1. Use Recommended BlueStacks Settings

First of all, you should cross-check whether you’re using the recommended BlueStacks settings or not. It’s better to use the suggested configuration for a smoother experience. You’ll have to set ‘CPU allocation’ to ‘High (4 Cores)’ and set ‘Memory allocation’ to ‘High (4 GB)’. To do so:

• Under the ‘Performance’ tab, apply the following settings:
  • Set ‘CPU allocation’ to ‘High (4 Cores)’
  • Set ‘Memory allocation’ to ‘High (4 GB)’
• Click on ‘Save changes’ to apply these settings.
• You will then be asked to restart BlueStacks for these changes to take effect.
• Click on ‘Restart now’ > Launch Blue Archive after BlueStacks 5 restarts.

2. Update BlueStacks

At the time of writing this article, BlueStacks 5 is the latest version that everyone should use on their PCs. So, you will have to update the BlueStacks version to 5 or later. Just head over to the official BlueStacks website and grab the latest version.

3. Update Windows

Well, an outdated Windows OS version or build can eventually trigger multiple issues whatsoever. It’s recommended to install the latest version always to avoid crashes, bugs, stability issues, etc. To do that:

• Press Windows + I keys to open up the Windows Settings menu.
• Next, click on Update & Security > Select Check for updates under the Windows Update section.
• If there is a feature update available, select Download and install.

5. Try Dropping Allocated CPU Cores

If in case, you’re having issues with the game launching or crashing then make sure to drop the CPU cores allocation from 4 to 2. It also can be useful if your PC hardware is old enough or the configuration is on the low-end. If you’re using a powerful gaming rig then you should keep the CPU cores allocation to 4 which is recommended one.

6. Disable VPN or Proxy Servers

Try turning off the VPN or Proxy Servers manually on the PC to avoid the game launching or not working issues with BlueStacks. After disabling the VPN server or Proxy server, you can try running Blue Archive on BlueStacks to check whether it’s still bothering you or not.

7. Delete Other Multi-Instances

You should try deleting other multi-instances on BlueStacks and make sure to download the Nougat 64-bit in the multi-instance manager. Once done, you can smoothly launch and play Blue Archive on the PC via BlueStacks without any issues.
