Getting the "A PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS process has crashed" error whenever I try to launch the game. Have tried many solutions to no avail

Hi all,

All of a sudden I am getting an error appearing when I try to launch the game. A windows for the "BATTLEGROUNDS Crash Reporter" program appears saying "A PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS process has crashed".

This occurs before the game even launches, a few moments after clicking Play in Steam.

Computer is running Windows 11, and I have played PUBG on it for years without issue. The only unusual thing I did prior to this issue occuring was leave the game running in the lobby for a few hours.

Of course, I have Googled the error and have tried a number of solutions:

  • Restarted the computer
  • Verfied file integrity in Steam ("All 1012 files successfully validated")
  • Ensured the Memory Integrity setting in Windows Security was off (was never on)
  • Ensured Windows Game Bar was off (was never on)
  • Updated drivers
  • Tried running the game as Administrator
  • Ran DISM.exe (hangs at 62.3% - seems to be a common problem)
  • Ran sfc scannow
  • Uninstalled and reinstalled the game

None of these have resolved the issue.

Would anyone have any ideas?

Many thanks in advance.
