Xcom Enemy Within Freeze Fix

Guide4GameS: Fixing all XCOM Enemy Within PC Crashes, Freezes, Won’t launch, Low FPS, Crash to Desktop and other Fixes. This bug has happened couple of times in different missions. In Enemy Unknown this kind of game freeze never happened. So there is this bug/glitch to fix.

Original Message Hey steam community, I have to deal with a really nasty issue here, but I hope you can help me with it. Both, Enemy Unknown as well as Enemy Within, always crash while I am in a game and I find myself back on the desktop with the standard windows error message 'XCOM.exe has stopped working'. Sometimes this happens right in my first match, but sometimes it happens while I am 2 hours or so in the game. This is the only game in my library where an error like that occurs. I read somewhere that DDR2 memory may cause this issue but I am not sure whether this is true or not.

I really enjoy the game when it is working, but I have now reached a point where I do not want to play on anymore with this bug. I am open to any advice or suggestion. Video card drivers thanks to them only testing on certain games and tweaking those for certain games.

You have to find a driver that will work with the game. I use to have a Geforce GT400 I use Nvidia 306.23 version drivers, some people used 314.22 version for their video card (different manufacturer's - different model). Interpersonal And Group Dynamics Ebook Store there.

With my new GTX 650 Ti Geforce card, I been using the latest version 340.52 - no crashes yet, but with other slightly older drivers - yes there were crashes. But XCOM is not the only game people are having problems with. It may be many games due to drivers, the computer whatever in the computer.

But in case it was something else in your computer like dust and dirt inside (clean it) or whatever (which should not be the case with XCOM since it is not a FPS), then there is the standard Help menu item here on Steam or the 2K Support Ticket at 2K games to make out. But in my case it has be video card drivers, and that is that. I did all of this stuff (my specs are fine - EU worked perfectly fine) but nothing works for me. Since EW the game is a mess for me. Couldn´t play more than 20min since i installed the EW-DLC.

This game is literally the first game in more than ten years i have not been able to stop from crashing. Its totally random. It crashed in the menu screen, while loading, while tabbing to switch the soldier, randomly in my turn while panning the map, while shooting an enemy, in the enemies turn, on the global map and nearly everywhere in the base (i think the only place it did not crash was in reaserch an in the cinematics) I am not an expert, but i know how to handle a PC and have not had a problem that i could not fix. But with EW i had to give up.

I am hoping for patches but there was nothing in months, which is really sad.i really loved Enemy Unknown. Only a GTX 285 Geforce card.

Well, you may need older drivers, and whatever Nvidia says lately should be taken with a grain of whatever. Those newer drivers simply do not work for all graphics cards. There on that link are many Nvidia drivers, and trying older ones may be the ticket to play the game (so to say) because it is only made with Direct X 9 and perhaps a lower resolution may help also.
