Why Is my Cult of the Lamb keep crashing on the PC?

There are several main reasons why Cult of the Lamb crashes on your computer, such as:

• outdated GPU driver

• corrupted system files
• unnecessary apps running in the background
• firewall or antivirus interfere with the game

How do I fix it when my Cult of the Lamb keeps crashing on the PC?

Before applying our specific troubleshooting tips, we recommend doing these simpler steps first:

• Check if your PC meets the recommended system requirements for the game.
• Update Windows to the latest version.
• Run the game as an administrator.
• Close all unnecessary background tasks (Press the Ctrl + Shift + Esc keys to open Task Manager, right-click on unwanted process, and choose End Task).

If you followed all the previous steps but the game still crashes, then do the following:

1. Update GPU driver
2. Repair game files
3. Allow game through the firewall
4. Check for storage issues

1. Update GPU driver

You can update drivers as shown here or by downloading from the GPU manufacturer’s website (AMD, NVIDIA, or Intel). However, we recommend the simplest way to keep all systems up-to-date is through the PC HelpSoft tool. This useful tool will find and install the original drivers for your hardware, so there’s no need to waste time updating manually.

2. Repair game files

Cult of the Lamb will likely crash if one or more game files are corrupted or missing. We advise you to check and repair (if any) corrupted game files as follows:

1. Launch the Steam client and go to the game library.

2. Right-click on Cult of the Lamb and select Properties from the context menu.

3. Select LOCAL FILES from the menu and click on Verify integrity of game files.

4. Wait until Steam verifies and repairs all game files, then restart your PC.

5. Launch the Cult of the Lamb to check if the crashing issue is gone.

3. Allow game through the firewall

Maybe you have a crashing issue because the Windows Firewall blocks Cult of the Lamb. To allow the game on the Windows firewall, do the following:

1. Press Windows + R keys to open the Run dialog box.

2. Type; firewall.cpl and press Enter (or click OK).

3. Click the option Allow an app or feature through Windows Defender Firewall.

4. Select the Change Settings button and Allow Another App.

5. Browse to add the Cult of the Lamb exception to the Firewall.

6. Click the respective checkboxes by allowing Cult of the Lamb through Public and Private networks

7. Confirm changes on OK.  

We recommend that you also temporarily disable Windows Virus & Treat Protection or a third-party antivirus if it is installed on your PC. However, don’t forget to turn your antivirus back on when you’re done playing. If the problem is with the antivirus, make an exception for the game, similar to the Windows firewall.

4. Check for storage issues

One of the possible reasons why the Cult of the Lamb is crashing is that your SSD (or HDD) has some file issues. Run a simple SFC tool (System File Checker) to check the integrity of system files. It is a Windows utility that scans and possibly repairs corrupted system files. Another problem is if your game files are in a bad disk sector. Fortunately, logically bad sectors can be detected and repaired. If physical damage is involved, it is best to replace the disc. Do the following:

1. Click on the search box and enter cmd.

2. Right-click on the Command prompt and select Run as administrator.

3. Type; sfc /scannow and press Enter.

4. Check if the problem is solved after SFC scans your storage.

5. Check your disk for bad sectors with the chkdsk d: /f /r /x. d represents the disk label on which your game is located.

Extra steps:

Have you applied all the previous steps, but the Cult of the Lamb crash problem still exists? Then consider these options:

• Update DirectX, .NET Framework, and VCRedist.
• Update the game (Try relaunching Steam for automatic update).
• Perform a clean boot (disable unnecessary apps to boot with Windows).
• Reinstall Cult of the Lamb.
