FAQ
My game crashes after changing the graphic options
  • Solution n°1:
    When you see the prompt suggesting to use the last working configuration, answer "No”. The game should then use the right options.

  • Solution n°2:
    Change the graphic options one by one. Do not change the Shader Quality and Terrain Resolution settings.

  • Solution n°3:
    This can happen when the game is set in "Fullscreen". You can change these settings in the Option.ini file located in C:\Users\USERNAME\Saved Games\EugenSystems\SteelDivision
    Open the .ini file, and change the value WindowFormStyle = 1 to WindowFormStyle = 2. Save the file and start the game again.

My game doesn't launch (error 0xc000007b)
If your game does not start, download all Windows Updates for your computer. Follow this procedure.

If you are under Windows 7, you may have to:



    • if you already have Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x64), uninstall it and install it again properly (making sure to take the x64 version) from here.


I have two graphic cards in SLI/Crossfire, and I'm having problems running the game.
Try to deactivate the SLI configuration. On Nvidia cards, go to the Nvidia Control Panel, and click on "Do not use SLI technology" in the "3D settings" menu. On AMD cards, you can configure the Crossfire for Steel Division following this process. Once deactivated, delete your "Option.ini" file located in C:\users\<your_username>\Saved Games\EugenSystems\SteelDivision.

My game doesn't run properly on my AMD card
Try to deactivate or uninstall the Raptr Gaming Evolved software.
Some configurations may need to revert to AMD's 16.xx driver series, if the game doesn't start under 17.xx drivers.
