Unity Games crash on startup (867733)

what are your specs?

The same problem happens to me with Desperados 3 and i’ve managed to make it work again.
When trying to launch DXdiag, i’ve found the windows search bar was not working anymore so i’ve ran some commands (sfc, DSIM, .dll replacement) to try to repair it, and finally it manages to either repair the Windows Search AND the game…

I hope it can help some people maybe : Unity crash on startup :: Desperados III General Discussions

That crash is within game code (rather than the engine code) so unfortunately the details are invisible to us. I’d advice talking with the game developer about it.

pls help me too

Can you attach the logs/crash dumps? Can’t really help you without any additional information.

dont know how to do that but i can provide you with the history of my laptop

Look at the “Player-related log locations” section: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/LogFiles.html

Yes. On the last line of that log file, it tells you where it puts crash logs to: “C:/Users/MSi/AppData/Local/Temp/Johan Gronvall/BoplBattle/Crashes”. Can you zip up that folder and upload it too?

Yes. Thanks.

The crash is happening in your graphics driver. Your graphics driver is 8 years old (dated November, 2015). The crash itself is happening during swapchain creation. I can offer three workarounds:

  1. Upgrade your graphics driver;
  2. Disable Steam overlay for the game;
  3. Try running the game with “-force-d3d11-bltblt-mode” command line argument. It will force it into a lower performance swapchain version but maybe it will make the driver not crash as that technology is much older.

I would first try 1. If that doesn’t work, try 2. Only if that doesn’t work, try 3.

okay so about that

i knew about the old graphics driver and i also know my windows is old
but whenever i try to upgrade my driver the graphics card never works
when my friend tried to help me he told me that the only way he could make it work was by disabling windows automatic updates and installing an old driver because when the newest drivers were installed the laptop didnt want to switch to the graphics card and kept using the integrated graphics

i should also mention that the laptop is a msi GX70 destroyer gaming laptop that my family bought from a relative that refurbishes laptops
also on the sticker it says that the graphics card is an amd R9 M290X but when i look at the device manager it says its an amd HD 8970M

thats pretty much all i have to say
pls help

Dear Tautvydas-Zilys, I am also experiencing crashes with two Unity games I have been playing recently; Lethal company and Death Must Die. Both games crash, right after startup.

I’ve already tried the following things:

-reinstalled display drivers (used DDU to remove old ones)
-tried starting games in admin mode
-windows 10 reset, new drivers etc.
-windows reset, install Windows 11, new drivers, etc.
-memtest86 was without a problem
-prime 95 test no problem
-Timespy GPU stress test with no problem
-installed the latest bios and chipset drivers
-installed the game on my second SSD
-no issues in other games (Age of Empires 4, Forza Horizon 5, Guild Wars 2, WoW, Heroes of the Storm) also Battle bit, which is a Unity game works.

It is also strange, that those two games sometimes work, but then other times don’t. I started playing Death Must Die, yesterday evening, but today, when I tried it, the same problem happened (both games didn’t work the whole day, after many restarts in between all the restarts and updates I mentioned above). Like, a service in the background sometimes works, and other times doesn’t.

Did you try the options 2 & 3 I outlined?

Your crashes seem related to some kind of Human Interface Device. Do you have any USB or bluetooth devices connected to your computer other than your keyboard or mouse? Or maybe some virtual controller software installed, like vJoy? I’d try disconnecting/disabling them.

Damn, that was it! Thanks, a lot.
I have an FPS stike pack on my PS4 controller (for two additional buttons in the back) and that was causing it.

Still curious, why isn’t it crashing Battle Bit for example?

It’s a bug in the particular version of the engine that the games that were crashing were made in.
