How to Fix Minecraft Crashing

fix minecraft crashing

Do you experience frequent crashes while playing Minecraft? Here’s a quick fix.

The popular online game – Minecraft – has millions of players across the globe, most of whom enjoy the excitement the game offers, both in the single-player and multiplayer modes. However, one notable downside of this game is the numerous complaints about the issue of ‘game crashing’. In fact, it’s been reported, by some players, that the game crashes at startup.

If you are experiencing this, follow through this tutorial to fix the error.

How to Fix Minecraft Crashing

Fix 1: Reboot PC

If you encounter frequent game crashes on Minecraft, force-closing the game is not applicable. Hence, as a first line of defence, you can restart your computer to clear off temporary files and fix minor glitches or bugs.

To do this:

  • close Minecraft
  • restart computer or power it off and on.
  • relaunch game.

If the game still crashes, you can try the next fix.

Fix 2: Reset CPU Speed to Default

Adjusting CPU to run faster than the standard speed could have a ripple effect on the smooth running of some apps/processes on your system. And Minecraft could be a victim here.

Hence, if you have, at one point or another, reconfigured your CPU speed rating, simply set it back to default and see if it fixes the game crashing error.

Fix 3: Update Security Patches

All apps, especially those still under development, have bugs, and this is the idea behind the continuous release of updates and patches to fix identified bugs. So, if Minecraft crashes frequently on your PC, a bug(s) in the game could be the culprit.

To install the latest patches, go to Minecraft’s official website.

Fix 4: Reinstall Minecraft

If, after updating patches, Minecraft still crashes, you can reinstall the program and see if it fixes the error. Simply remove the game from your computer and go to the designated site to reinstall it.

Minecraft still crashes? try the next fix.

Fix 5: Update Graphics Drivers

If your PC’s graphics drivers are out-of-date or if a driver is missing, you are bound to encounter crashes such as this.

To update graphics drivers, navigate to the website of your graphics card manufacturer and install the latest drivers. For NVIDIA, go here.

This should fix the crashing error.

Death Stranding Twitch Live Stream Revealed More Details

Death Stranding is one of the most anticipated upcoming video games of the year, being produced by Kojima Productions and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for PS4. The game was first announced at 2016’s E3.

PlayStation hosted a Twitch live stream entitled “DEATH STRANDING: Tomorrow Is In Your Hands.” If you entered the live stream, all you could see was footage covered in the trademark hand prints that hid the gameplay reveal which was being played on a loop. The more viewers joined the stream, the number of handprints would rise, hopefully uncovering the details about the game.

Besides the weird hand prints, there was also creepy audio that went with it. Games Radar discovered a female voice saying “It’s what we need right now; not to stand apart but to come together”. Many believe this is a major clue on the gameplay.

Death Stranding Twitch Live Stream Revealed More Details

Before the start of the live stream, Hideo Kojima posted a few teasers on his Twitter account, along with several images accompanied by the description “Tomorrow is in your hands.”

Death Stranding will not be fully revealed at this year’s E3, but fans are still extremely excited to find out more details about it at the event. Yesterday, the release date of Death Stranding was leaked on a Twitter post, revealing it will be released later this year, on November 8th, 2019.

Even though the PlayStation account was quick to remove the post, many people had already seen it. However, it was later confirmed during the final minutes of the livestream that it will indeed launch on November 8th on PS4. Right now, the game is available for preorder in the PlayStation Store.

We most certainly will get more details on Death Stranding during the next State of Play, which could happen as soon as this week.

Special Pokemon Sword and Shield Nintendo Direct Will Come Next Week

Trainers from all over the world, prepare yourself because new information about the next Pokemon game for Nintendo Switch is coming. Next week, Wednesday, June 5th, 2019, at 2 PM BST/9 AM EDT/6 AM PDT, Pokemon Sword and Shield will come at a special Nintendo Direct edition.

Until now, only a dedicated Direct live stream for the games was on the page, but now we will have 15 minutes of new information on Pokemon Sword and Shield for Switch.

A Pokemon Nintendo Direct presentation will be live next week. If until now we had only the revealing from the first trailer, the confirmations of the names, settings, and the introduction of starter Gen 8 Pokemon (Grookey, Sobble, and Scorbunny) imagine what we will see now.

Special Pokemon Sword and Shield Nintendo Direct Will Come Next Week

A Pokemon Press Conference was held yesterday at 6 PM PDT or 2 AM BST and 9 PM EDT. Even if the Nintendo Direct is next week, we think that the conference was not related to Pokemon Sword and Shield. And the luck was on our side yesterday, and we received information on four new Pokemon projects, including Pokemon Masters, a new game in the franchise.

Until the biggest gaming convention E3 2019, that is two weeks apart, Pokemon fans will have their own piece of cake from the special Nintendo Direct broadcasting, and it’s all dedicated to Pokemon Sword and Shield. Don’t forget, Nintendo Direct will be on Nintendo’s YouTube and Twitch channels, on June 5th, from 2 PM BST, 6 AM PT and 9 AM Et, and it will run for 15 minutes.

Pokemon Sword and Shield will be the next significant release in the popular Pokemon franchise, and it’s expected for Nintendo Switch later this year. On the other hand, at the Pokemon conference held yesterday, we learned about Pokemon Masters, also an upcoming game in the series.

The Last of Us 2 Release Date Announcement Might Come Soon

The Last of Us remains one of the most popular PlayStation exclusives, and many fans are looking forward to the release of The Last of Us 2. The internet rumor machine is always hard at work, and a popular rumor started to spread a few weeks ago, claiming that more details about the game would be shared during the upcoming Days of Play event, which is scheduled to begin before E3 2019.

As the event is approaching a new rumor has surfaced, offering more details about the supposed released date of the title. According to reliable sources the new rumor claims that the game will be released during Q3 2019. As expected, it was embraced with enthusiasm by many fans who wish to learn more about the fate of Ellie.

The Last of Us 2 Release Date Announcement Might Come Soon

It is also inferred that the official The Last of Us 2 release date will be announced with the help of a trailer which could be released by the end of this week. The rumor was popularized by two gaming websites which claim that sources who are close to Sony offered the information.

It is essential to keep in mind the fact that any rumor should be taken with a grain of salt. Many gaming websites shared exciting news in the past, but in some cases, they failed to materialize. However, in this case, the rumor is reinforced by another one, which suggests that Sony plans to release a trailer for a new first-party game in the following week, and it is likely that The Last of Us 2 is the game in question.

This scenario appears to be quite possible, but we should take into account the fact that Sony may tease a different game, and even if the trailer does showcase this title, there is no guarantee that the game will be released in the autumn. The Last of Us 2 is currently in development for the PlayStation 4.
