Check your system specifications and compare them with the minimum system requirements for Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga:

If your computer doesn’t meet the requirement to run the game, try updating some of your hardware first. If every specification goes well, move on and try the fixes listed below.

Fix 1 Update graphics driver

Updating drivers should always be your go-to option when something goes wrong with your computer or system. An outdated or faulty graphics driver (aka video driver) is highly likely to hinder your smooth playing of Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga. 

Generally, you can update the graphics driver manually by downloading the files from the manufacturer’s website (Nvidia, Intel, AMD) and installing it by yourself.

Therefore, we recommend you use Driver Easy. It will automatically recognize your system and find the correct drivers for it.

1. Download and install Driver Easy.
2. Run Driver Easy and click the Scan Now button. Driver Easy will then scan your computer and detect any problem drivers.
   
3. Click the Update button next to the flagged graphics driver to automatically download the correct version of that driver, then you can manually install it (you can do this with the FREE version).
   Or click Update All to automatically download and install the correct version of all the drivers that are missing or out of date on your system. (This requires the Pro version which comes with full support and a 30-day money-back guarantee. You’ll be prompted to upgrade when you click Update All.)
   

Restart your computer to make changes apply. Then launch the game to check for any improvements on the crashing issue.
