Fix 2. Disable Antivirus Software

Your antivirus software or firewall protection service may be blocking Hades 2 when it's not needed. To fix this, you can simply go into whatever antivirus program you're using and tell it to ignore Hades 2. If you use Windows Security, you can follow the instructions below to allow Hades 2 through the firewall:

  • Go to Control Panel > Select All Control Panel Items > Windows Defender Firewall.
  • On the left side of this window, select Allow application through the firewall. This will allow your security system to bypass firewall protection and function normally.

Fix 3. Update Graphic Driver

If your graphics driver has not been updated to the latest version, it may cause a variety of problems when trying to run Hade 2, including crashing errors. You only need to follow the instructions below to upgrade your graphics driver to the latest version.

Step 1. Right-click the "Start" menu, select "Device Manager," expand "Display Adapters," and find the graphics card driver.

Step 2. Right-click the device you want to update and select Update Driver from the submenu.

Step 3. Automatically search for updated driver software when the next prompt appears. Your System will automatically search for and install the latest drivers, but this process requires you to have an active Internet connection.

Additionally, if you use an Nvidia graphics card, you can check for updates through GeForce Experience, while AMD users can download AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition to update their drivers.

Fix 4. Run Hades 2 as Administrate

Sometimes, games may require administrator permissions to access some certain system resources. Running Hades 2 as an administrator can fix crashes caused by the related permission issues. To do this, right-click on the game icon and find and interact with the Run as administrator option. 

Here is a step-by-step guide:

Step 1. Right-click "Hades 2" in the Steam library.

Step 2. Under "Manage," select "Browse local files."

Step 3. Scroll down to find the Hades 2 application.

Step 4. Right-click the application and select Properties.

Step 5. Under the "Compatibility" tab, select the "Run this program as an administrator" checkbox. Select Apply and then OK.

Fix 5. Check Disk Errors

Many users have reported that Hades 2 crashes when their computer does experience problems. Therefore, you can try to bypass Hades 2 crashing issues by checking and fixing errors on your current PC and hard drive. If you are not a very experienced Windows user, it is recommended that you use EaseUS Partition Master Professional. Its "Check File System Error" feature can directly scan the current hard disk for errors and try to repair it.

Here's how to use it:

Step 1. Open EaseUS Partition Master on your computer. Then, locate the disk, right-click the partition you want to check, and choose "Advanced" > "Check File System".

Step 2. In the Check File System window, keep the "Try to fix errors if found" option selected and click "Start".

Step 3. The software will begin checking your partition file system on your disk. When it completes, click "Finish".
