How to possibly resolve Broken Arrow 'Unity crash' error

The Unity crash in Broken Arrow is usually caused by a mix of outdated graphics drivers, missing system updates, or hardware being pushed too hard by high in-game settings.

It can also stem from corrupted game files, software conflicts (like overlays or antivirus), or memory overload during intense gameplay. In some cases, overclocking or incompatible background apps can also lead to sudden crashes. Below are the best ways to troubleshoot and fix the Unity crash.

1) Verify game files via Steam

If something’s corrupted or missing, Steam can usually fix it:

  • Open Steam, right-click Broken Arrow
  • Go to Properties > Installed Files
  • Click Verify Integrity of Game Files

This process will scan and re-download any damaged files.


2) Turn off Background apps and overlays

Disable apps that might be clashing with Unity. These include:

  • Discord Overlay (Settings > Game Overlay > Off)
  • NVIDIA/GeForce Overlay (in GeForce Experience settings)
  • Steam Overlay
  • Hardware monitoring apps like MSI Afterburner or RivaTuner
  • Temporarily pause antivirus if it has real-time protection

After disabling, restart your system before launching the game again.


3) Update your GPU drivers

This should always be your first move. Both NVIDIA and AMD regularly release updates that improve game compatibility.

  • Go to the official site for your GPU.
  • Download and install the latest version
  • Reboot your PC afterward

While you're at it, check Windows for updates, too. Go to Settings and then click on Windows Update to install any pending patches.

The Unity crash in Broken Arrow can be a pain, but it’s fixable in most cases. Whether it’s a simple driver update or a bit of tweaking to your graphics settings, chances are you’ll be back in command soon.
