Fix Gamble With Your Friends Crashing - PC Troubleshooting

It is frustrating when you are mid-round with your friends and the game suddenly dumps you to your desktop. This usually happens because your game files have become corrupted or your system is struggling to communicate with your graphics hardware.

Why this happens

Crashes usually stem from corrupted local game data or the game being denied the system permissions it needs to run properly. In some cases, an outdated graphics driver will force the game to close during high-intensity moments.

Steps

1. 01
   Open Steam and go to your Library, right-click 'Gamble With Your Friends', and select Properties.
2. 02
   Navigate to the 'Installed Files' tab and click 'Verify integrity of game files' to scan for and replace any broken game data.
3. 03
   Completely exit Steam by right-clicking the icon in your system tray and selecting 'Exit'.
4. 04
   Search for 'Steam' in your start menu, right-click it, and select 'Open file location'.
5. 05
   Right-click the Steam shortcut, go to 'Properties', then the 'Compatibility' tab, and check the box for 'Run this program as an administrator'.
6. 06
   Right-click your Start button, open 'Device Manager', and expand the 'Display adapters' section.
7. 07
   Right-click your graphics card, select 'Update driver', and choose 'Search automatically for drivers' before restarting your PC.

Still not working?

If the game still crashes, check your Windows Event Viewer under 'Windows Logs' > 'Application' to see if there is an 'Error' entry for the game at the time of the crash. If you see 'd3d11.dll' errors, your DirectX installation may be corrupted and require a clean reinstall of your graphics drivers using DDU.

Frequently asked questions

Will verifying game files delete my progress?

No, verifying game files only checks for corrupted files in the game installation and replaces them with clean versions. Your save data and account progress are stored separately and will remain intact.

Does running Steam as an administrator pose a security risk?

While it grants the game higher-level access to your system to ensure it can load assets without permission blocks, you should only do this for trusted applications from your Steam library.
