How To Fix Errors In Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection

by

Crashes on old processors, non-working gamepad, sound problems and more

Sony continues to release former PlayStation exclusives on PC. This time, for some reason, they released the fourth part of Uncharted along with a spin-off and without the original trilogy. Although the plot in both games is quite independent, and the picture is almost not outdated over the years. In general, the launch of the port went quite smoothly, but players still encountered some technical problems. In this guide, we will deal with the most common of them.

What kind of computer is needed for Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection (system requirements)

Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection won’t launch on Windows 7

The game is not designed to run on Microsoft operating systems older than Windows 10.

If you have Windows 10, and the game still does not start, then try installing all the latest updates.

The game crashes on an old processor (AMD FX, old-generation Core i5, etc.)

The game requires a relatively modern processor with support for AVX2 instructions, as well as a video card that supports DirectX 12. But there may be a patch later that fixes this problem, as happened with most games with similar requirements.

Game crashes without error

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. If the first did not help, then check the integrity of the game files:
  3. start Steam;
  4. go to the “Library” section;
  5. right- click on the game name ( Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection) in the list on the left and open the properties;
  6. in the “Local files” tab, click “Verify integrity of game files”;
  7. wait for the process to complete.

“Out of memory” error in Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection

Your PC is running out of RAM. The best solution is to increase the amount of RAM to at least 8 gigabytes. Increasing the swap file probably won’t help. Also, be sure to close your browser before launching any game. Especially if it has a large number of open tabs.

The resolution does not change in the game / the image goes beyond the screen

This problem can occur if screen scaling is enabled in Windows. You can compensate for this in the following way:

  1. Find the exefile in the game folder.
  2. Go to properties and go to the “Compatibility” tab.
  3. Click the “Change high DPI settings” button.
  4. In the “Override scaling mode…” option, select “Application”.
