Try updating your Graphics Card Driver

The graphics adapter is an extremely important component for the proper functioning of a game. If there is any issue with the driver software, your game will be affected as well. You must also make sure that your driver is up to date. If you have to update it, begin by uninstalling the present version of the driver you have. You can do that by following the steps given below:

• Bring up the Search window by pressing the Windows key + S.
• Type in device manager in the text field, and then click on the Device Manager in the list of results.

• In the confirmation window, tick the box that makes the tool remove the driver software and then click the “Uninstall” button.
• Wait for the removal to be executed. Proceed to reboot your computer after that.

Apart from this method, you can also use software like the AMD Cleanup tool and the Display Driver Uninstaller to remove your graphics card. Anyway, after you have successfully done that, you can install the latest version of the driver via the steps given below:

By using Windows Update

This method has the added advantage of installing the precisely correct and compatible driver for your computer. You can do this by following the steps given below:

• Press the Windows key + I to bring up the Settings window.

Check if your Antivirus software is blocking Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem

Some games like Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem consume a heavy amount of resources, and this can make them appear like potential threats to antivirus software. This can lead to the latter, blocking them, thus leading to issues like crashings. Instead of disabling the antivirus software and leaving your system vulnerable, we recommend adding the installation folder of Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem as an exception in the software (the SafeList or Whitelist in some cases).

In the case of the inbuilt Windows Security app, you can follow the steps given below:

• Bring up the Settings window by pressing the Windows key + I.
• At the bottom of the screen, select Update and Security.
• Select “Windows Security” on the left side of the window.
• You should see a number of options under “Protection Areas.” Select “Virus and Threat Protection” in there.
• Go down to “Virus and Threat Protection Settings” and click on “Manage Settings.”
• Move down to the Exclusions area and select “Add or remove exclusions.”
• Select “Add an exclusion” and select Folder in the menu that comes up.
• In the “Select Folder” window, go to the installation folder of Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem and press the Select Folder button.
• Now that the game has been added as an exclusion launch it and see if the issue has been resolved.

Try to run the game on your dedicated graphics card

This issue can also be faced if you are using more than one graphics card. In that case, your system is probably forcing Wolcen to run on the integrated video adapter, usually in order to conserve power. You can rectify this by pinning Wolcen to the dedicated graphics adapter. For that, you simply need to follow the steps given below.

If you are an AMD user –

• Press the Windows key + S and type in AMD in the search bar. Click on AMD Radeon in the list of results.
• Click on “System” on the top right of the window.
