In this article, we have a couple of fixes for the WWE 2K24 Launch and Crashing issues. Even though the issues are temporary, and the developers will fix them sooner or later, taking note of the suggestions will help you eradicate them if you face them again.
Try these Fixes if WWE 2K24 won’t Launch or is Crashing at Startup
WWE 2K24 won’t launch for many Steam Users, and the game stops responding as soon as you press the Play button. Even if you manage to get into the game, it crashes after a few seconds before making it to the main menu. If you are a victim of such issues, we have some suggestions.
Update your GPU Drivers
You must update your GPU Drivers irrespective of the GPU you have. Updating GPU Drivers fixes a lot of performance and crashing issues for WWE and every other game.
- Download the latest Nvidia Drivers Here
- Download the latest AMD Drivers here
- Download the latest Intel drivers here
Double Check System Requirements
Make sure your PC meets the minimum system requirements that are needed to run WWE 2K24.
Get Windows Updated
Always keep your Windows Updated. You should install the latest version of Windows on your PC to ensure the issues are not from the Operating System’s end. To update Windows, all you need to do is
- Go to Windows Search Bar
- Type Windows Update
- Open the Windows Update Settings option and click on Check for Updates
- Install any pending updates you would find
Use your Discrete GPU and not the Integrated one (for Gaming Laptops)
Always use the discrete GPU, not the integrated one, if you are on a Gaming Laptop. All modern Gaming laptops come with a MUX Switch, and if your Laptop doesn’t have one, then you can manually do it by
- Open Nvidia Control Panel
- Click on Manage 3D Settings
- Select Global Settings
- Under Settings, you will find the option “Preferred Graphics Processor” and then select “High-Performance Nvidia Processor.”
Run Game as an Admin
You can also try running the Game as an Admin. All you need to do is go to the Installation Folder WWE 2K24 > Find the .exe file > Right click on it > Compatibility > Check the box “Run this Program as an Administrator.” To find the exe file, all you need to do is go to Steam Library and find WWE 2K24. You will find the Settings button on the Right. Click on it, hover your cursor on Manage, and click on Browse Local Files.
Disable overlays and Verify Game Files
Disable any overlays that you have running on your background. That includes GeForce Experience, AMD Adrenalin, Discord, etc. I only use my MSI Afterburner when testing out games and altogether turn it off when playing casually or online.
Close Wemod or Cheat Engine Software
No, we are not judging you. But if you have Wemod or Cheat Engine Software installed and running on your background, you might face issues running Steam/Epic/EA games as their anti-cheat programs are designed to detect these applications.
Reinstall the Game
If nothing works, then you can try reinstalling the game. If you are still facing issues, it’s better to send a ticket directly to the developers.
So that was all about fixing the WWE 2K24 won’t Launch or Crashing at Startup issues. If you have any more suggestions, feel free to comment, and we will add them to our list of fixes.
