If your hardware falls below the minimum requirements, consider upgrading. However, if your hardware meets the requirements and crashes still occur, proceed to the following solutions.

Fix 2 Run the game as administrator

Insufficient permissions can lead to crashing problems. Granting Street Fighter 6 administrator privileges can help resolve this issue. Follow these steps:

  1. Launch Steam, locate the game in your library and right-click on it. Then click Manage and Browse local files.
  2. Right-click Street Fighter 6.exe and select Properties.
  3. Choose the Compatibility tab and check the box Run this program as an administrator.
  4. Then click Apply and OK to save changes.

Launch the game again to test if the problem persists. If this trick doesn’t work, move on to the next one.

Fix 3 Update graphics driver

The Street Fighter 6 crashing problem may occur if you are using the wrong graphics driver or it’s out of date. So you should update your graphics driver to see if it fixes your problem. You can head to graphics manufacturers’ websites (like Nvidia or AMD) to download the latest drivers. However, if you don’t have the time, patience, or skills to update the driver manually, you can do it automatically with Driver Easy.

It will automatically recognize your system and find the correct drivers for it. You can update your drivers automatically with either the FREE or the Pro version of Driver Easy. But with the Pro version, it takes just 2 steps (and you get full support and a 30-day money-back guarantee):

  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 Click Update All to automatically download and install the correct version of all the drivers that are missing or out of date on your system (this requires the Pro version – you’ll be prompted to upgrade when you click Update All).
    Or, you can click the Update button next to the flagged graphics driver to automatically download the correct version of that driver, then you can manually install it (you can do this with the FREE version).
