    Once you’ve confirmed your rig meets the requirements, move on to more fixes advanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Fix 1 – Stop overclocking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    You may expect that overclocking your CPU and GPU can give a boost in the game performance, but it sometimes comes at the cost of system stability. To fix Days Gone crashing, try turning off overclocking utilities<\/strong> like MSI Afterburner and setting the clock speed back to the default<\/strong>, and then see how things go. If the problem persists, take a look at the next fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Fix 2 – Update your graphics driver<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Graphics driver is important to your gaming experience with Days Gone. If the graphics driver is wrong, faulty or outdated, you may get constant crashes during the gameplay. So, make sure your graphics driver is up to date. If not, definitely update it right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can search for the latest graphics driver from your graphics card\u2019s manufacturer AMD<\/a><\/strong> or NVIDIA<\/a><\/strong>, and then manually install it. But if you don\u2019t have the time, patience or skills to update the driver manually, you can do it automatically with Driver Easy<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Driver Easy will automatically recognize your system and find the correct drivers for it. You don\u2019t need to know exactly what system your computer is running, you don\u2019t need to be troubled by the wrong driver you would be downloading, and you don\u2019t need to worry about making a mistake when installing. It takes just 2 steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Download<\/a><\/strong> and install Driver Easy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Run Driver Easy and click the Scan Now<\/strong> button. Driver Easy will then scan your computer and detect any problem drivers.
      \"\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Click Activate & Update<\/strong>\u00a0button next to the flagged device to automatically download and install the correct version of this driver. Or click\u00a0Update All<\/strong>\u00a0to automatically download and install the correct version of all the drivers that are missing or out of date on your system.
      \"\"<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      You\u2019ll need the\u00a0Pro version<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0for the update. You\u2019ll get a prompt to upgrade. If you\u2019re not prepared to purchase the Pro version yet, Driver Easy provides a 7-day trial at no cost, granting access to all Pro features like fast downloads and easy installation. No charges will occur until after your 7-day trial period ends.<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n

      Test the game to see if the driver update does the trick. If not, there are two more fixes you can try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Fix 3 – Verify integrity of game files<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      If certain game files are missing or damaged, the game will fail to run smoothly and crashes can occur. To see if that’s the cause, you could do an integrity check with your game launcher: Steam<\/a><\/strong> or Epic Games Store<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      If you’re playing on Steam<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Launch Steam and navigate to the Library<\/strong> tab.
        \"\"<\/figure><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Right-click Days Gone<\/strong> from the list and select Properties<\/strong>.
        \"\"<\/figure><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Select the Local Files<\/strong> tab and click Verify integrity of game files<\/strong>.
        \"\"<\/figure><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Wait for the process to complete and check if you can play the game as expected. If not, proceed to Fix 4<\/a><\/strong> below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        If you’re playing on Epic Games Store<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Open the Epic Games Launcher and select the Library<\/strong> tab.
          \"\"<\/figure><\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Click the Days Gone tile<\/strong> and click the icons with three dots<\/strong> next to it. Then, click\u00a0Verify<\/strong>.
          \"\"<\/figure><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          After the repair finished, restart the game test the issue. If the crash reoccurs, continue to the next solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Fix 4 – Turn off overlays<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          The overlay can also be a possible cause of Days Gone crash. So if you’re using any apps such as Steam<\/strong><\/a> or GeForce Experience<\/a><\/strong> with an in-game overlay feature, disable them all to see how the game works. Here are the steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          On Steam<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Start the Steam client and go to the Library<\/strong> tab.
            \"\"<\/figure><\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Right-click Days Gone<\/strong> and click Properties<\/strong>.
            \"\"<\/figure><\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. On the General<\/strong> tab, untick Enable Steam overlay while in-game<\/strong>.
            \"\"<\/figure><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            On GeForce Experience<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            1. Run GeForce Experience.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. Click the\u00a0cogwheel icon<\/strong>\u00a0at the upper right corner.
              \"\"<\/figure><\/li>\n\n\n\n
            3. Toggle off\u00a0In-game overlay<\/strong>.
              \"\"<\/figure><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              Relaunch the game again and you should be able to enjoy it without interruptions now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
