Game crashes on startup

If, after installation, you come across crashing issues while launching the game- game crashing back to desktop, black screen and the like- it’s probably a problem with your drivers. To fix this, all you need to do is install the latest drivers for your hardware.

If you face frame-rate drops or lag while playing The Division, here’s what you can do to fix the issue: go to the task manager and put the game on “high priotiy”, then disable v-sync. Go to Nvidia control Panel> Manage 3D settings and from here set the power management mode to “prefer maximum performance”.

  • Find GFXSettings.Rogue_x64.xml

  • Go to Resolution
  • Change the custom height and width to your screen’s resolution
