Enshrouded remains one of the standout survival titles on the market, with frequent major updates from the developers. Since it’s currently in early access, technical issues and bugs are to be expected. The latest Thralls of Twilight update has introduced a few stability problems as well.
If Enshrouded keeps crashing for you during or after launch, here are a few things you can do to fix it.
Fixing Enshrouded crashing
Since this is largely an issue with the update, the developers are aware of it and are working on a hotfix to address it. However, there are a few workarounds and troubleshooting tips you can follow to improve stability if your crashes aren’t related to the new update.
Switch from DLAA to DLSS
If you’re an NVIDIA user with an RTX GPU, consider switching to one of the DLSS presets from DLAA instead. For some reason, a combination of the new update and GPU drivers possibly results in a crash with DLAA. Additionally, use one of the lower presets of DLSS if possible, like balanced or performance, instead of quality.
Set reflections to balanced
It seems that, along with DLAA breaking, some of the graphics settings are a bit unstable as well. The developers have recommended turning down reflections from standard to balanced instead. The general recommendation is to avoid using settings from the “max” preset at the moment.
Verify game files
Since the game is regularly updated, there is a decent chance that something went wrong during the download or installation process. It’s why I recommend verifying the game files just in case.
- Open Steam and navigate to your library
- Here, right-click on Enshrouded and select Properties
- In the Installed Files tab, click on Verify integrity of game files
Update GPU drivers
If you haven’t updated your GPU drivers in a while, now is a good time to do so. NVIDIA’s last few driver releases have been quite buggy, so having the latest ones should improve stability issues. This is another recommendation from the developers.
You can get the latest ones from the links below:
The developers have assured affected users that hotfixes to address these stability concerns are on the way, and we should see improvements in Enshrouded soon. For now, though, the workarounds above should provide you with a playable experience, and I’ll update this guide once a major patch is out, specifically for these crashes.
