I'm experiencing crashes while trying to run Project Sigil.
If you're experiencing crashes while trying to start the client, here are some recommended steps you can take to help resolve the issue:
- Check to see if your computer meets the system requirements listed under the question “What do I need to play Project Sigil?”
- Updating your video drivers and operating system to the latest version could resolve compatibility issues. Older drivers or updates may have compatibility issues that could be causing the client to crash.
- If you continue to experience issues, please try disabling other programs running in the background and attempt to run Sigil by itself.
We hope those steps will resolve your issue
