So, the first thing you need to check is your hardware. Make sure it fully matches Wolfenstein requirements: The New Order:
- 64-bit OS Windows 7/Windows 8;
- CPU Intel Core i7 or equivalent from AMD;
- 4 GB of RAM;
- 50 GB hard disk space;
- graphics GeForce 460, ATI Radeon HD 6850;
- Steam account; (for license)
As you can see, the requirements are not low, so the game may not start or crash precisely because of them. If you have a cool computer, then check the availability of the most latest drivers for the video card - firewood from AMD and Nvidia. Follow the links, enter your model, download and follow the instructions. If this does not help, then check or update DirectX - it is also free.
Low FPS
If Wolfenstein: The New Order has low FPS, then this error mainly occurs in video cards from AMD. To resolve this issue, you can update the Catalyst application to the latest version. The driver is downloaded from the official website of the video cards of this manufacturer.
Artifacts appear, textures disappear
If textures disappear in Nvidia chips or artifacts appear, then go to the Nvidia control panel and there find the “Manage 3D parameters” item, then go to the “Global settings” tab and disable triple buffering.
White screen
Also, some users experience White screen right after. Go into the game and in the settings disable vertical sync, and at the same time disable SLI/CrossFire mode. Game performance should improve on weaker computers.
Wolfenstein: The New Order won't launch on Windows 8

We will tell you what to do if problems appear in Wolfenstein 2.
The first step is to make sure that your PC fully meets the requirements of the toy.

- You must have at least 55 GB of hard drive space.
Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus won't launch - what to do
The first problem that many users encounter is the inability to start the game. In this case, after installation, its shortcut on the desktop does not respond to clicks. The first thing you can do is check that the installation is correct. After all, this is one of the main causes of problems. You also need to make sure that all game files were installed successfully. If all of the above is OK, it's worth taking a look at your antivirus. Some of them block or completely delete files that they consider suspicious. So for a normal installation, you should turn off your antivirus before installation.
But this is not the only problem that leads to the game not even wanting to turn on. Sometimes the shooter will not launch due to cache violations in Steam. If everything is fine there, try running the shooter as an administrator.
If the game keeps crashing during startup or Wolfenstein 2 won't start, then your PC is not able to fully process all the game files. You should free up RAM by closing all programs that you are not using while playing. Also lower graphics settings.
If Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus cannot be installed, you need to check your Internet connection. Also, from time to time problems arise in Steam, so it’s worth restarting the service. Keep in mind that the game weighs 50 GB, so you need to leave enough memory for it to load normally. Otherwise, the installation will be impossible. It is best to leave a few more gigabytes so that the game functions properly.
If Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus is having trouble with a black screen appearing during startup, there are a few options you might want to try. First, see if you have turned off the overlay in the settings menu. To do this, you need to go to the service in Steam and check required settings. The second option is to download and install new drivers for the video card. After all, a black screen most often indicates that it is worth upgrading your video card.
Another common problem in the game was the inability to use full-screen mode. It may freeze during the opening process or not respond at all to attempts to install it. In order to fix the problem, you need to go to the graphics settings and turn off the menu item called Async Compute. This should save you from further difficulties.
If Wolfenstein 2 crashes after you change the resolution settings, you need to check what video card you are using. If it is Nvidia, then you should download and install a new driver. It will have a version number of 388.00 or 388.10. Users who have tried this advice are already saying that their problems have gone away.
In the case where Wolfenstein 2 constantly freezes during loading or during the game, when the characters slow down and their movements completely stop responding to your controls, you should disable the Async Compute option. Also, if the toy freezes, you can try restarting Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus.
If you are worried about low performance or FPS, although your computer meets all the requirements and can easily provide you with sufficient performance, you need to use one of the tips. First: update graphics drivers. Second: make sure the PC is not in power saving mode. If that doesn't help, try restarting the shooter on a discrete video card.
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus has problems due to high computer hardware requirements. To improve performance, you can try lowering all graphics settings, removing effects that you consider unnecessary, turning off all processes that you will not use in the near future: browser, downloads and other programs. If you have Windows 10 installed on your PC, you should activate Game Mode- it optimizes the system just for the running shooter. To do this, you need to enter the game and press the Win+G combination and select desired mode in the pop-up menu.
Control problems in Wolfenstein 2 are also nothing new. Especially if you connected both a keyboard and a gamepad to play the game. To make the control work again, you should disconnect one of the devices. Also keep in mind that the shooter does not support all gamepads. It's best if the controller has the same layout as the XBox. And you need to configure it in a shooter.
Some players are complaining that Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus does not have Russian language. In order for it to be there, it is necessary: firstly, to purchase the Russified version. You can also change the language in the settings menu. If still nothing works, you should check the cache - not all files may be in place. Also keep in mind that the shooter is fully translated officially, so download from the Internet strange files not worth it.
Wolfenstein 2 may also have problems with sound. In order to solve them, you need to check your speakers or headphones - sometimes they are the problem. If they are ok, then update the driver for the sound card or for the video card if sound card integrated there.
Sometimes Wolfenstein 2 won't launch due to a problem in the DLL. In order to solve it, you just need to download and install DLL-fixer.
