Peak Game Crashing Issues Troubling Players: Is there any fix yet
As the game devs are still working on the issue, an official patch to fix this issue hasn’t been released yet. Well, in the meantime, you can try some general troubleshooting, which can help fix the issue. Here are the workarounds you can try:
Restart your PC
First and foremost, close the game and restart your PC. This will clean any temporary glitches causing the issue.
Verify Game Files
After restarting the PC, verifying game files will repair any corrupted or missing game files. To do this: Open Steam. Go to Library, right-click Peak Game -> Properties -> Installed Files -> Verify the integrity of game files.
Run Game as Administrator
Sometimes, insufficient permissions can cause applications to crash. Navigate to PEAK’s installation folder, right-click the game’s executable file (.exe), select “Properties,” go to the “Compatibility” tab, and check “Run this program as an administrator.”
Even after trying these methods, if you are facing the crash issues, then there is a workaround shared on the Steam forum that has worked for many players, which is mentioned below.
Switch to DX12
Some players have reported that launching the game with DirectX 12 instead of the default setting has resolved crashing issues. When starting the game, there is an option to play using DX12 or Vulkan; simply choose DX12 (DirectX12) and launch the game. Using -dx12 forces the game to run on DirectX 12, which improves stability for certain GPU configurations.
To do this manually—
- Open Steam and go to your Library.
- Right-click on Peak Game and select Properties.
- Under the General tab, find Launch Options.
- Type in: -dx12
- Close the window and start the game.
Trying these workarounds should fix the issue. For some AMD users, switching to DX12 might make the game a bit choppy, but at least it lets you in. That said, we hope you found this guide helpful. Make sure to visit DigiStatement regularly for more content on all things gaming.
