How to fix Company Of Heroes crashing on PC
Below are the different methods that you will need to do. Make sure you do each method until one fixes the problem that you are having with the game.
Update Windows
First and most importantly make sure you have the latest updates installed for your copy of Windows. If you do not have the latest updates installed then this can cause problems not only with PC games crashing, but also other issues within Windows itself.
Right-click on the start menu icon and select the Settings option
Click on Update & Security (on Windows 11 choose Windows Update)
Now click the Check for Updates button
Update GPU driver
Just like updating Windows, it’s also important to ensure you have the latest driver installed for your graphics card. It does not matter what GPU you have if you do not have the latest and correct driver installed then your graphics card is not going to perform as it should and become unstable.
I have added some links below on how you can update your graphics card driver if you are not sure how to do this.
Power plan
Within both Windows 10 and Windows 11 we can change the power plan. If your system is using a power saver plan then you will be restricting your system’s power and this can result in your computer becoming unstable, and yes you guessed correctly it can then cause Company Of Heroes 3 to crash! so use the high-performance power plan.
Open the Windows start menu and search for Control Panel then open it
Now change View by to Small icons then go to Power Options > Click on Show additional plans
Select the High Performance power plan option
Here’s an awesome tweak you can do in Windows and that’s to add the Windows 10 Ultimate or Windows 11 Ultimate hidden power plan for extra performance.
Background programs
If you have multiple programs or apps running within the background of Windows while you are trying to play the game. Then one of them could be conflicting with Company Of Heroes 3 causing the game to crash, so close everything down.
Programs that are known for causing crashing issues are Discord, MSI Afterburner overlay, Razer Cortex, and even web browsers like Microsoft Edge, Opera, etc
