The new extraction shooter, ARC Raiders, is now available! While it arrived a bit later on Xbox and PlayStation 5, initial playtests showed a lot of promise. Even though it’s not a free-to-play game and doesn’t offer a single-player option, many players have already jumped in on Steam, causing some server problems and crashes for PC users. Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to try and fix these issues.
What to do when ARC Raiders is crashing on PC
There are many potential reasons why ARC Raiders might be crashing on your computer, as everyone’s system is unique. But if you’ve confirmed your PC meets the game’s recommended specifications (you can find these at the bottom of the ARC Raiders Steam page), here are some troubleshooting steps to try if you’re still experiencing crashes.
- For AMD users: Turn off ray tracing. When the first settings menu appears, don’t hit “Confirm” right away, click “All Settings” instead. Then go to the Graphics tab, scroll down to Ray Tracing, and set it to “Static.”
- Update or reinstall your graphics drivers: It might sound basic, but some players have actually fixed crashes by reinstalling their drivers.
- Check for Windows updates: Another simple step, but easy to miss. Make sure your system is fully up to date.
- Restart your PC: After updating or reinstalling drivers, restart your computer or laptop and try launching the game again.
What to do when ARC Raiders is crashing during shader compilation
If your computer is crashing while trying to load game graphics, it might be because your system doesn’t quite meet the game’s requirements, or because you’ve pushed your hardware too far with overclocking. If you’re only meeting the minimum specifications for ARC Raiders, experiment with the graphics settings to find a balance between quality and performance. If you’ve overclocked your system and need to undo those changes, here’s a quick refresher on how to do it.
- If you’re using overclocking software (like MSI Afterburner, Ryzen Master, or similar), just hit the “Reset to Default” button.
- Via BIOS/UEFI: Look for CPU, GPU, or RAM overclocking settings and select “Load Optimized Defaults” or “Load Default Settings”. Save and exit to restart your PC.
Other things you can try to fix shader crashes:
- Disable any frame limit.
- Make sure your PC and graphics card drivers are fully up to date.
- Turn off any overlays.
- Delete the shader cache, you can do this via Windows’ Disk Cleanup utility.
