➡️ Update GPU Drivers via Device Manager

  1. Click on the Start button and type “Device Manager” in the search bar.
  2. Open Device Manager.
  3. Expand the “Display adapters” section.
  4. Right-click on the graphics driver and select “Update Driver”.
  5. Select “Search automatically for updated driver software”.
  6. If a new driver is available, Windows will download and install it automatically.

➡️ Update GPU Drivers via the driver updater tool

To save time and avoid any potential confusion, you may want to consider using a trusted third-party tool called PC HelpSoft to help you download the necessary drivers for your graphics card. This can help you avoid any potential issues that may arise when manually trying to find and install the correct drivers.

2. Diagnose your Internet connection

  1. Write Troubleshoot Settings in the Windows Search bar and Enter.
  2. Click on the Other troubleshooters option.
    Click on Other troubleshooter
  3. Press the Run button for Internet Connections.
    Press the Run button
  4. Select Troubleshoot my connection to the Internet and apply the potential fixes.
  5. Close the wizard and check your game again.

3. Change the game settings

  1. Open the Nvidia Control Panel.
  2. Access the 3D Settings tab.
  3. For the Maximum rendered pre-frames, pick 4.
  4. Set the Single display performance mode for GPU acceleration.
  5. For Tripple buffering, leave it on.
  6. Turn on the Vertical Sync.

You may encounter PES 2017 crash on startup or low FPS performance in case your computer doesn’t support the maximum game performance.

Thus, the players who are using Nvidia GPU can tweak their game settings and optimize it as shown above for improved gameplay without any lag.

PES 2017 Server Issues

pes-2017-server-issues

A lot of players are complaining about server issues, it seems that on the first day of the release, the game servers were down. This issue is persisting for some players and they receive this error when trying to connect to the server: “PES 2017 server is not reachable”, “Service is unavailable!”.

Other players are complaining about different error codes when they try to connect to the game servers, this is because some application or antivirus is blocking their connection.

To fix the server issues and connect to the game server follow the workarounds below.

✔️ Workarounds:

  • First, make sure that the problem is not your PC and that your internet connection is working, try to restart your router or modem and connect to the game again.
  • Make sure that the game is not blocked by your firewall or any other antiviruses that you have installed on your PC
  • You should consider setting up a port forward for it to better your online gaming experience.

There are quite a few reasons to set up a port forward for Pro Evolution Soccer 2017, such as fewer crashes when online, easier to play with friends, improved connection, less lag, more stability, and enhanced overall online experience.

If you need an open port on your router then you need to create a port forward. Open ports are used to allow a connection into your home network from the Internet. They are common in gaming, torrenting, and VOIP configurations. Use these guides to help you learn how to forward ports with ExpressVPN.

PES 2017 Black Screen

When you start the game you encounter a black screen, the sound works but you can’t see anything. To fix this issue you need to make sure that your screen resolution is the same as the game resolution.

✅ To change the game resolution, go to settings.exe, and to find out your screen resolution go to Desktop -> Right-Click -> Screen resolution.

  • If you can’t find your resolution in settings.exe follow this: Open properties of Settings.exe and in the compatibility tab, check the option that says “Disable Digital scaling on high DPI settings”.

PES 2017 Performance Issues

pes-2017-performance-issues

Players that have a good PC and meet the recommended system requirements of the game encounter a lot of performance issues. Some of them are Lag, Low FPS, FPS Drops, and Stuttering.

Note: Any game problem related to server errors, black screen, or performance issues like low FPS will lead to a PES 2017 game crash.

✔️ Workarounds: 

  • If you have an Nvidia GPU, go into your Nvidia control panel, under Program settings, and make the game run with these five settings changed:

👉 Maximum pre-rendered frames: 4

👉 Multi-display/mixed GPU acceleration: Single display performance mode

👉 Power management mode: Prefer maximum performance

👉 Triple buffering: On

👉 Verticle Sync: On

  • Switch off the Vertical Sync from Settings.exe.
  • If none of this helps you, install your latest GPU drivers. You can do it manually or automatically. PC HelpSoft will help you to scan, download and install your latest PC drivers automatically within a few minutes.

Let’s hope that by now you managed to fix all your PES 2017 errors and issues and that you are enjoying the game.
