It’s Epic Games responsibility to ultimately iron out these issues, and to practise writing more watertight code. Unfortunately, there isn’t a lot I can do about the inherently resource intensive and buggy nature of the Unreal Engine.

If you believe none of these apply to you and your game is still crashing, you should consider reporting the issue to Gears for Breakfast. Failing that, wait for a little while before retrying the game, or wait for Valve to roll out another patch for Steam. In light of this, the best advice that I can offer to you right now is to follow the advice in this guide. With this in mind, it could also be issues with how the game, the Steam client, Steam servers, GFB/AHIT servers, and the Steamworks API might not communicating with each other properly. If ultimately your crash to desktop issue isn’t game configuration or mod related, you may want to ensure that your system and hardware drivers are up to date, and carry out any essential hardware upgrades if you happen to fall short of the game’s minimum recommended system requirements.Īs of recently, Valve has released a major update to how the Steam client works.

For example, the original boxed retail edition of Postal 2 frequently crashes to desktop when too much is happening in the game, because the engine can’t cope.
