#[PC Client] - Game crashes/hangs during startup
34 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
I don't know if this is the cause, but whenever I click on enter while checking the local files, it will trigger the hiccup. If I wait for the file checking, it will run normally. My suggestion is to disable the Enter button while the launcher checks for the files
but the error will happen again after I exit the game and launch it again
I get the same error
setting the compatibility mode to windows 7 fixed this issue for me
sadly didnt work haha
nevermind it only fixed it temporarily lmao
I already sent an email to customer support about this. Hoping they can resolve this
this was still an issue back in ascension test. i had sent them this too, they did reach out to me but still hasnt been fixed
oh damn. i wasn't in the ascension test so I was not aware this has been an issue
directly running pgr.exe in the installation folder is the best thing we can do for now
just use the launcher when there's an update
i dont know if this will work for others, but it seems to work better when i have an emulator running
when i have LD player on, it has a better chance of starting
if its closed, i cant get it to work
This is such a hassle and a major turn off for future players
@earnest imp sorry for the ping, but are you running on an amd processor by any chance?
Yes, ryzen 7 3800
I think i might have found a temp fix. run the launcher as admin and disable compatibility mode. Then wait for the launcher to complete checking the files
yeah they should really disable the enter button while the launcher hasn't finished checking the files
Wait, so I just need to Run PGR.exe directly?
I'm getting the same filecheck issue as well
And startup crash
Hmm, launching the exe directly seems to work
I am on a laptop, when I want to start the game I have to unplug the charger first then to set battery mode to best battery life. After I unpluged the pc and set batery mode to best battery life. The game started fine with no problems. Then I plugged back in the charger and set the battery to best performance
Okay I discovered a consistent solution. When you open the launcher, all you have to do is let the launcher idle for about 3 minutes. This is because of the program is trying to filecheck the game before opening, but for some reason, it let's you open the game before it's finished, and also, it never actually tells you when it's done either. Therefore, once you open the launcher, give the game 2-3 minutes to do it's filecheck, and then you can open it.
Yeah this is also one of the solutions i found
I already informed customer support about this and suggested to disable the enter button until the launcher finishes checking the files
Nice, hopefully patched day one
Day one is here and they didn't patch it 😂

Well there's another workaround people found and it's adding pgr to steam
It worked for me
The exe or the launcher?
