Problem #1 Endless Space Crash Fix – Crash to Desktop upon Launch / Startup

If Endless Space randomly crashes upon launching the game, ensure or try the following:

1. Update your nVidia / ATI graphics drivers. Check our Technical References page for proper and official download links.
2. Turn off SLI / Crossfire then start the game. See if it stabilizes Endless Space performance.
3. Turn off your anti-virus software before launching the Endless Space, but make sure you turn it back on after playing. Make sure Windows Defender is also disabled.
4. Try using only one GPU first (turn the other one off via your nVidia / ATI graphics control panel)
5. Try running the game in Windowed Mode (frequently works for low-end PCs)
6. Disable anti-aliasing and filtering, restart Endless Space
7. Disable V-sync, restart Endless Space
8. Disable background apps, and turn off your anti-virus software
9. In Windows 7 right-click the Endless Space exe file, go to the ‘Compatibility Mode’ tab and check ‘Disable Desktop Composition’
10. Run through our list of general fixes, which will most likely resolve your Endless Space crash problems

Problem #2 Endless Space Crash Fix – Endless Space Crashes right after pressing the ‘Play’ button

In Windows 7 go the Endless Space installation folder, right-click the Endless Space exe file, go to the ‘Compatibility Mode’ tab and check ‘Disable Desktop Composition.’ Then try running Endless Space once more.

Problem #3 Endless Space Launch Crash Fix – Endless Space “Could not load image”

Go to the Endless Space installation folder and look for the Endless Space .exe file and run it directly from there, rather than using the shortcut or client link.

Problem #4 Endless Space Crash Fix – Endless Space Crashes on Intel HD Graphics Card

Simply do a clean uninstall and reinstall of your Intel Graphics Driver. Check our Technical References page for proper and official downloads.

Problem #5 Endless Space Texture Fix – Bad Textures, Texture Breaks, Texture Glitch on gaming laptop

This is only for gaming laptops, but could work for some PCs. Note that this is an advanced solution, and only try this if other basic solutions such as disabling anti-aliasing and filtering failed for you. If your BIOS has the option, disable ‘Switchable Graphics’. This will remove your laptop PC’s ability to automatically switch between the onboard intel graphics card and the nVidia / ATI graphics chip, thus smoothening out gameplay.

Problem #6 Endless Space Crash Fix – For Quad Core and Multi-Core PCs

If you’re on Quad Core, try this fix to address any crash issues:

1. Start the game
2. Alt+Tab Out of the game
3. Open Task Manager
4. Right click on Endless Space.exe
5. Set Affinity
6. Select core 0 and 1 only. You need to run the game on two CPU’s basically, so to avoid the crash to desktop.

Problem #7 Endless Space Controller Fix – Xbox 360 or Other Controller Doesn’t Work

There are two known possible solutions as of writing for this controller bug:

1. Manually download and install any Endless Space game patch from the official source instead rather than automatically
