There are different ways to fix the error in the game. It all depends, as a rule, on the game itself, software, computer components, operating system diagnostics.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, the game itself can cause the error. The fact is that some games, especially the very first versions, may have their drawbacks. Often they are fixed with a new version, patch, mod, etc. If the game is installed and has never been modified, you should check for "patches" on a special site (for example, https://www.playground.ru). If the additions are insignificant and there are no files to "fix" errors in the game, then the cause of the error is different
Step 2
Often the cause of the error can be a long non-update of drivers and special applications for video. Therefore, you need to update the driver for the video card (on the official website), you can find out which driver you need to install using the Everest program. You also need to update the DirectX version (if you have not updated it for a long time).
Step 3
At the same time, the conflict in games is caused by an un-updated Windows version. In particular, this applies to the Windows XP version. Some games directly require the installation of Service Pack 3. But some, despite the fact that they need Service Pack 3 to work correctly, do not require it, but simply turn off by a system error. Therefore, if you have Windows XP, then it needs to be updated to Service Pack 3.
Step 4
Antivirus or firewall can cause an error in network games while connecting to the server. To fix such an error, you need to add an "exception rule" to the firewall / antivirus and add this game there.
Step 5
There is no doubt that a weak computer configuration can cause an error in the game. Before installing the game, you need to know its system requirements and check with yours. The game can load RAM, video card, which can cause system errors, and sometimes even abrupt reboots of the operating system. This problem can only be corrected by replacing the components.
