Fix Fatal Error, Crashing, Black Screen & Infinite Loading – Kardboard Kings

There are a few possible issues that make your Kardboard Kings crash or have other errors.

Game Files Integrity

First off, you should check the integrity of the Kardboard Kings’ files. You will do that by following these steps:

• Launch Steam and go to Library;
• Right-click on Kardboard Kings and select Properties;
• Go to Local Files and click on Verify integrity of game files.

Once you’ve done that, start Kardboard Kings and check if there are still errors with it. If that is the case, make sure to check other options, proposed down below.

Out-of-date GPU Drivers and Operating System

Your GPU Driver and Operating System could be out-of-date. This is easily fixed if there is, indeed, an update that you’ve missed. 

To update your Operating System, go to Windows Update Settings and there you will find out if any updates are necessary.

As for the GPU Driver:

• Open Start menu and search for Device Manager;
• Here you will find Display adapters;
• Right-click your GPU;
• Click on Update Driver.

Administrator and Fullscreen Optimizations

• Right-click on Kardboard Kings;
• Go to Properties and then the Compatibility tab;
• Pick an option that says Run this program as an administrator and then Disable Fullscreen Optimizations;
• Once you did that, click on Apply and Ok.

Allow Controlled Folder Access To The Game

It is possible that when installing Kardboard Kings your Windows didn’t allow it to access the controlled folders that are crucial for the game.

• Go to the Start menu and click on Settings;
• A window will open and here you will select these in the same order: Update & Security, Windows Security and Virus & threat protection;
• Click on Manage settings;
• Find Controlled folder access and go to Manage Controlled folder access;
• Turn the Controlled folder access from the On to Off option.

Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling and Power Plan

Computer could not be performing properly if the processor has an integrated graphics card.

• Go to Start menu and search for Graphics Settings;
• Ensure that Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling is turned on;
• Click Browse and find the Kardboard King executable file;
• Select a GPU performance based option which helps your processor solve this problem.

Update DirectX and Visual C++ Redistributables

Update or reinstall your Microsoft C++ redistributables to ensure compatibility with your game.

• Press the Windows key + I, this opens the Settings menu. Then click on Update & Security;
• In the Windows Updates tab, select the Check for updates option.

This should fix the problem. However, if it doesn’t just go to the official Microsoft download page, it will give you everything you need to install. Make sure to restart your PC after this and then try launching Kardboard Kings after that.

Reinstall The Game

The game is still not performing adequately? The last thing you can do is uninstall and reinstall Kardboard Kings. And if this doesn’t work either, see if the Steam support has any other solutions.
