How To Fix Crashing And Game Not Loading/ Starting In Rage 2
Check for latest GPU
The first things you can do is to check whether you have the latest GPU drivers or not. if you are running an old version of graphics driver then update and run the game.
If you have been using the new version of the driver and the game still does not load. then try installing the older version of the graphics driver and running the game again.
Turn Off Overlay Programs
The second method you can use to utilize is to close all the overlay Programs. this is one of the common reason for the game not starting.
- Update your Graphics Card driver.
- If you have an overlay, for example, MSI Afterburner, Geforce recording and more then close them too.
- Try running the game in borderless window mode which can be changed from the video settings.
- Try changing Vsync to Adaptive from video settings.
Force Windowed Launch
The third step you can use is to launch steam, then right click on Rage 2 in the steam library. then open the properties tab and select the Launch Options present in the general tab.
In the new window, you will find a dialogue box. here you will need to type -windowed and apply.
This will force the game to start in windowed mode. so just start the game again and see if it is starting or not.
