If you’re currently in the same boat, don’t worry, as we’ll walk you through a handful of methods that will help fix crashing and stuttering in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

How to fix Indiana Jones and the Great Circle crashing or stuttering on PC

Here are some methods you can try to eliminate crashing and stuttering problems in the game.

Step

1

Verify the game files

In some cases, the game can start crashing if any of its files are missing or corrupt. This can happen either right after downloading the game or few minutes of gameplay. In any case, a player on the Steam Community Forum claimed they were able to fix the crashing issue by verifying the game files, and we’ll let you know how you can do that.

  • Launch Steam.
  • Go to your Game Library.
  • Find and right-click on Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
  • Click on ‘Properties.
  • Go to Installed Files.
  • Select ‘Verify integrity of game files.’

2

Lower the graphics settings

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a very demanding game, and you’ll need powerful hardware to run the game smoothly with the graphics settings maxed out. However, if you try to run the game on settings higher than what your GPU can handle, the game will constantly crash. One player with an RTX 4080 confirmed that their game was crashing on ‘Superior’ settings, but the issue went away after they lowered to ‘Very Ultra.’

Step

3

Turn Frame Generation off

As discussed above, the game is pretty demanding, and you might be relying on Frame Generation or something similar to improve the number of FPS you’re getting. While these features are pretty helpful, they can sometimes start causing different issues, including stuttering. So, if Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is currently stuttering on your PC and the problem is not going away on its own, try turning Frame Generation off to see if that fixes the issue

Step

4

Update your graphics drivers

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a new game, so you need the latest GPU drivers for smooth performance. Trying to run the game on outdated drivers will only cause issues, including crashing and stuttering.

Intel, AMD, and Nvidia release new GPU drivers from time to time, and if you haven’t updated them in a while, now would be the right time to do so. You can either head over to the official website of your GPU’s manufacturer or use the dedicated application of your graphics card to download the latest version.

Step

5

Check for overheating

Overheating can also cause stuttering and crashing in the game. This happens when the temperature of your components goes above the safe limits. For this, we recommend using a tool like HWiNFO and monitoring the temps while playing the game. If you notice they are too high, turn off the PC and take steps to fix this, such as cleaning your PC and replacing the thermal paste of your CPU and GPU.
