Did you do Win7? Admin and Win7

Wonder what the common issue is? I have no issues at all. Game runs great. It is fun. It doesn't make a lot of sense having to run in Admin. Are you either on Win11 or have a solid firewall/AV in place?

You guys need to figure out your PC's. Try googling the issue, not in here. Just saying, usually it comes down to gamers' and their low attention spans to troubleshoot their own PC's and systems.

Has always worked fine on mine.

The game runs great, didn't say otherwise, but i couldn't get past that menu on Win10, and Admin and compatibility win7 did the trick but i have no idea why

That is weird. Glad it is working

Still having the same issues. Tried running in compatability mode, windows 7, windows 8 run as admin, verify integrity. Nothing has worked. Looking to see if anyone has had any success

Is your CPU or GPU overclocked?

Deadzone: Rogue - Potential Crash Fixes/Workarounds
Updated: 2/11/2025

DLSS Crash
If you experience a crash on startup (usually after the startup movie/loading screen), DLSS may be the issue. Disable DLSS using this launch parameter:
-ngxdisableota
This issue is awaiting a fix from NVIDIA.

Intel 13th & 14th Gen CPU Crash
Users with Intel 13th or 14th Gen CPUs (e.g., Intel i9-14900KF) may experience instability issues. Check this for details:
🔗 Oodle Intel Issue
https://www.radgametools.com/oodleintel.htm

Fix:
Update your BIOS to the latest version. Here’s how:
🔗 How to Update BIOS
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/gaming/resources/how-to-update-bios.html

Check with your motherboard manufacturer for specific steps.
Avoid power loss while updating BIOS.
Note: If permanent damage has already occurred from this issue, updating may not fix it.
After updating, ensure all drivers are up to date.

Rivatuner Statistics Server (RTSS) / MSI Afterburner
Users with RTSS installed may encounter crashes. Uninstall RTSS as it does not work well with Unreal Engine.

Raytracing Crash
If the game crashes while in a run, try disabling raytracing in the settings.

Drivers
Always make sure GPU drivers are up to date!

General Hardware
Ensure your hardware meets the minimum requirements listed on Steam/Epic.
Older integrated graphics (unsupported by Intel/AMD) may have issues running the game.

Co-op runs peer to peer through EOS (epic online services), so if you're experiencing any lag try switching who's the host with your friends, and adjusting your own game settings if that doesn't help

Forget all that nonsense. If I am using a reasonably modern game and have all my drivers updated and the game doesn't work I am not jumping through hoops to play it. Devs just need to figure their ♥♥♥♥ out.

That isn't how it works, bud. The devs hav no idea what you have installed on your PC or what you have wrong with your PC. You can either do your due diligence or just move on.

ive tried all the above steps and i cant get it to launch either. I have no problems with many other games that game out this year such as avowed, i dont see why i would have issues with this game. the kool aid drinkers in here are real
