If TERA PC 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 TERA PC performance.
3. Turn off your anti-virus software before launching the TERA PC, 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 TERA PC
7. Disable V-sync, restart TERA PC
8. Disable background apps, and turn off your anti-virus software
9. In Windows 7 right-click the TERA PC exe file, go to the ‘Compatibility Mode’ tab and check ‘Disable Desktop Composition’
