Make sure you have Whitelisted KOA Re-Reckoning on your AV Software
For some reason every Anti-virus software are flagging the .exe file as a virus and deleting it. If you are using a third-party Anti-Virus software then chances are the crashes are being caused by it. Anti-Virus softwares today are extremely heavy and false positives are quite common from them.
Try running Kingdoms of Amalur Re-Reckoning once after disabling your Anti-Virus software temporarily.
If you are using Windows Defender instead of a third-party AV software then here is how to add Spellbreak on the exceptions list of Windows Defender:
- Go to Windows 10 settings
- Click on Update & Security
- Select Windows Security from the left sidebar
- Click on Virus & threat protection
- Under Virus & threat protection click on Manage settings
- Under Exclusions click on Add or remove exclusions
- Click on Add an exclusion
- Select File
- Select the .exe or executable file which in this case should be koa.exe
- Restart your PC
