ARC Raiders keeps crashing
Often old drivers or damaged game files
The game closes in the main menu or while a raid loads. Embark says outdated graphics drivers are one of the most common causes, along with damaged files and the Raider Voice beta.
How to fix it
Turn off Raider Voice (Beta) if you have it on.
Update your graphics driver with the AMD, Intel or NVIDIA tool.
Install the latest DirectX and any pending Windows updates, then restart.
In Steam, right-click the game, open Properties, go to Installed Files and verify the game files.
Turn off overlays and other third-party software.
