How to fix Remnant 2 crashes on PC

If you’re like me, even with the latest drivers installed and with a PC in tow that’s far beyond the recommended requirements: you might encounter crashes in Remnant 2 on PC. Don’t worry, we’re here to help!

Turn down your graphical settings and turn on windowed mode to start

When playing Remnant 2, after roughly 15-30 minutes of gameplay, my entire PC crashed across multiple sessions. This is far beyond the typical “game crash,” as it hard-locked my PC and forced me to physically restart it. As a result, I swapped my graphical settings around and found it to be a bit more stable.

I specifically altered the following:

• Lowered resolution (anything below 3840 x 2160)
• Windowed mode
• Low overall graphical settings

This combination of all three assisted in making the game crash less. But there’s more work to be done (until the development team takes a crack at it on their side), and lowering any visual optimization setting is never ideal in a situation like this: unless you’re OK with compromising temporarily to play the game.

You can try Power Lasso to limit the number of cores the game uses

Reddit user Agayek has a more involved solution that uses the application Process Lasso. What this essentially does is limit the amount of cores Remnant 2 accesses, helping cut down or entirely eliminate crashes.

Here’s the full walkthrough straight from Agayek:

1. Find Remnant2.exe and Remnant2-Win64-Shipping.exe in the list of all processes (you may be able to get away with setting only one of these, haven’t tried, but it’s the same steps for both)
2. Right click on the process -> CPU Affinity
3. Select “Always”
4. At the top of this menu, hit “Select CPU Affinity”
5. In this new poppup, you should see a bunch of checkboxes with “CPU #” after it
6. Uncheck every CPU that ends with an E (e.g. CPU 19E) and hit OK

As always, you can try to uninstall the game and go with a fresh install.
