The problem of freezing or Nioh crash This usually occurs when users try to transition within missions. The problem usually arises when other applications of a similar nature try to interfere with the game process, the game does not have sufficient permissions to run, or your graphics card driver is not working.

Regardless of what may be causing the problem, the troubleshooting methods listed below will help you get your game up and running like before in no time.

For this reason, we suggest that you first follow the troubleshooting methods, identify what might be causing the problem in your case, and continue with the method that suits your situation.

How to fix Nioh freezing or crashing issue?

As we mentioned above, below we are going to list a series of methods that will help you fix the Nioh crash problem. So take note of the following recommendations and find the solution that best suits you:

Disable unnecessary applications

If Nioh crashes on launch, there is a chance that it is happening due to interference from other applications or programs installed on your system. This is especially true if there are overlapping applications such as Steam or Discord.

If this scenario applies to you, then disabling overlaying or unnecessary apps should do the trick for you. Here are the steps you need to follow to disable apps that you find unnecessary:

• Start the Task Manager pressing the Ctrl keys + Shift + I together.
• Inside the Task Manager window, locate the target application and right-click on it.

• Choose Finish homework in the context menu and see if doing so works for you.

Run the game as administrator

Nioh may also have limited permissions to run, causing the app to crash when you try to use it. The solution to this is simple, as all you need to do is run the game as an administrator.

Simply right-click on the application and select Run as administrator from the context menu. However, if the game crashes or freezes again, move on to the next method below.

Run a clean installation of your graphics driver

Another thing you can try is to clean install your graphics driver, as the Nioh crashing/freezing issue can also be related to the graphics driver. Usually, a clean install will fix issues caused by corrupted or outdated drivers.

• Visit the manufacturer's official website. Here we will show you how to clean the card installation NvidiaThe steps to clean install other graphics drivers may be slightly different, but the basic principle remains the same.
• In the Manual Driver Search section, enter the required information and click the Start Search button.

• From the list of available drivers, select the one you want to download and click the “Get download«.

• In the next dialog box, select Custom (Advanced) in the drop-down menu. Press Next to continue.

• Select the checkbox Perform a clean install and click Next.

• Once the process is complete, try launching the game and check if the issue is resolved.

Verify game integrity

Your Nioh game files may also be corrupted, leading to the issue at hand. If the drivers are working fine, we suggest you move forward with identifying the integrity of the game.

During the integrity verification process, the files on your computer will be compared to those on the servers of Steam. If some files are different, they will be corrected or modified. However, your saved information will not be modified during the process.

These are the steps you need to follow in order to verify the integrity of the game:

• Starts Steam and right click on your Nioh game.
• Choose Properties in the context menu.
• Then click Verify the integrity of game files in the Local File section.

Install/repair Visual C++ files

If you encounter the problem after launching the game from the executable, try installing/repairing the entire Visual C++ Redistributable. If you don't know yet, in Microsoft's Visual Studio development environment, the Visual C++ Redistributable is a DLL (Dynamic Link Library) file that is required for programs and games.

• Go to Microsoft Visual C++ Download Center and download the x86 and x64 executable files one by one.
• Once the files have downloaded, click on them to install.
• Then, download Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 (both x86 and x64) from the same website and install it.
• Finally, all you have to do is restart your computer and check if the problem is solved.

Change the game installation location

Often, a bad sector on your hard drive can also cause the problem. In this case, you can fix the problem by installing the game in a different folder. However, you will have to download the game file from scratch.

Here are the detailed steps to do so:

• Launch Steam and go to the game library.
• Right click on the Nioh game and select uninstall.
• Once the file is uninstalled, head to the Library and download the file again, but this time, download it to a different location than before.

Perform a clean boot

Clean boot is a way to fix many problems within the operating system WindowsWhen you perform a clean boot, many of the usual functions are disabled. Your Windows will start with only the essential set of drivers.

System administrators do this to diagnose and identify problems within each component. Once the problem is identified and resolved, your PC will reboot, and upon restart, you will have all your components, drivers, and applications back as usual.

If none of the above-mentioned methods have worked for you and Nioh is still crashing or freezing, we suggest you perform a clean boot. It will help you identify the deep-rooted problem within the system and then you can proceed accordingly.
