Supervive is super fun! The free-to-play element means that there are a lot of players pouring in to try out the game. But since it is still in its early access phase, errors and other crashes are to be expected. This brings us to the crashing/not launching error that many players like yourself have been facing in Supervive. So, is there a fix for this?
Crashes at startup are one of the most common issues that gamers have to face, and Supervive is no exception. You will find many players complaining about these startup crashes all over the Steam discussion forums. All that matters now is a fix! Surely, some players facing this might have managed to fix it, right?
Supervive Crashing/Not Launching Issue troubling players: Is there any fix yet
So far, we do not have an official fix or acknowledgment from the officials. But as mentioned earlier, we do have some player suggestions and other potential fixes that could help you get back in the game. So without any further ado, here are those possible fixes.
Basic Checks
Sometimes, simple fixes can resolve persistent issues. So, start by restarting the game, which may clear any temporary glitches causing problems. If restarting the game does not help, go ahead and restart your entire system! Also, before launching the game, right-click on it and run it with admin permissions. Don’t forget to check for any pending updates for your GPU by heading to the manufacturer’s official website.
Check Your Internet Connection
A fast and stable internet connection is needed for online multiplayer games like Supervive. If your connection is unstable or slow, it can cause issues like lag or even prevent the game from launching properly. Try rebooting your internet router, using a wired Ethernet connection for a more stable signal, or switching to a different network to see if the problem persists.
Launch options
If you’re experiencing crashes or launch issues with Supervive, one workaround that has helped some players is to add the “-dx11” launch option. To do this, right-click the game in your Steam library, go to Properties, and in the General tab, under Launch Options, type “-dx11” (without quotes). This forces the game to run using DirectX 11, which can sometimes resolve compatibility issues with certain system setups.
Redists
The crashes could also be due to missing or outdated redistributables required by the game. To fix this, you can manually install all the necessary Visual C++ Redistributables and runtime libraries that the game might need. These include the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable packages, which you can download from the official Microsoft website. It’s also a good idea to check for any updates to your system’s drivers and ensure that Windows is fully up to date. Once installed, these packages should help prevent the game from repeatedly asking to reinstall C++ at every launch.
Verify Game Files
Verifying the integrity of the game files is a great way to fix issues related to missing or corrupted game files. In Steam, you can do this by right-clicking on Supervive in your library, selecting Properties, going to the Local Files tab, and clicking Verify Integrity of Game Files. This process will check for any corrupted or missing files and replace them.
Update and Reinstall
Finally, check if you are missing any updates for your system and the game. Make sure your operating system and the game are up to date, as outdated software can cause compatibility issues with newer games. If the game continues to crash or won’t launch, consider reinstalling it. Uninstalling and then reinstalling Supervive on a faster drive is what we recommend.
With these workarounds, we hope that you were able to get past the start-up crashes in Supervive.
