It's probably just cursed. Have you tried turning your PC off and on again?

Your anti-virus might be the culprit here! Some overly eager anti-virus programs might flag and interfere with your Steam game, mistaking it for a threat. Try adding your game as an exception in your anti-virus settings, or temporarily disable the anti-virus when you play.

Heat issues often cause crashes. If your PC sounds like a jet engine before the game crashes, it鈥檚 time to clean the dust out of your fans and maybe invest in better cooling solutions.

Your Steam game might be crashing due to outdated graphics drivers or compatibility issues with your system. Make sure your drivers are up to date, and check the game's system requirements against your PC specs. Also, verify the game files through Steam to catch any corrupted or missing files that could cause trouble.

Don't overlook background applications! Sometimes other software running on your PC can conflict with your Steam games, causing them to crash unexpectedly. Try closing unnecessary apps before launching your game and see if that helps.
