This is no longer a normal installation issue.
From what you described:
- You already formatted your system
- You reinstalled everything correctly
- The game briefly opens, then freezes or crashes
- Other applications (like Google Play Games) also have issues
ππ» This strongly suggests a system-level problem, not the game itself.
β οΈ Important:
If multiple applications are failing after a fresh format, the issue is usually:
- Missing or broken Windows components
- GPU / graphics driver issues
- Incomplete or unstable Windows installation
β Please try these:
- Update your GPU drivers
- NVIDIA / AMD / Intel (very important)
- Install DirectX (latest)
- Even if you think itβs already installed
- Reinstall Visual C++ Redistributables
- Install ALL versions (x86 + x64)
- Run system check
sfc /scannow
- Try running the game in windowed mode
- Sometimes fullscreen crash = GPU issue
π‘ Also:
You mentioned this:
it works after format, but breaks again after reboot
ππ» That is a big red flag for:
- Driver conflicts
- Windows update breaking something
- Corrupted system state after restart
π Conclusion:
- β Not caused by the game
- β Not caused by your install steps
- ππ» Very likely a Windows/driver issue on your system
If possible, please also tell me:
- Your GPU (NVIDIA / AMD / Intel)
- Laptop model (if any)
That will help narrow it down further.
