How to fix error game-crashes-at-same-spot in Windows 11

Solution Steps

1. 1 Press Windows key + R to open the Run dialog. Type 'eventvwr' and press Enter. In the Event Viewer, go to Windows Logs → Application. Look for red error entries that match the time of your crash. The 'Faulting module name' tells you which file caused the crash (e.g., a .dll or .exe). This gives you a clue whether it's a game file, a driver, or a mod.
2. 2 Open your game launcher (Steam, Epic, etc.) and find the option to verify game files. For Steam: right-click the game in your library → Properties → Installed Files → Verify integrity of game files. This checks every file against the official version and re-downloads any that are corrupted. It's like having a mechanic inspect every part of your car and replace any that are worn out.
3. 3 If you use mods, temporarily disable them all. Move the mod folder (usually in the game's directory or in Documents) to your desktop. Try launching the game and reaching the crash point. If it works, one of your mods is the culprit. Re-enable mods one by one until you find the bad one.
4. 4 Back up your save files first (copy the save folder to a safe location). Then, in your game launcher, look for 'Cloud Saves' or 'Save Files' and try loading an earlier save. If the crash only happens in a specific save, that save is corrupted. You can also try renaming the save folder to force the game to create a new one — but only after backing up.
5. 5 If the crash persists, update your graphics driver. Press Win+X and select Device Manager. Expand Display adapters, right-click your GPU, and select Update driver → Search automatically. An outdated driver can cause crashes at specific moments, especially during cutscenes with heavy effects.
