System requirements

Fix 1: Close background programs

1. Right-click your taskbar, then clickTask Manager .
   
2. Under theProcesses tab, look for the processes that are CPU, memory, and network-hogging. Take Chrome here, for example, right-click it then clickEnd task .
   

If this doesn’t solve your problem, try the next fix.

Fix 2: Update your graphics driver

A faulty or outdated graphic driver is one of the most common reasons for Naraka: Bladepoint keeps crashing on PC. You may want to make sure yours is up-to-date and functioning properly.

There are two ways to keep your graphics card driver up-to-date. One is to manually update it via Device Manager. If Device Manager fails to detect an available update, you can also search on the manufacturer’s website. Be sure to choose only the driver that is compatible with your Windows version.

Automatic driver update – If you don’t have the time, patience, or computer skills to update your driver manually, you can, instead, do it automatically with Driver Easy . Driver Easy will automatically recognize your system and find the correct driver for your exact graphics card and your Windows version, then it will download and install it correctly:

1. Download and install Driver Easy.
2. Run Driver Easy and click the Scan Now button. Driver Easy will then scan your computer and detect any problem drivers.
3. Click the Update button next to the flagged graphics card driver to automatically download the correct version of the driver, then you can manually install it (you can do this with the FREE version).

Or click Update All to automatically download and install the correct version of all the drivers that are missing or out of date on your system. (This requires the Pro version which comes with full support and a 30-day money-back guarantee. You’ll be prompted to upgrade when you click Update All.)

The Pro version of Driver Easy comes with full technical support.
If you need assistance, please contact Driver Easy’s support team at [email protected] .

Restart your PC for the new driver to take effect. If your game still crashes after you updated the graphics driver, try the next fix.

Fix 5: Increase the virtual memory on your PC

The developer suggests that insufficient virtual memory could interfere with the game’s performance, and lead to the crashing issue. You can check your virtual memory (paging file size) first, then configure the settings if needed.

To check your virtual memory :

1. Press theWindows logo key andR on your keyboard to invoke the Run box.
2. Pastesysdm.cpl in the box, then click OK.
   
3. Go to theAdvanced tab, under the Performance section, clickSettings .

4. Again switch to theAdvanced tab, under the Virtual memory section, clickChange .

5. Now you’ll see the paging file size on your PC.

To manually allocate paging file size :

If you want to increase your virtual memory to fix the crashing issue, or for a better gaming experience, follow the steps below:

1. UNCHECK the box ofAutomatically manage paging file size for all drives , then selectCustom size .
   
2. Use the below formulas to calculate the values you should set:

1GB = 1024 MB
Initial size (MB) = 1.5 * the amount of RAM (GB) on your PC
Maximum size (MB) = 3 * the amount of RAM (GB) on your PC
3. If you don’t know how much RAM you have, press theWindows key andR to invoke the Run box. Then type inmsinfo32 and clickOK . You’ll find the information in the pop-up window.

4. Calculate and fill in theInitial size and Maximum size , clickSet then clickOK . For example, I have 8 GB RAM, so my initial size would be 8*1024*1.5=12,288 MB, and my maximum size would be 8*1024*3=24576 MB

5. Restart your PC to let the changes take effect.

If your game still crashes, try the next fix.

Fix 6: Keep your system up-to-date

If your system isn’t updated regularly, there could be compatibility issues which cause the game to crash. Make sure that you always install the available updates. Here’s how:

1. In the search bar next to your Start button, typeupdate , then click Check for updates .
   (If you don’t see the search bar, click the Start button and you’ll find it in the pop-up menu.)
   
2. Windows will scan for any available updates. If there are_no_ available updates, you’ll get aYou’re up to date sign. You could also clickView all optional updates and install them if needed.
   
3. If there are available updates, Windows will automatically download them for you. Follow instructions to complete the installation if needed.
   
4. Restart your PC to let it take effect.

If this doesn’t solve your problem, try the last fix.

Fix 7: Perform a clean boot

A clean boot will start your PC with the minimum sets of drivers and services that Windows requires to run.

By doing a clean boot, you can identify if any background program was interfering with Naraka: Bladepoint and causing the crashing issue.

Here’s how to perform a clean boot:

1. In the search bar next to the Start button, typemsconfig then clickSystem Configuration .
   
2. Under theServices tab, checkHide all Microsoft services , then clickDisable all andOK .
   
3. Switch to theStartup tab, clickOpen Task Manager .

Click here

(Windows 7 users: right-click anywhere empty on your taskbar to find the option of task manager.)

4. UnderStartup tab, click each startup item then clickDisable until you’ve disabled all startup items.

5. Restart your PC.

If Naraka: Bladepoint doesn’t crash anymore, this means at least one of the programs you disabled was causing the problem.

Here’s how to find out which one(s):

1. In the search bar next to the Start button, typemsconfig then clickSystem Configuration .
   
2. Under theServices tab, tick theHide all Microsoft services checkbox**,** then tick the checkboxes in front ofthe first five items in the list.
   Then clickApply andOK .
   
3. Reboot your computer and launch the game. If it once again won’t crash, then you know that one of the services you ticked above is conflicting with it. If it_does_ crash, then the above five services are fine, and you’ll have to keep looking for the offending service.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 above until you find the service that conflicts with Naraka: Bladepoint.

NOTE: We recommend testing five items in a group since it’s more efficient, but you’re welcome to do it at your own pace.

If you don’t find any problematic services, you’ll need to test the startup items.Here’s how:

1. Right-click anywhere empty on your taskbar and clickTask Manager .
   
2. Switch to theStartup tab, andenable the first five startup items .
   
3. Reboot and try launching Naraka: Bladepoint to see if it still crashes.
4. Repeat until you find the startup item that’s conflicting with the game.
5. Disable the problem program and reboot your PC.
