In a move that will be welcomed by PC game players, Microsoft has released an important fix for a problem that was causing games to crash abruptly when running on the Windows 10 operating system.
The issue was first reported back in October 2020, and Microsoft had been working to develop a solution ever since. Now, that solution is available and should resolve all issues that were causing games to crash in Windows 10.
The issue arose due to minor hardware incompatibilities between certain graphics cards and Windows 10’s specific hardware requirements. In practice, this meant that when trying to launch or play certain titles, players would experience a crash almost immediately while Windows 10 would fail to recognise the graphics card and halt the game in question.
This is obviously something of a major issue, as it leaves users unable to enjoy their favourite titles and considerably restricts the Windows experience overall.
The new update resolves this issue by introducing a new driver that is designed to create greater compatibility between Windows 10 and graphics cards that are limited in hardware compatibility.
This is not the only fix that Microsoft has released for gaming-related issues recently. Earlier in February, fixes were released to address a memory leak issue that was causing games to run slower than they should due to the greater memory usage.
It’s clear from this that Microsoft hasn’t forgotten about its Windows 10 players, and regularly updates its gaming tools in an attempt to make the experience as smooth as possible.
Overall, this new update should resolve any issues that users have experienced with game crashing in Windows 10 and allow them to enjoy their favourite games without disruption.
