How to Fix Fall Guys
Crashing

If Fall Guys keeps crashing or freezing, follow these steps in order. Crashes are almost always local — GPU drivers, corrupted files, or conflicting software — rather than server-side issues.

General Guidance Only

These steps are provided for informational purposes only and may not reflect the latest game updates. Port numbers, menu paths, and settings can vary by platform and version.

Step-by-Step Fix

Verify game files in Epic Launcher

Epic Games Launcher → Fall Guys → three dots → Manage → Verify integrity. Corrupted files from botched updates are the most common cause of Fall Guys crashes on PC.

Update GPU drivers

Fall Guys gets frequent updates that sometimes require newer GPU drivers. Install the latest via NVIDIA GeForce Experience or AMD Adrenalin with a clean install option, then restart.

Disable Epic overlay

In the Epic Games Launcher Settings, scroll to Fall Guys and disable the Epic overlay. Overlays are a common source of crashes in games running on the EOS (Epic Online Services) platform.

Check for Windows or console system updates

An outdated Windows version or console system firmware can cause compatibility crashes with Fall Guys. Install all pending OS/firmware updates and restart.

Lower graphics settings

Fall Guys can crash from VRAM exhaustion on older GPUs at high settings. Lower texture quality and shadows, and turn off anti-aliasing if crashes happen during loading or mid-round.

Disable Discord overlay

Discord's in-game overlay conflicts with Fall Guys on PC. In Discord Settings → Game Overlay, disable "Enable in-game overlay." This is a known source of crashes at round-start transitions.

Is it server-side?

Check real-time player reports — if reports are spiking, it's on Mediatonic / Epic Games's end, not yours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Fall Guys crash on PC?

Most Fall Guys PC crashes are caused by corrupted game files (verify in Epic Launcher), conflicting overlays (disable Discord and Epic overlays), or outdated GPU drivers. Update your GPU drivers, disable all overlays, and verify game files in that order.

Fall Guys crashes at the start of every round — what's causing it?

Round-start crashes often happen when Fall Guys is loading a new level's assets and runs out of VRAM or encounters a corrupted file. Lower your texture quality settings and verify game files to fix this.

Fall Guys won't launch on PC — how do I fix it?

A failed launch is usually caused by corrupted Epic Launcher files, missing Visual C++ Redistributables, or an antivirus blocking game files. Verify game files in the Epic Launcher, install the latest Visual C++ Redistributables from microsoft.com, and add Fall Guys to your antivirus exclusion list.
