How to fix Wolfenstein 2 could not write crash dump
Wolfenstein 2 could not write crash dump AMD: This situation refers to the scenario where your graphics card is of AMD and the game crashes each time when you launch it.Wolfenstein 2 could not write crash dump NVIDIA: Similar to the error message, this condition occurs when the graphics card installed in NVIDIA and the refuses to launch and crashes.
Solution 1: Update the game and client
Before we move on to more tedious and lengthy solutions, you should first make sure that the game and the game client are updated to the latest build. Every now and then, the developers of Wolfenstein release patches to fix bugs or introduce new features in the game.
If you have a Steam client, you should make sure that the game is updated from there or if you are using a standalone game client, navigate to the Wolfenstein’s website and download the latest patch.
Solution 2: Changing compatibility settings
Every computer application has compatibility settings which determine how the application will perform and what are the compatibility settings that will govern the main running of the application. We can try changing some compatibility settings of the game in the Steam folder and see if this fixes the problem. You can always revert the changes if this doesn’t work. For example, the file path can be:
You can do the same with the Steam client or the standalone version of the game.
Solution 3: Disabling Async Compute
Another thing to try if the above solutions don’t work is disabling the Async compute on the game or on your computer. The Async compute enhances the graphics output of the game on your computer. However, in several cases like this one, it causes problems and forces the game not to launch. You can disable the feature from your graphics card or if you are able to enter the game, you can disable it from there. Once disabled, restart your computer completely and try launching Wolfenstein 2.
Solution 4: Deleting the ‘config’ file
Each game has a configuration file saved locally on your computer. The settings of the game are stored in this config file so whenever you launch the game, the application fetches the settings from here and then loads its modules. It is possible that the configuration file is corrupt and hence you are unable to even launch the game. If we delete the configuration file, the game will detect that none is present and then make a new one with default values.
If you have an i7 or i5, you can also try disabling igpu before launching the game.
Solution 5: Checking your graphics drivers
If all the above methods don’t work out, you can try making sure that your graphics drivers are updated to the latest version. This can be the primary reason why your game is crashing because it doesn’t have access to the latest and updated graphics drivers. We will make use of the utility DDU to help to remove the remnants completely from your computer.
In the manual method, you have to download the drivers from the manufacturer’s website and install the drivers from there.
