Chivalry 2 is a medieval multiplayer game that immediately captured the attention of many fans of the genre. Overall, the developers managed to accomplish everything they set out to do. The spectacular and large-scale battles have attracted a large number of players. 

However, even after a year of alpha and beta tests, Chivalry 2 still has numerous bugs. They all hinder the full enjoyment of the game, so it's worth using proven solutions that can help resolve most technical issues.

What Are the System Requirements for Chivalry 2

Naturally, for smooth gameplay, your computer should at least meet the minimum requirements. Test results have confirmed that the official data is almost entirely accurate. For playing in 1080p at 30FPS, the requirements are as follows:

• Processor - Intel Core i3-4370.
• Graphics Card - AMD Radeon HD 7870 or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660.
• RAM - at least 8 GB.

For playing in 1080p at 60FPS:

• Processor - Intel Core i3-6700.
• Graphics Card - AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070.
• RAM - at least 16 GB.

For playing in 1440p at 30FPS:

• Processor - Intel Core i5-7400.
• Graphics Card - AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti.
• RAM - at least 16 GB.

For playing in 1440p at 60FPS:

• Processor - Intel Core i3-8100.
• Graphics Card - AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT or NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070.
• RAM - at least 16 GB.

However, meeting the minimum requirements is not always enough. Chivalry 2 often freezes and fails to launch due to other reasons. It's important to remember that playing on Windows 7 is not possible. You need an operating system no older than Windows 10, and it must be 64-bit.

If Chivalry 2 Doesn't Launch or Freezes on Startup

In such cases, it is recommended to ensure the integrity of all game files. You can do this in the following way:

• Launch the Epic Games Launcher and go to the Library section.
• Find the game title, select "Verify," start the process, and wait for the results.

"Insufficient Memory" Error

It's quite clear. Your computer does not have enough RAM. The amount of RAM should be at least 8 GB. There are no other ways to solve this problem. Additionally, to prevent the game from freezing, you should close all browsers and unnecessary applications before launching it.

The Game Keeps Crashing

In such cases, there are several actions you can take:

• Check which programs are running in the background and disable them.
• If there are no changes, scan your computer with an antivirus program.
• If that doesn't help either, you will need to try uninstalling Chivalry 2 completely and reinstalling it.

Unable to Change Resolution in the Game

This problem may occur if screen scaling is disabled in the operating system. You can solve it as follows:

• Go to the game folder and find the file named Chivalry 2-Win64-Shipping.exe.
• Next, go to Properties and navigate to the "Compatibility" tab.
• Click "Change high DPI settings" and select "Application" in the "Override high DPI scaling behavior" option.

System Errors

When launching the game, the following errors may appear:

• 0xc0000001/0xc0000005. Indicates problems with the system files of the operating system. It's likely that some of them are corrupted. In such cases, the only solution is to restore or reinstall Windows. To check the files and attempt to repair them, open the command prompt and enter sfc/scannow.
• 0xc0000007b. In this case, you will need to update or reinstall the graphics card drivers. It's better to reinstall Chivalry 2 after doing so.

Chivalry 2 Freezes, Lags, Low FPS

The first thing you should do is check if your computer meets the recommended minimum system requirements. If there are no issues with that, try updating the graphics card drivers. To do this, you will need to visit the manufacturer's website. Depending on the graphics card model, follow these steps:

• NVIDIA GeForce. The driver selection will be done automatically on the website. Just perform the search and download. When the file is downloaded, run it and follow the instructions.
• AMD Radeon. Scroll up on the website to "Search for your product." Select your graphics card in the Graphics section. Then specify your operating system version and start downloading the file. After that, simply install the video driver.

After updating the video driver, be sure to restart your computer.

In addition, you should try enabling high performance for the graphics card. Again, this depends on the type of graphics card you have. For NVIDIA GeForce card owners, do the following:

• Right-click and select "NVIDIA Control Panel."
• A list will be displayed on the left. Choose "Manage 3D settings."
• Go to "Program Settings" and find Chivalry 2 in the "Select a program to customize" section.
• A list will appear. Locate "Power management mode" and change its value to "Prefer maximum performance."

For owners of AMD Radeon graphics cards, follow these steps:

• Right-click and open "Radeon Settings."
• Find the "System" section and navigate to it.
• Next, locate the "Switchable Graphics" option and set it as the primary graphics card with maximum performance. Click "Accept."

Graphics Settings in Chivalry 2 and Increasing FPS

If you have a low-spec computer and want to play Chivalry 2, you need the following settings:

• Fullscreen mode.
• Disabled vertical sync and frame rate smoothing.
• Uncapped frame rate.
• View distance, shadow quality, effects quality, and post-processing quality set to low.
• Texture quality and motion blur set to medium.
• Disable environmental quality and surrounding corpses. Set corpse lifespan and blood decals to 0.0.

Clicking and Crackling Sound in Chivalry 2

If you experience sound issues, do the following:

• Open "Control Panel."
• Go to "Hardware and Sound" and access the settings.
• Find the default audio device and check its properties.
• In the "Advanced" tab, select the format "24 bit, 48000 Hz."

If the problem persists, try lowering the value to "16 bit, 44100 Hz."

The Game Constantly Crashes and Stops Working

This could be due to excessive overheating of the graphics card. Check the cooling system of the graphics card immediately. If no issues are found, open the MSI Afterburner application and reset the overclocking by clicking the Reset button.

Joystick Not Working in Chivalry 2

First, go to "Device Manager," remove the joystick, and restart your computer. If nothing changes, you can try configuring it in Steam. Manually set the Xbox Controller mode there. If that still doesn't work, try connecting the joystick using a wired connection. If the problem persists, disconnect all other gamepads.

Missing Xinput1_4.dll File

In this case, go to the System32 folder. Search for the Xinput1_3.dll file and copy it to the root folder of Chivalry 2. Rename it to Xinput1_4.dll.

All of these steps will help you resolve most errors and issues that arise when launching Chivalry 2, allowing you to fully enjoy the game.
