2. Verify integrity of game files

You’re most likely to have issues with launching your game properly when your game files are missing or corrupted. To make sure the data is intact and up to date, you need to verify the integrity of your game files.

1. Restart your computer and launch Steam.
2. Go to LIBRARY and then right click New World and select Properties.
   
   
3. Select the Local Files tab and click the Verify integrity of game files… button.
   
   

Steam will verify the game’s files – this process may take several minutes. Once it’s finished, remember to update your game.

If your problem persists, proceed to the next fix.

3. Update your device drivers

A driver is an essential piece of software that lets your system communicate with your hardware. If the device drivers are outdated, noticeable performance problems would surface. When there are error messages popping up while launching a program, you should consider if you’re using any outdated drivers.

You may doubt if updating drivers can make any difference. The answer is yes. Driver updates can give you a speed boost, fix problems, and sometimes even provide you with completely new features. So why not attempt to check for drivers updates and check how it works.

To update your device drivers, you can either do it manually via the Device Manager or head to the manufacturer’s driver download page to download and install the exact drivers for your system. This requires a certain level of computer knowledge and can be a headache if you aren’t tech-savvy. Therefore, we would like to recommend you use an automatic driver updater such as Driver Easy. With Driver Easy, you don’t need to waste your time hunting for driver updates as it will take care of the busy work for you.

After updating your drivers, restart your PC and try to load into your game. If this doesn’t do the trick, try the next fix below.

4. Update Windows

System files that the game relies on may be missing. So you need to make sure all the latest updates for your operating system are installed.

5. Repair your Windows system files
