Once done, select the “Verify integrity of game files” to update the missing or corrupted files.

Update Graphics Card drivers

Both AMD and Nvidia rolls out updates for their graphics cards regularly. Although users usually get a prompt when a new update is available, you can ensure that the drivers have updated to the latest version by using the Nvidia or AMD software. If they are not updated to the latest version, you can manually download them from their respective software.

Close In-game overlays and background applications
