The Invincible, based on a hard-core science fiction novel by the same name, is around a character named Yasna, who went to outer space to find her crew. While she is at it, there is an anonymous threat that stops her from proceeding onward. Developed by Starward Industries, the game is a work of art and has various endings to enjoy, based on the pathway you choose.
While the game is fairly optimized, some players had an issue with The Invincible Crashing On Startup and Loading Screen. Let’s get to the details of this issue and help you fix it as well.
Why is the Game Crashing on Starting or while Loading?
Most of the time, the game crashes on the startup, or even the main menu, due to the game files, that clash with either the beta files or the demo files.
The Invincible was released as a demo before, and due to them clashing with your official game files, it results in the game crashing.
Besides this, the most genuine cause behind such issues is your Pcore and Ecore values. Changing them isn’t as hard as it might sound, thus, making it effortless to fix the issue.
On the other side, it could be because of the Display Scaling, as the game crashing is caused by the display mode you are using in the game.
Finally, the Drivers and Game Settings are also the cause of Game Crashing. Now that we know the reason behind it, let’s talk about the troubleshooting steps to fix them as well.
How to Fix The Invincible Crashing On Startup, Loading Screen?
Following are the methods to fix The Invincible Crashing on Startup and Loading Screen.
Clean Installation of Game
As we already mentioned the game started crashing on startup for most people because of the files clash. You can head over to Steam Library, right-click, and uninstall the game.
Then, you can also delete the files from the Control Panel of Windows. Make sure everything is deleted from the system related to The Invincible. Then, you can head over to Steam again, proceed to the Store, and search for the game.
Click on Install, and let the Steam download the files. When the installation is done, you can simply play the game, fixing the issue of The Invincible Crashing.
Change Pcore and Ecore Value
Head over to the system bios and from there change your Pcore and Ecore values, downgrading them to some extent, but not that much. For example; shift the P1 from 58 to 57, and reduce all other Pcores one digit down.
Not only that, you will also have to Sync to all cores on the Ecores of your system, like from 44 to 43. Restart your system, restart the game and you can fix The Invincible Crashing on the Loading Screen.
Change Scaling on Windows
On the Windows home screen, press the Windows Key, and search for Display Settings. Type in Display and press enter to get to the options.
From there, you can change the size of the text and apps, and after clicking on the drop-down option, you can also change the Scaling on Windows. Take it down a bit and the game will start without any crash.
