When your system isn’t up-to-date, it can be incompatible with your game and cause the game to crash. Installing the available Windows updates may solve the crashing issue for you, and should also prevent other game errors caused by compatibility issues. Here’s how:

Fix 3: Update your graphics driver

If your graphics driver is faulty or outdated, it could cause your game to crash. You may want to make sure yours is up-to-date and functioning properly.

There are two ways to keep your graphics card driver up-to-date. One is to manually update it via Device Manager. If Windows doesn’t have the latest available version of the driver you need, you can also search on the manufacturer’s website. Be sure to choose only the driver that is compatible with your Windows version.

• NVIDIA
• INTEL
• AMD
• Asus

Automatic driver update – If you don’t have the time, patience, or computer skills to update your driver manually, you can, instead, do it automatically with Driver Easy . Driver Easy will automatically recognize your system and find the correct driver for your exact graphics card and your Windows version, then it will download and install the driver correctly:

2. Run Driver Easy and click the Scan Now button. Driver Easy will then scan your computer and detect any problem drivers.
3. Click the Update button next to the flagged graphics driver to automatically download the correct version of the driver, then you can manually install it (you can do this with the FREE version).

Restart your PC for the new driver to take effect. If your graphics driver is up-to-date but Tales of Arise keeps crashing, try the next fix.

Fix 4: Turn off overlays

Many programs, such as Twitch, have the overlay feature, which is quite handy and great for multitasking. But overlays could interfere with game performance and sometimes cause the games to crash.

If you have overlays on while playing Tales of Arise, try disabling them. Here we’ll show how to turn off the Steam overlay as an example:

1. Run the Steam client and navigate toSettings >>In-games .
2. Make sure Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game is disabled .
   
3. Click OK to save the changes.

On Steam, you can also turn off the overlay feature per game. If you only want to disable the overlay for Tales of Arise to test the issue, follow these steps:

1. Find Tales of Arise in your Steam library. Right-click it then selectProperties .
   
2. Under theGeneral tab, uncheck the box of_Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game_ .

3. Restart the game to test the issue.

Fix 5: Perform a clean boot

A clean boot will start your PC with the minimum sets of drivers and services that Windows requires to run.

By doing a clean boot, you can identify if any background program was interfering with Tales of Arise and causing it to crash.

Here’s how to perform a clean boot:

1. In the search bar next to the Start button, typemsconfig then clickSystem Configuration .
   
2. Under theServices tab, checkHide all Microsoft services , then clickDisable all andOK .

3. Switch to theStartup tab, clickOpen Task Manager .

4. UnderStartup tab, click each startup item then clickDisable until you’ve disabled all startup items.

5. Restart your PC.

If Arise still won’t start, jump tofix 6 below.

If Arise now starts, this means at least one of the programs you disabled was causing the problem.

Here’s how to find out which one(s):

1. In the search bar next to the Start button, typemsconfig then clickSystem Configuration .
   
2. Under theServices tab, tick theHide all Microsoft services checkbox**,** then tick the checkboxes in front ofthe first five items in the list.
   Then clickApply andOK .
   
3. Reboot your computer and launch the game. If it once again won’t launch, then you know that one of the services you ticked above is conflicting with it. If it_does_ launch, then the above five services are fine, and you’ll have to keep looking for the offending service.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 above until you find the service that conflicts with Tales of Arise.

NOTE: We recommend testing five items in a group since it’s more efficient, but you’re welcome to do it at your own pace.

If you don’t find any problematic services, you’ll need to test the startup items.Here’s how:

1. Right-click anywhere empty on your taskbar and clickTask Manager .
   
2. Switch to theStartup tab, andenable the first five startup items .

3. Reboot and try launching the game.
4. Repeat until you find the startup item that’s conflicting with Tales of Arise.
5. Disable the problem program and reboot your PC.

If you’ve tried a clean boot but Arise keeps crashing on your PC, there’s one more fix you can try.

Fix 6: Reinstall the game

If your installation process was interrupted or an error happened during the process, the game could randomly crash. Reinstalling the whole game can be a hassle, but it’s definitely worth a try as it did fix the crashing issue for some players.
