Fix: Startup Crash + Random crashes | Cyberpunk 2077

what's up my name is tech number here for troubleshoot and in this video i'll be going through a super simple fix for a really common crash with cyberbunk 2077. if the game starts up and then crashes out immediately or you're having random crashes it could be caused by something very simple which is an issue in a lot of games it's just that here this is especially an issue so if you're running the game on steam and not the gog launcher then this fix isn't going to completely apply to you unless you have the cog launcher installed as well in that case simply open it up click the settings in the top left then click settings once again inside of here click game features and then make sure to uncheck the overlay down here this disables the gog galaxy overlay which seems to be causing a lot of crashes for a lot of people by simply doing this your game should no longer be crashing assuming you have the gog launcher installed but you own it there or not however if you're still getting random crashes when you're starting up the game then it could be caused to other overlays and programs affecting it the first thing we can try and do is disable the steam overlay though i think it's very unlikely that this could be causing an issue you can head into steam hit steam in the top left followed by settings then inside of here you can head to the in-game tab and simply make sure to uncheck this option over here enable the steam overlay while in-game i would highly recommend leaving this on for other games however as it's an incredibly useful overlay and if you're still crashing out after trying this you should go ahead and re-enable it when we're done with this tutorial and bug fixing i and many other people haven't experienced a crash with the steam overlay just yet it seems to just be the cog launcher overlay but if you're still experiencing crashes make sure to close everything on your pc that could be interacting with the game or hooking into it recording software such as xsplit obs bandicam and the rest do hook into games when you're recording them in game capture mode try closing any third-party recording software that you could have on your pc then for overlays you could have other software such as discord adding its own overlay which you can disable by clicking user settings in the bottom left heading across to overlay and simply turning it off at the very top over here and finally fps or statistics overlays could also cause crashing so if you have something like msi afterburner river tuna statistics server make sure that these are closed on your computer before actually launching it up if for some reason you're still crashing try and restart your pc then make sure that all these programs overlays and the rest are turned off and closed and then try to launch up the game as you usually would hopefully at this point you'll be able to play it as you'd expect if for some reason you're still crashing out make sure that your graphics driver is most importantly and windows are up to date the fewer programs you have running in the background the less likely the game is to crash on launch due to something else interacting with it and of course if you're still struggling with issues you're more than free to look for more solutions online however i would recommend being patient for updates as they are aware of a lot of issues and should be working on fixing some of them i would think the gog launcher overlay not working properly is probably really high up on their priorities list but anyways that's about it for this video hopefully you found something useful in it mine has been techno here for troubleshoot and i'll see you all next time ciao
