Quick Fix: Clash of Clans Crashing After Update

clash of clans crashing after update

This tutorial will show you how to fix Clash of Clans crashing after update.

Despite the exciting gameplay and graphical display offered by Clash of Clans (CoC), it has fallen short in the area of bug fixes, with gamers experiencing various degrees of crashes after updating the game.

This leaves one to wonder if the new updates come with more bugs, instead of bug fixes and patches. And unfortunately, this is seriously killing the fun of the game.

To fix this, you can try some of solutions herein.

Fix: Clash of Clans Crashing After Update

While the issue of game crashing is not alien to CoC gamers, the after-update crashing seems somewhat mysterious. The probable cause(s) has been attributed to incomplete/faulty installation, system glitch and/or connection error.

In any case, you can try the fixes below:

Fix 1: Restart Phone

While the actual cause of the “after-update” crashing is unknown, a number of troubleshooting techniques can be adopted to fix the error. And as a first line of defence, simply close the game and restart your phone.

This should fix the error, provided the issue is caused by a minor glitch (or the likes).

If the error persists, try the next fix.

Fix 2: Clear Cache

Most times, when CoC crashes after an update, there is usually a cache problem. To fix the crashing error in this case, all you have to do is to clear the game’s cache/data.

To do this (on Android):

  • close the game and navigate to Settings > Apps (or Application Manager)
  • find and click on Clash of Clans
  • click on Storage, and select Clear cache
  • click on Clear data
  • exit ‘Settings’
  • restart phone and then relaunch CoC.

If the crashing error persists, you can try the next fix.

Fix 3: Reinstall CoC

It’s possible that a faulty/incomplete installation of the new update is the cause of the crashing error. Hence, you can try reinstalling the game.

To do this, follow the steps below:

  • Go to Settings > Apps > Clash of Clans > Uninstall.
  • Then, download the game and reinstall it on your phone (under stable internet/Wi-Fi connection).

Closing Note

Before running any of the above fixes, ensure that you’re properly signed into your Facebook or Google account. Also, make sure your phone’s time settings are properly configured.

How to Speed Up Windows PC for Gaming

Are you an avid gamer? Do you want to improve your gaming experience on PC? Follow through this tutorial.

To enjoy optimum gaming experience today, you need a powerful PC, with standard system specifications. However, irrespective of how standard your PC is, consoles are generally better.

Nevertheless, you can give your PC a facelift to obtain an almost similar experience (to consoles), particularly in the area of improved FPS rate and near-perfect graphical display.

Want to know more? Go to the next section.

How to Speed PC for Gaming

Basically, when we talk of PC gaming, graphics cards (GPU) are practically the most essential components. And irrespective of the sophistication of the tweaks/tricks applied. there is an attainable limit, depending on the build (specs) of your PC.

In any case, below are some of the tricks you can try to speed up your PC:

  1. Update Graphics Drivers

This is highly essential, as your graphics cards determine the frame-per-second (FPS) rate of your PC. And with updated graphics drivers, you get a significant FPS boost.

Graphics drivers can easily be updated from the manufacturer’s website. However, for some reasons, many computer users do not even know which graphics card(s) is on their respective PCs. To check, simply go to: Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Device Manager > Display adapters. The graphics cards would be displayed underneath.

Update NVIDIA drivers here, and AMD/ATI Radeon here.

  1. Disable Windows Superfetch and Prefetcher

These two features are primarily designed to improve performance on PCs. However, they tend to slow down the loading speed (and increase loading time) of high-end games and other apps. Hence, if you are a regular PC gamer, this features are better disabled.

Disable Superfetch:

  • Click on Start (Windows icon).
  • In the “Start” menu, select Control Panel.
  • Go to System and Security.
  • Select Administrative Tools
  • Click on Services.
  • Find and double click on Superfetch.
  • Select Disabled.
  • Click OK to apply changes.
  • Exit program.

Disable Prefetcher:

  • Open Registry Editor: click on “Windows + R” keys; type in “regedit” in the pop up dialog box and click “Enter”.
  • Go to the following registry entry:
  • ‘HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerMemory ManagementPrefetchParameters’.
  • Locate and double click on the ‘EnablePreFetcher’ entry.
  • Set its value to ‘0’ to disable it.

  1. Defragment HDD

You can run this procedure using the “Disk Defragmenter” tool: Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter. And follow the prompt commands to finish the process. This will significantly improve the loading rate of your games.

For better performance, however, you can upgrade to a Solid State Drive (SSD), which reduces the loading time of games. And to further improve performance, you can “trim” the SSD.

Other Methods

  • Free up storage space.
  • Reduce background processes/running apps.
  • Supercharge graphics cards.
  • Allocate more RAM to favorite games.
  • And more.

Pokemon Sword and Shield Release Date Update And News On Its Features

Did you miss the Nintendo Pokemon Direct live stream? We got you covered as we will present to you all the new information about the new Pokemon Sword and Shield. With a confirmed date release, November 15th, Nintendo showed us the new creatures and characters of the new upcoming Pokemon game.

Also, the game will feature a new “Wild Area”, a new battle mechanic named Dynamax, and Max Raid Battles. As we are used to, we will have new Pokemon characters. Gen 8 brings Wooloo, Gossifleur, and Drednaw. We will also have a game’s flying taxi, Corviknight that will allow us to visit towns and areas in the game.

Let’s take a look at the new features in Pokemon Sword and Shield

Coming as a big addition of Pokemon Sword and Shield, the Wild Area is a vast landscape between the main cities and you can explore it as much as you want. Here you will be in complete control of the camera and, at different times of the day and weather, you can spot different Pokemon.

With the Pokemon from the Galar region being able to grow in size and boost the power of their moves, the new battle mechanic called Dynamax will be available to use only once per battle so you’ll have to be very careful as the other trainers will have the same power. Not such a great thing is the Dynamax Pokemon returns to their original form after three turns, so you’ll have to use it wisely.

If you want to make a team with other trainers and kick some giant Dynamax Pokemon ass, you can use the new multiplayer component of Pokemon Sword and Shield, Max Raid battles. Remember that only one of the trainers will be able to Dynamax their Pokemon, so choose wisely if you won’t want to lose these max raid battles. The release date for the Nintendo Switch of the new Pokemon Sword and Shield is November 15th, this year, and we can’t wait for it to play!
