Ghost Recon: Wildlands Keeps Crashing? Here's What You Need To Know

For fans of tactical shooters like myself, nothing can be more frustrating than experiencing constant crashes in a game we've invested so much time into. If you're one such player who is facing this issue with Ghost Recon: Wildland and are looking for some solutions to resolve the problem, then you've come to the right place.

In recent times, several players have been reporting issues of their game crashing frequently without any apparent reason or warning signs leading up to it. This can be quite a nuisance especially if you were in the middle of an intense mission or multiplayer session with your squadmates.

Before we dive into potential fixes for this problem though, let's first understand what might cause Ghost Recon: Wildlands (or any other PC game) to crash so frequently:

1. Graphic Card Issues:

- Outdated graphics drivers

- Insufficient VRAM (Video RAM)

2. System Compatibility Problems:

- Incompatible Operating System or hardware specifications

Now that we have covered some possible causes, let's move onto potential solutions you can try out:

Solution 1: Check for Updates

First things first; make sure your game is always up-to-date with the latest patches and updates. Sometimes these may include important bug fixes that could resolve issues like this.

To do so:

- Launch Steam (if using) or Origin/Playstore depending on how you purchased Ghost Recon Wildlands

- Go to 'Library' > Click on Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildands

- Check for Updates and download any available patches

Solution 2: Verify Game Files

Sometimes corrupted game files can also lead to such issues. Here's a step-by-step guide on how you can verify your game files:

1. Close the Steam client completely if it is running in the background.

2. Press Windows + R keys simultaneously and type 'cmd' without quotes, then press Enter

3. In the Command Prompt window that opens, navigate to the following directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\GhostReconWildlands\

4. Run these commands one by one:

- cd 'C:\ProgramData Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\'

- ubwiz --reinstall-all

5. Once this process is complete, restart your computer and try launching the game again.

Solution 3: Check for Driver Updates

Outdated graphics drivers can also cause compatibility problems with newer games like Ghost Recon Wildlands. Here's how you can update them:

1. Press Windows + R keys together to open Run

2. Type 'Device Manager' without quotes in the search bar and press Enter

3. In Device Management, expand the 'Display Adapters' section

4. Double-click on your graphics card driver (usually either NVIDIA or AMD depending upon what brand you're using)

5. Click on 'Update Driver'

6. Follow any prompts to restart your computer after updating

Solution 4: Disable Background Applications

Sometimes running too many applications in the background can also cause performance issues with games like this. Here's how you can disable them:

1. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc keys together to open Task Manager

2. Click on 'Process' tab at the top and then click on More Details if it is not already expanded

3. Look for any programs or processes that are consuming excessive CPU, RAM, or Disk space

4. Right-click on them and select 'End Process'

If none of these solutions work out for you, I would recommend reinstalling your operating system from scratch as a last resort since there could be deeper software conflicts at play.
