Manor Lordsis one of the better Unreal Engine 5 games when it comes to overall performance and stability. It has all the bells and whistles of a modern strategy title with multiple upscalers available to players to maximize performance and visuals. However, this is still an early access title, and with each major update, there are bound to be a few things that break. If Manor Lords is crashing for you at launch, here are a few things you can do to fix that.
Fixing the Manor Lords Crash at Launch Issue
As of Patch 4, Manor Lords can be flagged incorrectly by third-party antivirus software as a threat. This leads to a crash when the game is launched.
To fix this, add the Manor Lords installation folder to your anti-virus exceptions/exclusions list. This issue is especially common if you’re using the Avast anti-virus. In the case of some antivirus programs, you’re able to simply mark the quarantined file (theManorLords-Win64-Shipping.exeexecutable, in this case) as trustworthy or safe, which should resolve the issue.
You can access the main installation folder through Steam.
Once you have added the folder to the list of exclusions, verify the game files to download anything potentially deleted or quarantined by the antivirus.
After you’re done, Manor Lords should launch without a hitch. This particular solution is for players who didn’t have the problem before the recent patch.
