Potential fixes for FragPunk crashing on PC error

Here is a list of temporary solutions you can try out on your computer to hopefully bypass the recurring FragPunk crashing on PC error:

1) Close all background application

FragPunk is a new-generation game, and despite being in Closed Beta, it has some steep requirements. With its availability limited to newer generation consoles and high-end PCs, we believe it should be allowed to draw as much power as it needs from your CPU, GPU, and RAM.

We urge you to shut down all background applications that draw a lot of power from your peripherals, such as Google Chrome, browser extensions, and if you are on a low-end PC, even gameplay recorders, such as Nvidia ShadowPlay.

This will help your PC allocate resources to the program and run the game smoothly, potentially mitigating the crashing error.

1. Launch Steam and log in with your credentials.
