Fix WWE 2K25 Not Launching On PC

 Basic Troubleshooting:

• System Requirements:
  • First and foremost, ensure your PC meets the game's minimum or recommended system requirements. Pay close attention to CPU, GPU, and RAM. A common issue with newer titles is that they require newer CPU instruction sets, like AVX2. So be sure to check those requirements.
• Restart Your PC:
  • A simple restart can often resolve temporary software glitches.
• Verify Game Files:
  • If you're using Steam, verify the integrity of the game files. This checks for and replaces any corrupted or missing files.
    • Right-click WWE 2K25 in your Steam Library.
    • Select "Properties."
    • Go to the "Local Files" tab.
    • Click "Verify integrity of game files."
• Run as Administrator:
  • Running the game as an administrator can bypass permission issues.
    • Right-click the WWE 2K25 executable file.
    • Select "Run as administrator."

Software Solutions:

• Update Graphics Drivers:
  • Outdated graphics drivers are a common cause of game launch issues.
    • Visit your graphics card manufacturer's website (NVIDIA or AMD) and download the latest drivers.
• Update Windows:
  • Ensure your Windows operating system is up to date.
    • Go to "Settings" > "Update & Security" > "Windows Update" and check for updates. ¹

• Antivirus and Firewall:
  • Antivirus or firewall software can sometimes interfere with game launches.
    • Temporarily disable your antivirus or firewall, or add WWE 2K25 to their exceptions list.
• Disable Steam Overlay:
  • The Steam Overlay can sometimes cause conflicts.
    • In Steam, right-click WWE 2K25, select "Properties," and uncheck "Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game."
• Reinstall Visual C++ Redistributables:
  • Game often rely on these. Corrupted or missing redistributables can cause launch problems.
    • Search for and download the latest Visual C++ Redistributable packages from Microsoft's website.
• Check for Conflicting Software:
  • Close any unnecessary background applications that could be conflicting with the game.
• Reinstall the Game:
  • If all else fails, try uninstalling and reinstalling WWE 2K25.
• Check for driver conflicts:
  • In device manager, look for any devices that have yellow exclamation points next to them. This indicates that a driver is not working correctly.

Important Notes:

• Pay close attention to any error messages that appear. They can provide valuable clues about the cause of the problem.
• Be aware that some users are reporting issues related to the game not working with older CPU's that do not support AVX2 instruction sets. So if you have an older CPU, that could be the problem.
• Check online forums and communities (like Reddit or Steam forums) for other players experiencing similar issues. There may be specific workarounds or solutions.
