Common errors in the game The Evil Within 2 and their solutions

The Evil Within 2 is a sequel to The Evil Within , which has enjoyed considerable popularity in Europe and the United States. For development, the Stem Engine was used , which is an improved version of “id tech”. Alittle over a day has passedsince The Evil Within 2 was released. But already in this short period of time, the game began to deliver some inconvenience to its users – crashes, loading problems, lack of “DLL” files, and so on. While the developers of Tango Gameworks, together with Bethesda Softworks, fix the game’s flaws, collecting information for new patches, we will show you how to fix the game problems that exist at the moment.

Common mistakes

Game won’t start

If your PC meets the minimum or recommended game requirements, it may be worth updating the drivers and DLLs. Also don’t forget to keep your Visual C ++ updated.
Check the integrity of the downloaded files on Steam.
We cannot and will notadvise you to disable your antivirus before installing the game. But, if you are using a licensed version of the game , then you can try, as this may help solve the problem with launching in the future. The developer, in turn, guarantees the complete safety of each game file.
At the time of installing the game, make sure that the disk has at least 60 GB of free space. Although the minimum requirements are stated to be 40 GB, in fact, a little more is required for a full installation.

G-Sync

Some players are complaining about a problem with the G-Sync technology during the game. If you are faced with such a problem, here are some tips for solving them:

Go to the Nvidia Control Panel.
Select “Manage 3D Settings” and click on the “Application Settings” tab.
Select The Evil Within 2app and enable G-sync for two modes – full screen and windowed.

Performance issues

Recently, this is a very common problem in almost all new computer games (mostly FPS loss). This is due in large part to the optimization of the game by the studio that developed it. According to the data we have collected in The Evil Within 2, this problem also exists, largely due to the fact that the game itself is very demanding on processors.

The main reason you might experience low FPS is that the game’s recommended system requirements are designed for 30 FPS (not 60). Try lowering the graphics settings to lower settings and updating the drivers for your video card (this may help solve the problem). In addition, NVidia has released an updated driver specifically for The Evil Within 2 (for GeForce cards).

Long game loading

Another problem faced by gamers. If the game takes a long time to load, then most likely the problem is the load on the hard disk. Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Alt + Delete / Ctrl + Shift + Esc) and track the process that is loading the hard drive. After completing it, the problem will most likely be resolved. It is strongly recommended that you close all applications, including those running in the background, before starting the game.

Departures and black screen

If you encounter frequent crashes from the game, try reinstalling it following the above tips. Most likely, after doing this, the problem will be resolved.
The problem with a black screen (there is sound, but no picture) is even easier to solve. Press Alt + Tab (Alt + Win + Tab) at the same time. If you went to the desktop, switch back to the task with the game – the picture will appear. But, if the problem persists, try updating the video card drivers.
