Pubg Pc Crashing To Desktop Players Say Wellbia Anti Cheat Is To Blame

PUBG PC is one of those games that completely redefined multiplayer games in the last few years. Ever since its release in 2017, the Battle Royale title has managed to stay in the spotlight for all sorts of reasons.

Developed by PUBG Studios, the game recently went free-to-play on Steam. But players still need to purchase Battlegrounds Plus if they want to play ranked games.

But soon after the game went free to play, many complained about packet loss issues in NA and EMEA servers.

That said, PUBG PC players are now saying that the game is crashing to desktop or blank screen randomly without any error message (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10).

While many are blaming the Wellbia anti-cheat, others say the game is infested by a memory leak issue. Generic troubleshooting steps such as verifying files on Steam and reinstalling the game haven’t helped the course.

Below are a few reports from PUBG PC players for whom the game has been crashing constantly in the last couple of days.

With the game crashing for many for almost a month now, PUBG players are wondering if and when the issue will be fixed. Unfortunately, the developers are yet to officially acknowledge the problem.

That said, we came across a couple of workarounds that seem to be helping with the crashing and memory leak issues.

In case PUBG PC is eating up all your RAM, download ISLC and set it to clear a portion of the memory every few minutes as this is known to be helping some.

For those affected by the crashing problem, players say denying Wellbia Anti-cheat when you get a Windows prompt and killing the zakinthos process helped to some extent.

We hope the PUBG PC developers soon address the crashing issue since it is preventing both players and streamers from playing the game.

As always, we will be keeping an eye out for more information and update this article when the issue is fixed so stay tuned.
