Do you play Myth of Empires? If so, you may encounter Myth of Empires not launching, crashing, freezing, black screen, and low FPS issues. This post from Partition Magic offers you the solutions.

Myth of Empires is a multiplayer war sandbox game officially released on Feb. 22, 2024, but its early access release date is Nov. 18, 2021. It gets mostly positive reviews on Steam.

A lot of people play this game, but some of them report that they have encountered the Myth of Empires not launching, crashing, freezing, black screen, and low FPS issues. If you are also facing the same issues, try the following ways to get rid of them.

Way 1. Restart the PC and the Game

Some people say that the Myth of Empires low FPS issue disappears without reason after they start the game again. Therefore, you can try restarting the PC and the game to see if your issue is solved.

Way 2. Make Sure Your PC Has Enough Resources to Run This Game

First, you should make sure your PC meets the minimum requirements of the game.

  • OS: Windows 7/8.1/10 64-bit
  • CPU: Intel Core i5-4430 / AMD FX-6300
  • RAM: 8 GB
  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 2GB / AMD Radeon R7 370 2GB
  • DirectX: Version 11
  • Network: Broadband Internet connection
  • Storage: 85 GB available space

If your computer can’t meet these requirements, the Myth of Empires not launching issue will occur. Then, you need to upgrade the hardware. 

Tips:
1. If the RAM is not enough, you can upgrade the RAM or increase the virtual memory.
2. This game requires space of up to 85 GB. If your game drive doesn’t have enough space, you may need to extend it. Then, MiniTool Partition Wizard can help you.

  2. On the Process tab, you can end the unnecessary programs.
  3. On the Details tab, right-click on the game process and set its priority to High.

Way 3. Make Sure There Is No Hardware Issue

You should make sure the CPU, GPU, and hard drive can work normally. In addition, make sure the CPU temp and GPU temp are not very high. If the computer is overheating, the Myth of Empires crashing issue will occur and the computer may even shut down when you run the game.

Tips:
If you have overclocked the CPU or GPU, I recommend you turn off it. If you have enabled XMP to overclock the RAM, disable it. Disabling hardware overclocking can relieve overheating issues and make hardware work normally.

Way 4. Pay Attention to These Computer Settings

Improper Windows settings may also cause the Myth of Empires freezing or crashing issue. Therefore, you need to make sure your Windows settings are OK, especially the following settings:

  • Set the computer power plan to High Performance.
  • Turn on Game Mode.
  • Make sure Myth of Empires can go through the firewall.
  • Make sure the Windows system and the GPU driver are up to date.

Way 5. Launch the Game in Another Way

Some people report that the Myth of Empires black screen or not launching issue can be solved by launching the game in another way. For example, you can run it as administrator and put it in the compatibility mode.

Tips:
How to find the game app? You need to open the game folder file from Steam by going to the Properties. Go to Installed Files and press Browse. The game folder will open. Some people also recommend you go there to open start_protected_game.
