Project wingman ошибка

2020 has been a great year for simulated flight games with a range of them releasing around the fall and the year comes to an end with the launch of Project Wingman. Players who enjoy aerial combat would enjoy this game with Very Positive review on Steam. The game is also mostly bug-free except a few crashes and the UE4 Project Wingman Fatal error. Some players have also been complaining of the Project Wingman crash at startup. Stick around with us and we will help you resolve both the errors in the game.

The Project Wingman UE4 Fatal Error message appears as, “The UE4-ProjectWingman game has crashed… Fatal Error!” The error is related to the Unreal Engine 4 that the game uses and is quite common error. The main reason the error occurs is when there is a problem with the graphics card.

The first thing you should do to fix the error is update the graphics card drivers. If the driver software of your graphics card is outdated, it can lead to the error. Other reasons you may be seeing the UE4 fatal error in Project Wingman is when the graphics card becomes too stressed. Ensure that you meet the minimum specifications to play the game. If your GPU is failing to render the game, it can lead to the error.

Other causes of the GPU or CPU overstressing is overclocking. In our experience, the most common reasons when the UE4 fatal error occurs is when the user has overclocked the GPU using software such as MSI Afterburner. Disable the software before launching the game and revert overclocking. Sometimes GeForce Experience can also cause the same problem. Disable any and all software on your system that might be interfering with the game, this includes the Windows Game Bar and it could solve the error. Ideally, perform a clean boot with all unnecessary software disabled and then launch the game.

Factory overclocking or the overclocking caused during turbo mode can also cause the error as the graphics card becomes stressed. Go to BIOS and ensure that the clock speed is set to default.      

Finally, if none of the above solutions have worked for you, limiting the FPS of the game can do the trick. A fluctuating FPS is also known to cause the Project Wingman UE4 fatal error. You can limit the FPS of the game from the NVIDIA control panel. Ideally, you should set it to 60 FPS, but we recommend that you start with 30 FPS and increase as you monitor the GPU’s stress and the game’s performance. 

These are all the fixes you can try to resolve the error. If you have a better solution share them in the comments.

Fix Project Wingman Crash at Startup

One of the most difficult problem to resolve with a game is crashing at startup because it can be caused by several reasons, but often the primary culprit is a third-party software. Assuming your system and drivers are updated, the first solution you must try is to disable all third-party software as we advised above. Here are the steps you can follow to achieve it.

1. Press Windows Key + R and type msconfig, hit Enter
2. Go to the Services tab
3. Check Hide all Microsoft services
4. Now, click Disable all
5. Go to the Startup tab and click on Open Task Manager
6. Disable one task at a time and restart the system.
7. Try launching the game, check if the error still occurs.

If a third-party software is not the cause of Project Wingman crash at startup, it could mean that the game files are corrupted, which can happen during the installation process. You can repair the corrupt files using the Verify Integrity of Game Files feature of Steam. Follow the below process.

1. Launch the Steam client
2. From the LIBRARY, right-click on Project Wingman and select Properties
3. Go to LOCAL FILES and click on VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME FILES…

If the error still occurs, check your antivirus software or the Windows Defender and ensure that it’s not blocking the game folders. When the game is blocked by the antivirus, it may fail to execute certain processes, which can lead to the error.

Disable the Steam Overlay as it’s known to cause crash with games. Here is how you can disable the overlay – Launch Steam client. Click on Library and right-click on Baldur’s Gate 3. Select Properties and uncheck Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game.

Finally, if nothing has worked to fix the Project Wingman crash at startup, tune down the game settings from the .ini file located at the install directory and attempt to launch the game. Also, ensure that you have the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable installed.

Hope the above guide has been helpful. If you have a better solution, you can share them in the comments.

Project Wingman is a flight action game from Sector D2 and Humble Games. It is inspired by the Ace Combat series and is set in an alternate Earth that was afflicted by a worldwide cataclysm. It is now available on PC through Steam. For the most part, it runs very well, but if you are running into the Project Wingman Fatal Error, here is how you can fix it.

This is a VR title and supports both VR and non-VR modes. It also features over 20 different aircraft and over 40 unique weapons with a single-player campaign. Since its launch, players have given it a Very Positive rating according to Steam.

Project Wingman Fatal Error and how to fix it

A Fatal Error in any game is usually due to some outdated or corrupted driver. The fix is relatively simple, and for most users, it only requires the usual GPU update.

Multiple users on the Steam forums for the game have confirmed that after updating their NVIDIA or AMD drivers, they were able to bypass the fatal error.

Update your GPU Drivers

Simply update your drivers either through your GPU’s software compoenent, or download directly from the website

• AMD Drivers Update Page
• NVIDIA Drivers Update Page
• Intel Drivers

After you install the latest drivers, the fatal error should go away. If not, it’s best to update your Windows as well. We also recommend clean-installing drivers to make sure everything is installed properly.

Fatal errors are pretty common in Unreal Engine 4 games, but these give a good idea of what’s actually the problem, and what the ideal solution is.

If you are a fan of games with flight combat, this sure seems like a good one. The VR support is an added bonus, and would most likely increase immersion by a lot.

The game is available for the Microsoft Windows platform only as of now and it seems that the graphics quality is really great according to the very positive reviews on Steam. However, none of the games come with a bug-free experience and so this game also. Now, if you’re also experiencing Project Wingman crashing at startup, won’t launch, or lags with FPS drops issue on your PC then check out this troubleshooting guide to fix it.

This is quite expected for a newly launched video game but if you’re encountering the mentioned problems a lot on a random basis then it’s highly recommended to not ruin your gaming experience for weeks or months. As not all the bugs or errors come from the developer’s end, some of the issues can also happen from the player’s end which can be fixed very easily by following some of the possible workarounds below.

Why Does Project Wingman Keep Crashing?

Before heading over to the fixing guide, it’s necessary to know which possible things can be the reason behind the startup crashing issue. As in most cases, startup crashing may occur from the system of your PC. So, let’s take a quick look at it.

• Maybe your PC configuration isn’t compatible with the system requirements of the game. For further queries, you can check the ‘Project Wingman’ system requirements below.

9. Set Default CPU and Graphics Speed

As most of the users always want to use ultra-high performance from the CPU and GPU from the very first day. So, most of the users either buy an overclocked version or manually increased the overclocking speed. So, if you’ve also overclocked your GPU speed and after doing that you’re experiencing bottleneck or lagging or crashing related issues, just set it to default mode.

You can also use the MSI Afterburner tool or Zotac firestorm application in order to lower the clocking speed. Once done, you can run the Project Wingman game to check whether it’s crashing at startup or not.
