That is why we have prepared this guide to help you fix the problem. Try the solutions below, one by one until the issue is fixed.

Solution #1: Verify your game files

XCOM 2 is most likely to crash if the game files are corrupted. To fix the crashes, redownload the game files.

To do so;

Sep 11, 2017 Try browsing to the '. Documents Larian Studios' folder and deleting the 'Divinity Original Sin 2' subfolder. This folder contains the saved games, configuration files and a level cache folder. Normally I would suggest renaming the folder for troubleshooting purposes, but if you don't have any saved games that isn't an issue.

  • Run Steam
  • Click on Library Tab
  • Right-click on XCOM 2
  • Click on Local Files
  • Click Verify integrity of game files

After this, start the XCOM 2 again to see if the crashing has stopped.

  1. If Divinity Original sin 2 won’t launch or keeps crashing, try to fix the error using these options: Fix #1: Find an alternative way to full-screen mode. The actual full-screen mode can cause Divinity Original Sin to crash. If this is the case, you can play the game in a ‘fake full-screen’ or ‘borderless window’ which is the same as your desktop screen size.
  2. The system report will be located in your Desktop folder. Divinity: Original Sin EE - Crash when trying to save. The game from the Divinity Original Sin.
  3. This is D:OS 2 on PC. I love this game. I have over 100 hours into it. Ive dealt with the constant crashing, but its gotten more frequent in the past couple days and Im at a breaking point. I either get a BSOD (Ill blame this on my laptop) or the game just crashes to desktop, no send report, nothing. The BSOD is way more rare, like 1 out of 10.

Solution #2: Disable Steam Overlay

Steam overlay is a user interface that allows the user to access the web browser and in-game purchasing. This feature can also cause XCOM 2 to crash. You can disable it to fix the problem.

To disable steam overlay;

  • Run Steam
  • Right-click on XCOM 2 then click on properties
  • Click the General tab
  • Uncheck Enable Steam Overlay while in-game

Solution #3: Update your device drivers

Outdated or missing drivers may also cause XCOM 2 to crash. If that is the case, you should update your drivers to fix the issue.

To update manually;

Visit the official website of your driver’s manufacturer

  • Search the latest driver
  • Ensure it is compatible with your device
  • Click on Install

To update automatically, you will require driver updater tools such as Driver booster. The tools will check for the latest drivers compatible with your device.

Solution #4: Disable third-party antivirus software

The third-party antivirus software may use up a lot of space on your disk drive. Furthermore, the antivirus may block some features in your game. This may result to XCOM 2 crashing.

To fix, disable the antivirus program temporarily then try running your game. If this fixes the issue, you should consider replacing the antivirus software or contact customer support for advice.

Solution #4: Change your save files location

Save files can also trigger XCOM 2 to crash. This usually happens when the save file contains modded content and yet the mod is already removed from the computer. You should check that your save file path is correct.

To fix the problem, you should move your files to a different location on your disk drive for safekeeping. Delete the SaveData folder thereafter. You will also have to disable the steam cloud synchronization.

The steps are;

  • Go to your Steam Library
  • Right-click on XCOM 2
  • Select Properties
  • Click on Update
  • Uncheck the Enable Steam Cloud Checkbox

Try to launch the game again. If you successfully start up the game, quit to desktop then move your individual save files, one after the other, to their original folder. You should be restarting the game every time you move a save file to identify the one that is causing the problem.

So I am 20 hours into the game and I am getting CONSTANT crashes to desktop. Sometimes every 20-30 minutes. Sometimes every 5 minutes. 30 minutes into a fight and about to land the killing blow on the final NPC? Crash. Very last dialogue choice after a 5 minute dialogue tree with a party member? Immersion destroying game crash. It is bordering on unplayable or at the absolute least destroying any desire to play the game. Ive sent somewhere near 20 crash reports to Larian and have probably spent half my playtime researching article after article trying to resolve the issue. The crash is always during gameplay and directly to desktop with a pop up to send Larian a crash report- never a system hardlock.
My system is as follows-
Asus MG279Q 1440p freesync monitor
Windows 10
Intel 4790k CPU, Corsair H110 AIO cooler
Power Color Red Devil Radeon 5700XT gpu
16GB of Corsair RAM
EVGA 1000W PSU
EVGA Z87 Classified motherboard.
I've already been through the sticky in this sub forum and tried most if not all of the suggestions. This includes updating drivers, disabling Steam cloud saves, launching from the executable in the game's directory, verifying the files using Steam, turning on and off frame cap limits at 90fps since thats the maximum hz of the monitor, reinstalling Direct X and uninstalling and reinstalling Microsoft C++. I do have whatever Radeon software comes packaged with the drivers but I am not overclocking the card at all. To my knowledge Powercolor doesnt even have their own software suite for that like MSI/EVGA do.
What makes this exponentially more frustrating is I can't see whatever information is in the crash report before it is sent. I don't know where it goes. It might as well be a pop up box that says 'Lol your game just crashed!' for all the effectiveness it does for me to try and research the issue additionally on my own. So if it is forum etiquette for me to post crash dump files, I gladly will if I'm told how to access and share them. Trying to look for crash reasons with Event Viewer like the FAQ suggests does not list any errors specifically naming DOS2. Please help. I'm at my wits end here and would rather not just uninstall.
