By verifying your files, updating your drivers, and ensuring your PC meets the DX12 requirements, you should be able to fix the crash on startup.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 25px;\">If the game is still unstable due to optimization issues, XMODhub can help bridge the gap. Use Game Speed adjustments to bypass crash-prone sections and Auto-Backups to secure your survival progress.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center; padding-top: 20px; border-top: 1px solid #243043;\">\n<p style=\"color: #9ca3af; margin-bottom: 20px;\">Don&#8217;t let a bug end your nightmare early.
