The Evil Within crashes

If The Evil Within doesn't work for you and you can't even start it, most likely we can help you. Follow the instructions and descriptions and you will understand what the problem was and, if possible, fix it.

1. Is your computer suitable for the minimum system requirements The Evil Within?

Often the problem for the players is precisely in the mismatch of the system requirements of The Evil Within:

OS: 64-bit Windows 7 SP1 / Windows 8.1
Processor: i7 or equivalent with at least four cores
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Video card: GTX 460 1 GB VRAM or equivalent
DirectX: 11
Hard Drive: 50 GB available space

It is worth dwelling on this point in more detail. Please note that The Evil Within is working only on 64-bit Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, if yours is different operating system or a 32-bit system - your game won't start. We are sorry.

The second and no less important point of system requirements is the DirectX version. Your graphics card must support DirectX 11 otherwise you will get an error when starting the game. You can check the DirectX of your video card in its specifications on the Internet, or using the GPU-Z program.

2. The second common problem is the absence or improper installation of important components for the operation of games. Install these components one by one:

We hope our material helped you in fixing technical troubles with The Evil Within.

No matter how hard the developers try, creating an ideal project that will fit all hardware will not work. Therefore, a couple of The Evil Within 2 crashes, does not start, lags, freezes, slows down, a black screen appears or crashes to the desktop. Of course, a logical question arises: what to do? If The Evil Within 2 is experiencing any technical problems, then this guide will certainly help in solving them. However, first, I recommend checking the system requirements and checking them carefully.

Minimum system requirements for The Evil Within 2

• ✔ Operating system: Windows 7 / 8.1 / 10 (64-bit versions)
• ✔ CPU: Intel Core i5-2400 or AMD FX-8320 or better;
• ✔ Video card: NVIDIA GTX 660 2GB or AMD HD 7970 3GB or better;
• ✔ RAM:"8 GB of RAM";
• ✔ Hard disk space:"40 GB";
• ✔ DirectX:"Versions 11".

• ✔ Operating system: Windows 7 / 8.1 / 10 (64-bit versions);
• ✔ CPU: Intel Core i7-4770 or AMD Ryzen 5 1600X or better;
• ✔ Video card: "NVIDIA GTX 1060 6GB or AMD RX 480 8GB or better";
• ✔ RAM:"16 GB of RAM";
• ✔ Disk space:"40 GB";
• ✔ DirectX: "Versions 11".

The game won't start

The most common and unpleasant problem can be the inability to start the game. Fortunately, this is easy to fix in most cases. First, make sure to disable your antivirus before installing the game, as it may damage or delete some files. Secondly, install the game in a folder, the path to which does not contain Cyrillic. And thirdly, make sure that your system is at least similar to what is specified in the minimum system requirements. If you did everything correctly, but the game still won't launch, check the integrity of the cache on Steam. Also try running the game as administrator. If this does not help, try launching directly from the Steam libraries.

The game crashes to the desktop

If you are faced with a crash problem, most likely there is not enough free space on your computer. random access memory the game needs. In the best way to fix the problem, if it is a lack of RAM, is to close third-party applications: antivirus, browser, downloads, players, etc. In addition, when departing from a specific location, you can temporarily lower the graphics settings.

Slows down, low FPS, lags, freezes

We want to note right away that the game is very demanding on processors, and therefore a dual-core CPU in most cases may not be enough for an acceptable frame rate. If your system fully meets the above requirements, but you still witness frantic brakes, first of all update the video card driver. Nvidia and AMD have released new versions of their drivers, which are optimized specifically for The Evil Within 2. External applications, downloads and stuff like that are best turned off for the duration of the game. If you are playing on a laptop, make sure you have a discrete graphics card exposed, not an integrated one.

Black screen

As a rule, the black screen problem can be solved by simply switching to windowed mode(to do this, press the Alt + Enter key combination). If this trivial method did not help you, the system meets the requirements, and the drivers are all updated, then try starting the game from the root folder (as administrator) or from the Steam library. Also make sure that this problem does not occur in other games. Otherwise, the problem may be due to a malfunctioning video card.

Gamepad / keyboard not working

If several input devices are connected to your computer at the same time, then in some games this may cause control problems. At the time of the game, pull out the extra device (on which you are not playing) from the computer, and then try again to check the control. It is worth noting that the game may not support some controllers. It is best to use a controller with a keyboard layout similar to the Xbox 360 / Xbox One.

No Russian language

First, try checking the Russian language in the settings. If it's not there, you can also find it in the Steam properties. If this fails, or you are playing on consoles, make sure that you have the Russian version of the game, as versions of other regions by default may not contain all the official localizations. You should not download third-party crackers, as The Evil Within 2 is fully localized into Russian, including both text and character voice acting.

DLL error

Often this problem can be solved by simply reinstalling the game with disabled antivirus and any other software that can delete the game files. However, you can also use the DLL-fixer program, which will scan the system itself for the missing file and automatically download and install it.

Sound does not work

Before you swear at optimization, make sure that everything is in order with your sound device, and that the sound is turned on in the Windows settings themselves. Then check if there is sound in other games. Alternatively, go to the game settings and try changing the options there. If there is still no sound, you may need to update your driver. Most often this problem may occur on external audio cards, so always update your driver to the most recent version.

Not installed

First, make sure that there is more than enough disk space where you are installing the game. We remind you that you need at least 40 GB of free memory, but ideally there should be even more. If everything is fine with the memory and the installation is stuck, check your internet connection. You may have experienced a crash and the installation was interrupted because of this. Also make sure that the download is not being blocked by your antivirus.

Well, that day has come, the day of the release of the game The Evil Within - a horror that promises to scare the player not only by surprise, but also by the atmosphere, graphics, soundtrack. to what extent the developers did it, it's up to you. We do not know if the game will be able to surpass the same Alien Isolation, which turned out to be a gorgeous survey horror - time will tell. In the meantime, the standard theme at the start of the game is about errors, crashes and bugs in the game. Go.

we will leave the kintso to the console peasants, and the PC boyars play GAMES.

Quoting Zmey:

"" - definitely admit. Well, couldn't a clown write that?

Was it a shame for the profession? Afraid that you and the others might be overshadowed?

I quote from sergtrav:

I quote RadeoForce:

"admit the existence of clowns"- definitely admit it. Well, couldn't a clown write that?

I quote RadeoForce:

Maybe you should have asked before throwing accusations around?

Or maybe we should still admit the existence of clowns and call them by their proper names, without hesitation?

I quote RadeoForce:

Such a drawdown on the gamegpu segment is most likely not due to the processor, but due to the dopa, which, according to the mind, turns off altogether

why? it also adds a cinematic effect. especially in this segment it is only at the end when shooting. in the game itself it is almost absent and it is only in cutscenes.

Because I don't think that most people bother too much or pay attention when their FPS drops from 50 to 38 for a couple of seconds or in a couple of scenes.

maybe you are right. the fact remains a veil - that is how many fps, exactly in that place and when repeating the test segment. I have there at 1070 in 1440r even 51 average and does not smell if nothing is done with the process, but the minimum converges. even taking into account that it is not a ref and with a slight overclocking.
this site shows the worst moments of the games. if you want everything to be clear, then you are definitely in the wrong place. so you can stand in the corner in any game or look at the sky. Wow! 300 fps on a triple.
RADEOFORCE
Yes, yesterday we figured out everything. the game is absolutely not for the test. whoever could, he launched it. whoever succeeded more or less, he fixed the percentage at a constant frequency of 100 pounds and drove to the navel. here is the cut here for example: www.playground.ru/video/the_evil_within_2/the_evil_within_2_gtx_1080_ti_vs_gtx_1080_vs_gtx_1070_vs_gtx_1060-164439/ somewhere from 2.05 this forest. I do not want to look for Duda on YouTube. By the way, it also converges with it if the percentage is up to 4.2 to overclock and fix. although the difference in frequencies may give nothing. haven't tried it.

I quote RadeoForce:

Sashka-Kuznecov-vkontakte

On average, 970 fps is somewhere around 50+ - a couple of three frames. I noticed this from the already 3 hours of play.
Regarding the conspiracy, well, then they are always chosen on this site for such segments, because it all started with what I wrote that usually on this site I always +10 fps to the minimum or average. Because I don't think that most people bother too much or pay attention when their FPS drops from 50 to 38 for a couple of seconds or in a couple of scenes.
And yet ... I sleep :) Sori for srach and for some quick temper in some moments

Sashka-Kuznecov-vkontakte
and you look at it from the other side: looked into the tests for the Germans, there it is at 970 50-53 fps, you think, I will overclock it, it will be about 60. You buy. And then you start the game, you come across such places, and bummer. Not even on the example of this game, but in general.
There is no conspiracy here, they chose a difficult segment and that's all
Quote:

By the way, here's a quote from the article, smiled

Well I do not know. Several times I ran the segment with measurement, before recording the video, the spread was no more than 1 fps

Sashka-Kuznecov-vkontakte
Quote:

Well, you played about 7 hours and that often there was a minimum FPS as indicated here on the site? or even at least average. well, so pure in sight.

typical fps at an overclocked 470 is about 55-65, but drawdowns up to 45 are found here and there. The section at gamegpu is one of the most difficult, there are only a few such places. On the segment of gamegpu, I sank to 36, I even wrote it down yesterday. By the way, you can record a video in the same way.

It makes no sense for me to lie

I’m not saying that you’re lying. But I also see you for the first time to just take your word for it.
And to believe that this is exactly 970 - run msi ab or gpu-z, everything is written there. Although I don’t think it will come to this and someone will not believe
Quote:

I just expressed the opinion that the site is fooling people by deliberately underestimating the performance in some positions, this applies to both the CPU and GPU, period.

Well, look: you want people to take your word for it, and you yourself are not ashamed to accuse others of lying.
I don’t know how, in such situations, one can complain about the underestimation of the results, when the Maxwells in this segment showed themselves the best, 980 in general almost caught up with 1070, 980 - 1080 and vega. And all the other cards are in their places, without surprises (except that the trucks still performed well). It would be fine to drop 970 below the baseboard, but then level 580

Quoting Vanos:

RADEOFORCE, ROW

What did they get to the dude, so what is the ref, and what really can be indicators like in the test, the main thing is that he has at least 50 kadrikov and period
