Fix 3: Update your graphics driver

One of the most common causes of this error is corrupted or outdated graphics drivers. So you should definitely try updating your drivers before trying anything more complicated. GPU manufacturers keep releasing new drivers all the time, improving performance and compatibility with new titles. That’s exactly why we recommend to always use the latest driver.

There’re mainly 2 ways you can update your graphics driver: manually or automatically.

Option 1: Update your graphics driver manually

To manually update your graphics driver, you can first visit your GPU manufacturer’s website:

• NVIDIA
• AMD
• Intel

Then search for your exact graphics model. Be sure to download the latest correct driver that’s compatible with your operating system. And don’t forget to do a reboot afterwards.

Option 2: Update your graphics driver automatically (Recommended)

If you don’t have the time, patience or computer skills to update your graphics drivers manually, you can, instead, do it automatically with Driver Easy. Driver Easy will automatically recognize your system and find the correct drivers for your exact graphics card, and your Windows version, and it will download and install them correctly:

1. Download and install Driver Easy.
2. Run Driver Easy, then click Scan Now. Driver Easy will then scan your computer and detect any problem drivers.
   
3. Click Update All to automatically download and install the correct version of all the drivers that are missing or out of date on your system.
   (This requires the Pro version – you’ll be prompted to upgrade when you click Update All. If you don’t want to pay for the Pro version, you can still download and install all the drivers you need with the free version; you just have to download them one at a time, and manually install them, the normal Windows way.)
   

After updating your graphics driver, restart your computer and check if the crash with Spellbreak has disappeared.

If the problem persists, simply continue to the next method.

Fix 4: Disable in-game overlays

While in-game overlays make it convenient to share, communicate and purchase, it might also be the culprit of your crashing issue with Spellbreak. If you’re using in-game overlays such as GeForce Experience, Discord or Radeon™ Overlay, try disabling them and check if it fixes your problem.

If Spellbreak crashes when you’re not using any overlays, simply try the next solution below.

Fix 5: Stop overclocking

Some players reported that they managed to fix the crash with Spellbreak by closing the overclocking software. Indeed, overclocking offers a free-of-charge performance boost, but at the cost of system stability. So if you’re using BIOS settings or overclocking software such as MSI Afterburner and Intel Extreme Tuning Utility (Intel XTU), there’re great chances that your game will crash constantly. You can therefore try to stop overclocking and see if it fixes the crash.

If this method doesn’t work out for you, simply try the next one.

Fix 6: Perform a clean boot

One possible cause of game crashes is that you’re having software conflicts. If that’s the case, you can perform a clean boot to root out the offender.

Here’s how:

1. On your keyboard, press the Windows logo key and R at the same time to invoke the Run box. Type msconfig and press Enter.
   
2. Navigate to the Services tab, then check the box next to Hide all Microsoft services.
   
3. Find services that DO NOT belong to your graphics card or sound card manufacturers such as NVIDIA, AMD, Realtek, Intel. Uncheck the boxes next to these services and click OK.
   
4. Restart your computer and test your gameplay in Spellbreak.
5. If the crash stops, you can root out the conflicting software by repeating these steps, but only disable half of the services.

If the crash reappears, you can check out the next solution.

Fix 7: Disable VSync

VSync refers to Vertical Sync, a graphics technology that synchronizes the in-game FPS with the refresh rate of your monitor. While it repairs the screen tearing issue in some games, it cloud also trigger instability according to some feedback. So you can try to turn it off and see how it goes.

You can disable VSync in the control panel of your graphics card. And here’s an example of NVIDIA:

1. Right-click the empty area of your desktop and select NVIDIA Control Panel.
   
2. From the left menu, select Manage 3D settings. Make sure you’re at the Global Settings tab, then click the text next to Vertical sync and select off.
   
3. Launch Spellbreak and see if the crash stops.
