Warhammer Realms of Ruin Crashing: Effective Fixes
Game Errors
NOVEMBER 20, 2023
As a fan of the Warhammer universe, I’ve waited a while for the Realms of Ruin to be released. Yet, I’ve been a bit let down because Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin started crashing on my device. After all, this issue can be quite disruptive, but, fortunately, it’s often solvable. In this article, I’ll share some effective software solutions and hardware upgrades to tackle these crashes.
Game development is becoming more expensive (at least or especially for AAA games), but at the same time there’s more games than ever, and it’s ‘easier’ for me to wait for sales than ever. Or heck, there’s a decent chance a game will be available on a subscription service eventually. So, that’s to say, I find it even less likely than a decade ago that I’ll buy a new game at full price. Should I worry about this? Sure I’m one person, but the market is nothing but many “one person"s, right?

It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that you're representative of the buying public at large, but that's rarely the case. Most players don't think about how the sausage is made, they just want to find a flavor they like.
