total war warhammer crashing on loading screen

W:TW is working now. AOTS is still crashing, though. Man, can't believe I forgot about verifying the cache integrity! I've done that for both games now.

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth īoth commands will take some time to complete Once finished, restart the computer, verify your game cache on Steam again, and try again.

Open up another Command Prompt as Administrator, then type the following: This process will take some time to complete. You can type the commands one after the other without rebooting, and they will each be run when Windows is restarted. If you have multiple drives and Steam or your games are on a different one, also run the same command on each, substituting C: with their drive letters. Say Y and hit enter on any questions it asks, then reboot. In Windows, open up a Command Prompt as Administrator, then type the following: If there are any errors, you'll need to remove RAM modules and test individually to determine which is the faulty one.

Run Memtest86 for at least two full passes It'll take a while. Try running DiskCheckup's SMART diagnostics - First short, then extended (which will take a while) - for each drive in your system. If it errors, then that's definitely the issue, and you'll be needing a new hard drive. First though, have you tried verifying the game cache on Steam? If so, or if it doesn't fix anything, move on. Thanks for reading, looking forward to replies!Įverything I can pull up on the error code given, c000009c, points to a possible hard drive problem. I'll just say it crashes in-game, a few seconds in, on any mode.

Unfortunaltey nothing seems to show up in the Event Viewer for AOTS when it crashes, so I don't expect to get much help for that. Warhammer: Total War crashes whenever I try to load a game a few seconds in to the loading screen, whether from the cloud or local drive, or manual or auto save. This only started happening a few days ago, I was able to play them fine until then. So I've been unable to play two of my favourite games recently due to them crashing. So first of all thanks coming here and checking out my problem.
