1. Open Steam and go to your game Library.
2. Right-clickLife is Strange: True Colors and clickProperties .
3. Select theLocal Files tab. Then clickVerify integrity of game files .
   

Wait a few minutes until the process completes. If the game still fails to run properly, try the next solution below.

Fix 3 – Update your graphics driver

The Life is Strange True Colors crashes can be caused by a driver issue. If you’re using a faulty or outdated graphics driver, you may run into graphics glitches or performance problems in games like crashing, black screen or more. To get rid of choppy gameplay, you should keep your graphics driver updated.

If you’re kind of tech-savvy, you could go directly to the website of your GPU manufacturer (NVIDIA orAMD ), and download the most recent driver for your GPU model. If you don’t have the time, patience or computer skills to update your graphics driver manually, you can do it automatically with Driver Easy .

Driver Easy will automatically recognize your system and find the correct drivers for it. You don’t need to know exactly what system your computer is running, you don’t need to risk downloading and installing the wrong driver, and you don’t need to worry about making a mistake when installing.

1. Download and install Driver Easy.
2. Run Driver Easy and click theScan Now button. Driver Easy will then scan your computer and detect any problem drivers.
3. ClickUpdate All to automatically download and install the correct version of all the drivers that are missing or out of date on your system (this requires the Pro version – you’ll be prompted to upgrade when you clickUpdate All ). Or simply clickUpdate to do it for free, but you need to download them one at a time and install the driver manually.
   

After the update finishes, reboot your computer to fully employ the changes. Your game should be working much better with an up-to-date driver. If the crashes reoccur, there are two more fixes you can try.

Fix 4 – Switch to DirectX 11

Players are able to launch Life is Strange True Colors in either DirectX11 or 12. While playing with DX12 allows you to enjoy the ray-tracing feature, DirectX 11 could be a more stable version and is less likely to cause game crashes. To opt into DX11, take these steps:

1. Run Steam and selectLibrary from the homepage.
2. Right-clickLife is Strange: True Colors and clickProperties .
3. Under Launch Options, type-dx11 in the field and then close the window.
4. Launch the game, tickPlay Life is Strange: True Colors and clickPlay .
   

See how the game functions. If switching to DirectX 11 doesn’t stop the game crashing, continue to the last method.

Fix 5 – Adjust the graphics settings

Higher graphics settings usually indicate a better visual experience, but it can be resource-intensive and make your game unstable or even crash. If you don’t have strong hardware capabilities, it’s best to turn down the in-game graphics instead of running it at the maximum settings.

1. Launch Life is Strange True Colors and navigate toSettings >Video .
2. Tweak your settings as below:
   Display Mode:Windowed orBorderless
   Graphics Quality:Low orMedium
3. ClickEdit next to Advanced Video.
4. You could just set each option toLow orMedium and clickApply to save the changes.
   

Restart the game to test if the new settings have a significant impact on the game performance.
