The Fatal Error on Crash Bandicoot 4 can be quite intimidating, but it’s really quite an easy fix. In this post, we will take a look at how you can troubleshoot this error!
Use Windows troubleshooter
Your first option is to right-click on the application and select “Troubleshoot”. Allow “Recommended settings” and let the wizard do its work. Try running the game again to see if this fixed things!
Run as administrator
One of the best fixes for this error is to run the game as an administrator. To do this, right-click on your game launcher and select “Run as an administrator” and fire up the game again. See if this fixes things!
Suspend firewall software
There is a chance that your third party or Windows antivirus software may be causing the game to misbehave. Temporarily suspend these services and see if that fixes the problem. If you are not comfortable doing this, you can reach out to your security provider and ask them if the service might be interfering with Crash Bandicoot 4.
Add the game to NVIDIA
In case you use any NVIDIA-made graphics cards or other hardware, there is a way you can fix this issue. Right-click on your desktop and select “NVIDIA Control Panel”. Select “3D Settings” and click on “Add”. Here, select Crash Bandicoot 4. To be safe, you should switch all the settings that appear on this dialog box to “Off”. Try to start the game and see if it fixed things!
Reinstall the game.
As a last resort, you can reinstall the game. Simply go to the location you originally downloaded it from, and do it again. When prompted, click on “Replace” so that your existing files will be replaced by the new download. Start up the game again and see if this fixed your error.
If none of these worked for you, your last resort is to contact Activision Support.
