1. Check the system requirements

In general, Lethal Company has rather high requirements for your computer processor, especially when compared to other games. So if Lethal Company isn’t launching on your computer, the first thing you need to check is whether your machine meets the minimum system requirements for the game. If your machine is below or just at the requirements, you may need to upgrade your hardware for Lethal Company to run smoothly.

If you’re not sure how to check your computer specs, you can press the Windows key and the R key on your computer at the same time, then type msinfo32 to check your system specs in detail:

When you’re sure that your machine meets the system requirements to run the game, but Lethal Company is still not launching for you, please move on to the other fixes below.

3. Select the Installed Files tab and click on the Verified integrity of game files button.

When the verification process is done, try to launch Lethal Company again to see if it launches well this time. If the problem remains, please move on.

Other than corrupted game files, incorrect system compatibility settings could also be the culprit to the Lethal Company not launching problem, and you can try to modify these settings to see if they help Lethal Company to launch. To do so:

1. Right-click your Steam icon and select Properties.

Now try to open Lethal Company again (it should be opened with proper system permission), to see if it launches well. If the problem still remains, please move on to the next fix.

4. Update graphics card driver

An outdated or incorrect display card driver could also be the culprit to your Lethal Company not launching problem, so if the above methods don’t help Lethal Company to launch, it’s likely that you have a corrupted or outdated graphics driver. So you should update your drivers to see if it helps.

There are mainly 2 ways you can update your graphics driver: manually or automatically.

Option 1: Update your graphics driver manually

If you’re a tech-savvy gamer, you can spend some time updating your GPU driver manually.

To do so, first visit the website of your GPU manufacturer:

• NVIDIA
• AMD
• Intel

Then search for your GPU model. Note that you should only download the latest driver installer that’s compatible with your operating system. Once downloaded, open the installer and follow the on-screen instructions to update.

Option 2: Update your graphics driver automatically (Recommended)

If you don’t have the time, patience or skills to update the driver manually, you can do it automatically with Driver Easy. Driver Easy will automatically recognize your system and find the correct drivers for it. You don’t need to know exactly what system your computer is running, you don’t need to be troubled by the wrong driver you would be downloading, and you don’t need to worry about making a mistake when installing. Driver Easy handles it all.

You can update your drivers automatically with either the 7 days free trial or the Pro version of Driver Easy. It takes just 2 clicks, and you get full support and a 30-day money-back guarantee with the Pro version:

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 Activate & Update button next to the flagged device to automatically download and install the correct version of this driver.
   
   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 (You’ll need the Pro version for this – when you select Update All, you’ll get a prompt to upgrade. If you’re not prepared to purchase the Pro version yet, Driver Easy provides a 7-day trial at no cost, granting access to all Pro features like fast downloads and easy installation. No charges will occur until after your 7-day trial period ends.)
   
4. Restart your computer for the change to take effect.

Try to launch Lethal Company again and see if the latest graphics driver helps it to launch. If this fix doesn’t work for you, try the next fix, below.

5. Reinstall the game

According to some community users, if Lethal company doens’t launch for you, it’s probably becuase of some outdated mods, or mods conflicting with each other. To fix this problem, you can choose to reinstall Lethal Comapany and the installed mods altogether.

To uninstall Lethal Company from Steam:

1. Launch Steam.
2. Go to Library > Games, right-click Lethal Company and select Manage > Uninstall > Uninstall to remove it from your computer.
3. Then go to the Steam folder on your computer, try to locate the files for Lethal Company there (which is usually found via this path: Steam/steamapps/common/Lethal Company), then remove all files there.
4. Reinstall Lethal Company on Steam again.

Then try to launch Lethal Company and see if it launches well this time. If the problem remains, please move on.

6. Increase virtual memory

When Lethal Company doesn’t launch, it’s probably due to limited RAM space on your computer. To see if this is your case, you can try to increase the virtual memory to allow more RAM resource for the game to run. To do so:

1. In the Search box, type advanced system settings. Then click View advanced system settings from the list of results.
   
   
   
2. Under the Advanced tab, click Settings.
   
3. Select the Advanced tab and then click Change….
   
4. Uncheck Automatically manage paging file size for all drives.
   
5. Select your C drive and then tick Custom size.
   
   
6. Type in the values for Initial size and Maximum size. Then click OK to save the changes.
7. (Tips: Microsoft recommends that the virtual memory you set is no less than 1.5 times and no more than 3 times the size of your RAM. To check RAM on Windows, follow the instructions below. )

• On your keyboard, press Windows + R keys simultaneously to invoke the Run box.
  
• Type msinfo32.exe and press Enter.
  
  
  
• Scroll down and look for the Installed Physical Memory (RAM) entry.
  
  

1 GB (Gigabyte) = 1000 MB (Megabyte)

So in my case, the recommended initial size is: 8 GB * 1000 * 1.5 = 12000 MB
For the recommended maximum size, it will be: 8 GB * 1000 * 3 = 24000 MB

After increasing the page file size, try to launch Lethal Company to see if it works now. If the problem still remains, you may need more specific troubleshooting by checking the system crash logs. To know how to do it, please move on to the next method.

7. Check the system crash logs

If your Lethal Company still refuses to launch at this stage, and you’re still inclined to do the further troubleshooting by yourself, you can try to analyze the crash logs created by your computer when the crashes happened.

If you’re interested in knowing more about analyzing your crash logs files, please refer to method 2 in this post we have: How to Check Crash Logs on Windows: View Crash Logs with Event Viewer

You should then find some error codes and/or error messages in your Event Viewer that might help. The codes or messages you see on your computer might be unique in your case, so we don’t have more general fixes here to suggest.
