Tricks Overcoming Crash / Lag When Playing Games on PC

Game crash, lag, stop working - It must be very annoying when you are engrossed in playing your favorite game but suddenly the game crashes, lags, exits itself or crashes. Crash or lag in normal conditions will occur when the memory used RAM to play the game becomes larger so that the memory capacity is no longer enough to run the game. Instead of going back in and continuing the game, however, we will get a message crash or error, so the game is closed. If the game hasn't been saved, it's certainly more annoying. 

Well this time I will share a few tips so that when we play the game it can run normally and smoothly so there is no lag or crash that causes the game to come out on its own. Well here are some simple tips as quoted from the web forum Popular games:

To prevent crash, lag or game stopped working, make sure the PC / Laptop specifications are suitable
Each game must have different specifications or requirements for each computer or laptop that runs it. The better the game in terms of graphics and appearance the greater the memory used to run it. If your PC or laptop specifications are below the minimum, you should not play the game. But, if you think your PC's hardware is above the recommended specifications, you can set the graphics at high or epic level.

Make sure you have installed the supporting file and make sure the game files are not corrupt
There are some games that really can't play or always crash when playing. Then the crash message appears usually because the .dll file is missing or corrupt. To fix this, then it's a good idea to install supporting files for the Windows operating system so they don't crash while playing games. The files that are generally requested by the game are in the following list of programs:

• Microsoft Visual C ++ 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015
• Latest DirectX
• The latest Net Framework (Microsoft Dotnet)
• etc

All the files above are free, you can download from the Microsoft page directly, or you can also search on the Google search page. Make sure the programs match the type of Windows you are using (32 bit or 64 bit).


Turn off other applications that are not being used
Old game crashes or lags and finally the most common stopped working occur because the memory capacity used by RAm is no longer enough to run the game. Now to avoid this do not open the game with other applications or programs simultaneously. Atu open the task manager / Applications file then turn off the program you want to stop. Or open an application or other program that is running to add space to play the game, namely open the task manager / processes file and turn off other programs that are running that you don't use.

Use the memory enhancer application to play the game
Many applications that are available for free or paid are widely available on the internet that you can download to help improve computer memory so that you can play big games smoothly. For example, Game Booster, an application used to turn off other applications that are running so that it increases the availability of memory to run games. Usually besides making the game more smoothly it also runs lightly on a PC or laptop because this game booster turns off other applications that are not running so that there is free space to play games.

Make sure your VGA card driver is updated
A VGA card is a hardware device on a PC or laptop that renders or outputs processing in the form of visuals displayed on the monitor screen. VGA stands for Video Graphic Accelerator, according to its function above. VGA card is directly related to the display on the monitor screen. VGA is the most important thing in terms of gaming. For this reason, the crashes that are usually experienced are mostly caused by this VGA card. To minimize interference or crash while playing this game, then it's a good idea to make sure your VGA driver is updated to the latest version. Each type or brand of VGA has provided an auto update feature for each hardware itself, so no need to bother looking for the latest update.

Use an operating system that matches the game recommendations
As I discussed in the first point, which is about the requeirements of the operating system. Not only hardware that must be adjusted to the game's recommendations. You also have to pay attention to the desired operating system and software. But if you have installed the latest Windows operating system like Windows 10 with DirectX 12, then you need not hesitate to play these games. And, make sure also that you use Windows 64 bits. Because the latest games now do recommend a 64bit system.

How to Overcome Games that Crash or Stopped Working
Well when you have run the tips above and the game still crashes or stops itself, then use the following method. Actually there are ways to set Windows to focus PC performance on a game or application.

1. Click Start, then right-click on Computer and click Properties

2. On the left, click Advanced System Settings

3. On the Advanced tab, click Settings ...

4. Klik tab Data Execution Prevention, pilih Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select: dan klik Add...

5. Select the application or game that is in the .exe format then click Open

When it's finished, try opening the game that crashed earlier. If it still has no effect, try restarting the computer. If it is still Stopped Working it also means that the computer specifications do not meet the requirements for running the game.
