How to fix Combat Master crashing?

💡 You are not alone! Combat Master crashing when loading a map is an issue impacting many gamers. There is still no official patch for this, as we are waiting for it to come from the team developing the game. In the meantime, you can do everything possible so that there is nothing wrong with your PC and the game installation.

To try to prevent crashes in Combat Master, apply these easy checks:

• Ensure the game launches in fullscreen: This was discovered by one gamer that had issues with Combat Master crashing while launching. Find and right-click on Combat Master in Steam, and select Properties. Add -fullscreen parameter under the Launch Options.
• Check the temperatures: If your PC is overheating, it can cause game crashes. Check the temperatures of your GPU and CPU, but also other devices. If the temperatures are high (more than 70°C or 160°F), consider cleaning the dust, changing the thermal paste, and ensuring proper ventilation.
• Check for updates: You can head to Alfa Bravo’s official website (the team behind Combat Master) and check if they have released any updates patching game performance and stability issues. If so, go to the Steam library, right-click on the game, and select Properties. Click on Updates, download, and install updates if they are available.

If this doesn’t stop Combat Master from crashing, proceed with the step-by-step solutions listed below.

1. Verify game files

3. Disable background apps

Background apps will consume your PC resources even if the game runs on fullscreen. You can avoid this by disabling all of the apps before launching games. Additionally, we recommend you follow the steps below to disable ‘hidden’ apps using Task Manager.

💡 If any apps create screen overlays and you want to keep this app running, then head to the app settings and disable the overlay. The most common suspects are Steam, Discord, and GeForce Now.

1. Use the CTRL + Shift + ESC shortcut to open Task Manager.
2. Find the apps you don’t need when playing the Combat Master in the Processes tab.
3. Right-click on the app and choose End task.
   
4. Do the same for remaining unnecessary apps.

⚠ Remember: Avoid closing apps in which you have unsaved progress. Never terminate Windows or security software background processes.
