Here are some of the ways that you can try to deal with the “an error occurred” bug in Lethal Company:


1) Scan and fix file integrity

The error can occur if there are a few corrupt files in the installation directory. To fix it, you need to scan and fix the files. Here are the steps to follow:

  • Launch Steam > Right-click on Lethal Company > Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Files.

This will launch a process that will automatically go over all the files that are installed for the game and then fix the ones that may have been damaged or corrupted.


2) Restart the game

While this may not seem like much of a solution, many in the community have stated that restarting Lethal Company a couple of times seems to have solved the issue for them.

You might want to try this as well and see if restarting the game works out for you.


3) Update your graphics drivers to the latest version

An outdated GPU driver might be causing the problem for you in the game, so you might want to update the driver through the respective desktop application. Both Nvidia and AMD have their own apps that help you to automatically detect as well as install the latest driver versions.

Alternatively, you can try and do it manually as well:

  • Nvidia users need to go here
  • AMD users need to go here

4) Check server availability

The error might be occurring because the servers themselves are either down for maintenance or facing login trouble. You can follow their official Discord server for more information regarding the situation. If the servers are actually down, you will have to wait for them to be stable again before logging back into the game.
