Outdated graphic drivers are one of the main reasons why your game is crashing or won’t start, so the next step is to update your graphics drivers. To do so:

 – Right-click on the “Start Menu” and open the “Quick Access Menu”

– Click on “Device Manager”

– Next, double-click on the Display adapters

– Right-click on the dedicated graphics card name

– If the update is available, it will start downloading and install the latest version automatically 

– Lastly, reboot your PC and check the crashing and won’t launch should be fixed now

3. Verify the Integrity of Game Files

Any missing or corrupted game files can also be one of the reasons why you are not able to access the game properly. Try verifying the integrity of game files and check if that helps.

– Open up the Steam client and go to the game library

– Right-click on the Paragon The Overprime and go to its Properties

– Click on Local Files and then click on “Verify integrity of game files”

– Once done, relaunch the game, and the issue should be fixed.

4. Disable Antivirus and Firewall Program

If you have installed any antivirus and firewall programs in your system to prevent your system from viruses, sometimes, it can cause multiple issues. If that is the case, disable or remove the antivirus and/or firewall program from your system and check if that works to resolve the crashing and won’t start issues.

5. Close All Background Processes

Multiple tasks and applications running in the background can use many resources that possibly trigger game crashing issues. We recommend closing them down one by one by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Esc and going to Task Manager. 

6. Running the Game as Administrator:

Sometimes, it is mandatory to run the game as an administrator so that the game can run smoothly. To do that:

– Go to the folder where the game is saved on your PC and right-click on the Paragon the Overprime.exe file.

– Next, select Properties > Click on the Compatibility tab.

– Click on Run this program as an administrator.

– Lastly, click on Apply and select Ok to apply changes.

Some gamers have already fixed the crashing, won’t start, and not launching issues simply by disabling apps from the Steam client. To do this:

– Open Steam

– Click on Steam found on the upper left side of the client

– Click on Settings

– Click on ‘In-Game’

– Uncheck Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game box

– Click on ‘Ok’

9. Performing a Clean Boot

Performing a clean boot is also one of the best solutions to resolve the matter. Here are the steps to follow:

– Press the Win + R keys to open up the Run dialogue box and type MSConfig and then press Enter

– From the General tab, uncheck load startup items

– Go to the Services tab

– Check to Hide all Microsoft services

– Click on “Disable all”

– Lastly hit Apply and then Ok

10. Reinstall the Game
