The newly released WWE 2k24 is a wrestling sports game that delivers the ultimate simulation for wrestling and gives the most realistic experience to gamers. Although its requirements aren’t much, there would be a few malfunctions as this would be the latest addition to your game library. So, in case you do not face any crashes during the launch on your PC, in this article, we will recommend a few steps that can increase the stability of the game on your PC. Here is how to fix the WWE 2K24 crash at launch issue on PC.
How to Fix WWE 2K24 Crash on Launch Issue
There could be different reasons for this game to crash on your PC, but today, we will give you a few obvious technical issues that can occur when launching this game.
Check the files of the Game
Keeping the files in working order has to be prioritized first. Usually, a crash happens when any files are missing or broken. But you can easily find out which issue happened here through scanning. To scan, you need Steam. To check the files are in the right condition,
- Go to Steam and Find the library.
- In the library, you can see WWE 2k24. Just Right Click on it.
- A list of options will open up, and on the bottom part, you can see Properties.
- If you move to Properties, you will find LOCAL FILES tab.
- Now you need to tap on Verify Integrity of local files…
- After a few minutes, this would start a scan, and if it eventually finds any defective file, Steam will fix that for you by installing it again.
GPU Drivers not updated to date
Secondly, if your GPU Drivers are not updated to the latest version, it could create an issue for the game to crash. Here’s a list of links to get the recent version.
- Intel
- AMD
- NVIDIA
Visual C++ Redistributables and DirectX not updated
If your Visual C++ Redistributables and DirectX are not current, that would add to crashing and not launching the game. We are providing the link to the latest version below:
- Visual C++ Redistributables
- DirectX
Convert the GPU from integrated to dedicated
We divide the steps for Nvidia and AMD GPU below to better understand the process.
To transfer from Integrated Nvidia to Dedicated Nvidia GPU, open it first. As you go to the Nvidia Control Panel, look for 3D Settings and click Manage 3D Settings. Right after you tap on it, Program Settings will be visible, and you need to open it now. There, you will see a dropdown menu where WWE2k24 is present. Select it, and another dropdown menu will appear. In this second dropdown menu, you must select the preferred graphics processor for this program. Now, as your Nvidia GPU shifts to a High-Performance Nvidia processor, save it.
Meanwhile, on the other hand, you have to open Radeon Settings to convert AMD GPU to Dedicated AMD GPU. Here, from the Additional Settings, you have to look for Preferences. Now, as you open Preferences, you can see Power. Choose Power and proceed to Switchable Graphics Application Settings. You can find WWE 2k24 in the list when you enter Application Settings. Although the game should be there, in case it doesn’t, just select Executable from the Installation Directory, which would help you to add the new game instantly from the recent install list, and you can select it later. Finally, choose the High-Performance Profile, which is in the graphics settings.
See if your Windows needs to be updated
It’s not mandatory, but sometimes, not updating to its latest date can create issues for games to run. So, in such case, go to Windows Search and write Update, then Check for Updates will show up for you to click on. Now, Windows Update will display on the screen, and thus, you can see if you are on the right update.
