before purchasing a game is always a good idea.

Lowering your graphics settings can also improve your game’s performance. This is especially true for laptops and older PCs. By reducing the quality of your graphics, you can achieve better framerates and a smoother gaming experience.

However, Not all graphics settings need to be lowered to improve performance. You may get away with disabling or reducing the quality of only a few settings. Experiment with different combinations until you find the best balance between graphics quality and performance for you.

Verify Game Files using Epic Launcher

There may be times when your game files get corrupted. This can cause the game not to work properly or not work at all. To fix this, you need to verify the game files. This process will scan through the game files and fix any corrupted ones. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Open Epic Games Launcher.
2. Click on the Library Tab and Locate “Evil Dead”
3. Click on the “…” and select Verify as shown in the image below:

Epic Launcher will now start looking for problems in the installation and will fix if there are any. This works and comes in handy many times, even for games on Steam.

Disable Overlays

If you are using Discord like me, I’d recommend you change a few things. One such thing is discord overlay; it’s not something you need at all times. I use a two-monitor setup, so the overlay is useless for me. It is also known to cause FPS drops.

Disable in-game Discord Overlay

• Open Discord
• Go to Overlay under App Settings
• Click on the radio button next to the “Enable in-game overlay” text.

Add Evil Dead to Windows Firewall Exception

Windows Firewall is known to cause game crashing for some players. This problem often goes unnoticed by the developers of the games, as they can’t test their games on every possible operating system and configuration. Players with this issue are advised to add the game as an exception or disable the firewall during gameplay.

To add Evil Dead as an exception:

• Open Search in Windows
• Type “Firewall” and select “Firewall and Network protection”
• Click on “Allow an app through firewall.”
• A new window will open up, listing the Allowed apps and features
• Locate “Evil Dead” and click on both Private and Public checkboxes.

Fix Drive Errors using Windows CHKDSK Utility

A CHKDSK scan, also known as a disk check, is a process that scans your computer’s hard drive for errors. The scan can take a while to complete, but it’s worth ensuring your computer is running smoothly. If you’re experiencing problems with your computer, a CHKDSK scan may be able to fix them.

To run a CHKDSK scan on Windows 10

• Go to the Start menu and type “cmd.”
• Right-click on the “Command Prompt” option and select “Run as Administrator.”
• Type “chkdsk C: /r” in the command prompt window and press Enter. Without quotes, obviously.

You may be asked to enter your administrator password. The CHKDSK scan will begin automatically.

As mentioned before, most of these are not fixes exclusive to Evil Dead PC Game. These traditional methods work most of the time whenever there are issues such as crashing in games.

These are all the ways using which you can fix crashing in Evil Dead. If you are still facing problems, it is recommended that you contact the developers or maybe find out if this is a game-specific problem. Also, keep an eye out on the official developer forums and Reddit.
