How to fix crashing and launch issues in Oddworld Soulstorm PC
Oddworld Soulstorm is the third installment in the series and is a sequel to 2014’s Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty. Apart from the graphics, not much has changed. Just like the previous Oddworld titles, Oddworld Soulstorm is a 2.5D side-scrolling platform game. Abe, the main protagonist, is back and this time his goal is to save his fellow mudokons from slave labor.
So what is new in this title? Well, the game features a new crafting system which allows Abe to craft and customize different weapons. Despite being mostly linear, Oddworld Souldstorm features a massive train hub area where players can access new levels and areas.
Enough introduction about the game, let’s talk about the issues that it has. A lot of players who have bought Oddworld Storm on PC via Epic Games Store, are facing a handful of errors. The game is crashing for some and for some it won’t even launch or start.
I understand that crashes and startup/launch errors could be caused by completely random factors. Still, there are some basic steps you can try to fix the issues.
Oddworld Soulstorm Crashing fix
TIP #1
Update your drivers and operating system to resolve any compatibility issues. This should be an obvious step by now. The newer the drivers are, the better will be their compatibility.
TIP #2
There is a chance that the random crashes in Oddworld Soulstorm are being caused by an overclocking application or utility running in the background. A lot of games have been suffering from crashes lately due to applications like MSI Afterburner. So it is best to stay on the safe side and run your graphics card on default speeds.
TIP #3
If you are getting errors like “vcruntime140_1.dll missing” or “MSVCP140.dll was not found”. The go ahead and install the latest version of Visual C++ redistributable, as there’s a chance it hasn’t been installed correctly.
Oddworld Soulstorm won’t launch fix
TIP #1
The launching/starting failure could be due to some corrupted files in the directory. You can fix that by simply repairing the game via Epic Games Launcher. Go to your Library in EGL and take your mouse pointer on Oddworld Soulstorm. Click on the Settings icon (…) beside the Launch icon and select the ‘Verify’ option. Wait until the process is completed. Finish by restarting the launcher.
TIP #2
Add the .exe file of Oddworld Soulstorm on the Exceptions list of your AV Software. Or you can disable your Anti-virus software temporarily.
TIP #3
Just head over to the installation folder of Oddworld Soulstorm > Right-Click on the .exe file > Go to Compatibility tab > Check “Run this program as an administrator”. And that is all you need to do.
Finally, if none of the methods mentioned above work. Then you have no other choice but to re-install the game. But this time choose a different location.
These are all the fixes we have at the moment for people for whom Dyson Sphere Program is crashing or won’t launch.
That’s all folks!
