Granblue Fantasy: Relink is currently one of the most-played games on Steam. Overall, the game has had a very positive reception, but there have been a few complaints by Players. One of the main issues for many players is the game crashing on Steam.
Having the game crash while you are playing is one of the most annoying experiences when playing a game. Not only do you have to restart the game, you also lose your unsaved progress.
How to Fix Steam Crashes
There isn’t one specific way to fix a game crashing on Steam. This is because there are multiple reasons why your game might be crashing. We have compiled all the common causes for Granblue Fantasy: Relink, and how you can fix them.
Right Specifications and Graphic Settings
Not having the right hardware is a very common cause for the game to crash. Make sure that you have the right specifications that match what Granblue Fantasy: Relink requires.
Besides that, also try to run the game in lower settings. Even if you meet the game minimum requirements, your PC might still have issues running the game. For seamless gameplay, a PC that matches the game’s recommended specs can help.
Experiment with different settings until you find the one that lets your game run smoothly, but at the same time you can also enjoy the beauty of the game.
Graphics Drivers
No matter how good your graphics card is, you won’t be able to use it to its fullest potential without updating it. Checking your graphics drivers is also something you should do if you run into the issue of the game crashing.
Updating the drivers is fairly straightforward. Different graphic cards will be updated in different ways. For example, if you have an NVIDIA graphic card, you can go to their website and download drivers from there.
Run as Administrator
A rather simple fix, running the game using the run as administrator option can a lot of times fix the crashing issue. Running as admin will ensure that the game will have full access to what it needs to run on your PC.
By simply right-clicking the game’s icon, you will see a drop-down from where you can run the game as administrator.
Full Screen and Windowed
If you run the game windowed, try running it fullscreen. This doesn’t seem like a big issue, but it can sometimes affect the performance of the game. If you are encountering the crashing problem when fully screened, try the opposite to see if it works.
Verify Game Files on Steam
For games on Steam, you can always try verifying the game files. To verify the game files:
Open Granblue Fantasy: Relink’s properties on Steam
Go to the Local Files section
Click on “VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME FILES”
Doing this can fix any corrupted files you might have on your system.
In most cases, game crashing issues are related to one of the problems above. If your game still crashes, then your issue might be something specific, so you will have to contact the game’s support directly.
