Get the Latest Game Update
Assuming that you meet the required hardware to play Polygon Fantasy Battle Simulator, the next thing you need to check is the game version. Make sure that you have the latest version of Polygon Fantasy Battle Simulator.
To get the latest update, make sure that your computer is connected to the internet. Next, launch the game on Steam, and it should trigger the update download functionality of the Steam launcher. If there’s a new patch for Polygon Fantasy Battle Simulator, simply wait for Steam to finish the downloading and installation process.
Get the Latest Drivers
It is important that your computer must have the required driver update to ensure that it can accommodate the process that is required by Polygon Fantasy Battle Simulator. If you have an outdated driver, don’t be surprised if your game is crashing.
In this case, you must download and install the latest update on your computer. Some of the most important updates that you must have are for your GPU, DirectX, and Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables. There may be some drivers that are needed by Polygon Fantasy Battle Simulator, but those are the most common drivers needed to run the game.
We highly recommend using Driver Booster to automatically download all of your computer’s outdated drivers. This tool will ensure that you have the correct drivers needed by your PC. In addition, this will save you time searching for the correct driver updates.
Here’s how you can easily update your drivers using this software:
- Download and install Driver Booster for free.
- Run the application and click the Scan button. This will scan your computer and check for all outdated drivers.
- Once the scanning is complete, you can manually update each driver or simply click the Update Now button.
- Wait until the update process is complete. If an on-screen prompt is required, simply follow the instructions.
- After the successful update, restart your computer.
Keep in mind that your computer may also restart several times, depending on the drivers that need to be updated. Don’t worry, all of these restarts and updates are safe.
Disable Steam Overlay
Disabling the Steam overlay may fix the crashing issues while playing Polygon Fantasy Battle Simulator and can increase the overall performance. We personally disable the Steam overlay while we play Polygon Fantasy Battle Simulator since we don’t use the Steam client while in-game. However, please keep in mind that there are reports that disabling Steam overlay causes some crashing issues on some games.
There’s nothing wrong in trying, so here’s the exact process on how to disable Steam overlay:
- First, open Steam.
- Go to “Settings” and click on the “In Game” tab option on the left side.
- Toggle off the “Enable the Steam overlay while in-game” option.
That’s it. Pretty simple, right? Please note that the process above will turn off the Steam overlay on all of your Steam games. If you want to only disable it on Polygon Fantasy Battle Simulator, you can do the following:
- Launch Steam.
- Click on the “Library” tab and search for Polygon Fantasy Battle Simulator on the left side.
- Right-click Polygon Fantasy Battle Simulator and select “Properties…” option.
- In the “General” tab, toggle off the “Enable the Steam overlay while in-game” option.
Now, the Steam overlay will no longer be accessible while playing Polygon Fantasy Battle Simulator.
Check for Corrupted Game Files
Since we are using a Windows operating system, it’s not surprising to see some files unexpectedly facing some corruption. In this case, we recommend that you verify the game integrity of Polygon Fantasy Battle Simulator. Thankfully, Steam has a built-in tool that can verify the game files needed by Polygon Fantasy Battle Simulator.
To verify that you have all the Polygon Fantasy Battle Simulator files, follow these steps:
- Step 1: Launch Steam
- Step 2: Go to the “Library” section
- Step 3: Look for Polygon Fantasy Battle Simulator on the left side and right-click then select the “Properties…” option
- Step 4: Go to the “Installed Files” tab.
- Step 5: Click the “Verify integrity of game files” button.
All you have to do is wait until Steam completes its verification process. In case there are missing or corrupted files, you don’t have to do anything because Steam will automatically download or fix those corrupted files.
Terminate Unwanted Background-Running Services/Applications
Windows OS is known for running unwanted programs and services in its background, and each program that is running in the background consumes memories. Since you are running Polygon Fantasy Battle Simulator and you don’t want any other application to take this memory, it is recommended to terminate and close these unwanted processes.
You can close these unwanted services by opening your Task Manager. In the “Processes” tab, you can select and terminate those programs that are not needed while playing Polygon Fantasy Battle Simulator.
If you’re unsure about these unwanted services and programs, Driver Booster has a built-in feature called Game Boost that allows users to automatically terminate and optimize the system services for a better gaming experience. Make sure to take advantage of that feature!
Uninstall/Reinstall Polygon Fantasy Battle Simulator
There are lots of things happening in the background during the initial installation process of Polygon Fantasy Battle Simulator. While the default installer on Steam does the job of removing the installation, there are still some residual files that are being left from the previous installation. If you want to perform a clean Polygon Fantasy Battle Simulator installation, you should also remove the registry records of Polygon Fantasy Battle Simulator. You can manually do that, but if you’re not familiar with the Windows registry, then we recommend using IObit Uninstaller to perform a clean uninstall.
Once the game is uninstalled, simply download and reinstall Polygon Fantasy Battle Simulator using the Steam client. After the successful installation, check if you still encounter those annoying crashes.
Reach Out the Support
Assuming that you have done all the suggested workarounds above and still getting the crashing issues, we recommend that you directly reach out to the official support team of Polygon Fantasy Battle Simulator. You can do that by visiting the official developer or publisher’s website or using the community of Polygon Fantasy Battle Simulator on Steam.
