Back 4 Blood – Crashing At Startup – Game Won’t Launch – How To Fix
[Note: The Fixes Mentioned In This Article Are For Back 4 Blood Beta, And They Might Change When The Full Version Of The Game Launches.]
One Of The Biggest Releases Of 2021, Back 4 Blood Is Finally Here. You Can Now Finally Try It. Not The Full Version, Though. For Now, The Beta Version Of The Game Is Available On Steam And Epic Games Store. But Only If You Have Pre-ordered The Game, Or You Have A Beta Access Code. Back 4 Blood Is Easily One Of The Most Awaited Zombie Shooters Of This Year. And You Can Easily Tell, As The Game Is Already Getting Close To 80,000 Players Playing The Game On Steam. Numbers On EGS Are Still Unknown. I Am Pretty Sure That The Number Of Concurrent Players Are Well Over 100k. The Early Access Will Run From August 5 Noon PST To August 9 Noon PST. And The Open Beta Will Run From August 12 Noon PST To August 16 Noon PST.
The Problem Is, People Have Already Started Experiencing Many Performance Issues And Errors, Right From The Beta. But If You Ask Me, I Won’t Call This A Matter Of Concern. This Is What Betas Are For, Right? I Am Really Happy That Turtle Rock Studios Decided To Release A Beta, As This Would Help The Developers Get Some Actual Feedback. And They Would Have Enough Time To Fix The Issues Before The Full Version Of The Game Releases.
Time To Talk About The Problems Now. Back 4 Blood Is Crashing For A Lot Of PC Users, And Some Are Not Even Being Able To Launch Or Start The Game. Honestly, I Don’t Get Surprised By Issues Like This Anymore. In The Last Few Years, Issues Like These Have Become Extremely Common In AAA Titles. Just A Few Weeks Ago, The New World Beta Was Live, And The Game Had Exact Same Problems. And Let’s Not Forget, Back 4 Blood Is An Always Online Game, And We All Know How The Always Online Games Are Nowadays.
That Is Why I Decided To Put All The Fixes Recommended By The Community And The Fixes That I Think Would Help In One Place, So That Players Don’t Have To Check Multiple Sources For Them.

[Note: Avoid This Step If You Already Have The Latest Drivers]
- If you are using an Nvidia gpu, please use NVIDIA GeForce Experience to check that you are up-to-date with your drivers.
- If you are using an AMD gpu, please use RADEON Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition to check that you are up-to-date with your drivers.
A New Nvidia Driver, Optimized For Back 4 Blood, Is Now Available. The Version Is 471.68. You Can Download It From This Link. You Can Also Check For Updates Via Nvidia GFE.
If You Are Getting Errors Like “vcruntime140_1.dll Missing” Or “MSVCP140.dll Was Not Found”. The Go Ahead And Install The Latest Version Of Visual C++ Redistributable, As There’s A Chance It Hasn’t Been Installed Correctly.
Here Are Some Extra Things You Can Do Just To Be Sure:
- Disable your Antivirus software. AV Software giving false positives could often lead to launch issues in games.
- Disable Steam overlay or other overlays(GFE, AMD Adenalin, Discord, Steam etc.)
- Run the Back4Blood.exe as admin directly from the installation folder instead of launching the game via Steam: Just open your Steam library Select Back 4 Blood Click on the Settings tab, located on the right side of your screen Manage > Browse local files You should land on the installation folder of Back 4 Blood
- Verify the files on Steam on Epic. Depends on what you are using
- Re-install in a different location (The last thing you should try)
