Summoners War Performance Issues: How to Fix Crashing, Freezing, and FPS Drops

Are you facing performance issues like crashing, freezing, and lagging in Summoners War? Here’s everything you can try to fix them.

While the game is new and poorly optimized, there are some things you can try to improve FPS and game stability.

It’s important to remember that the game was recently released, and the best solution would be to get a patch from the developers to optimize everything. However, until this patch arrives, we’ll go through all the available options.

How to Fix Performance Issues and Crashes in Summoners War

How to fix performance issues in Summoners War.

Without further delay, let’s go through all the possible solutions you can try to fix performance issues, crashing on launch, lagging, FPS drops, freezing, stuttering, and more in Summoners War.

Update GPU Drivers

The most straightforward fix with any new game release is to check for a new update for your GPU Drivers.

Check your GPU’s software (Nvidia or AMD) for updates. These can be downloaded and installed within a few minutes and usually help improve performance.

Verify the Integrity of Game Files

Another possible way to fix crashing and performance issues in Summoners War is to check for an issue with the game files. Find the game on your Steam Library, right-click on it, and select ‘Properties’.

Navigate to the ‘Installed Files’ tab on the left and select ‘Verify integrity of game files’. Lastly, wait a few minutes until it’s completed, and try relaunching the game.

Close Background Apps

While the game has low system requirements, and you can play it on almost any system, closing background apps can help, especially if you have a system with low RAM (8 GB).

Change Language to English

While it may sound odd, changing the Windows language to English has helped many users with crashing issues, as mentioned in a recent Steam discussion.

From the Windows settings (default hotkey Windows key + I), select Time & Language, then Language, and change the Windows Display Language to English.

Reinstall the Game

Another thing to try is reinstalling the game while ensuring you’ve deleted everything. Start by accessing the game’s local files and save a copy of your current save file. Then, delete everything and uninstall the game from Steam.

Also, delete the ‘SummonersWar’ folder from the following path:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\

Now install the game again and copy-paste the save folder inside the files.

Wait for an Optimization Update

Lastly, as mentioned in the intro, if everything else fails, the only thing left to do is wait and hope for an optimization update. The game has extremely poor optimization, and many users with top-end systems are facing performance issues.

Wrapping up

To summarize, you can try and fix performance issues in Summoners War by updating GPU drivers, verifying the integrity of game files on Steam, closing background apps, and reinstalling the game.

Just keep in mind that the game is fairly new, and many players are having optimization issues. Due to that, some issues might remain after trying everything, and your best bet is to wait for an optimization update from the devs.
