Lies Of P Something Went Wrong Fix
According to PC users, when they launch Lies of P, they get the Lies Of P, it crashes and they get the Sorry, Something Went Wrong error message. This is a bug with the game and players can work around it by launching Lies of PC directly from the executable instead of their Steam or Xbox app if they have bought the game on the Microsoft Store or have it on Gamepass.

Crash At Startup Fix
PC users report that Lies Of P doesn’t start when they launch the game or it crashes at startup. There are multiple reasons why the game is crashing at launch and the following are the fixes that’ll help players fix the issue.
Disable Anti-Virus
Anti-virus software protects your PC from viruses and malware, however, sometimes anti-virus detects game files like the executables as virus or malware. The reason why Lies Of P is crashing at startup or not launching is that your anti-virus has quarantined the executable or blocked the game from launching.
You can either disable real-time protection or exclude the game folder from the anti-virus, I recommend the latter. After that, right-click Lies of P in Steam library > Properties > Installed files > click “Verify Integrity of game files”. Launch Lies of P and it won’t crash.
Update Windows
Another reason why Lies Of P is crashing at startup is your outdated Windows operating system. Games often require the latest Windows build or they eventually require an updated Windows build after certain updates. Open Windows Settings> Windows Updates > click Check for updates. The OS will look for any available updates and will install them. Restart your PC, if required, launch Lies Of P and it won’t crash.
Disable Fullscreen Optimizations
Fullscreen Optimizations is a Windows feature that is enabled by default for every program or game installed on your PC. A useful feature but can cause games like Lies Of P to crash at startup. Disable fullscreen optimizations and the game will stop crashing at launch. Right-click the game in Steam library > Manage > Browse Lcoal files.
If you own the game on Gamepass or Microsoft Store, right-click the game in the Xbox app > Manage > Files > click Browse. A new window will open with the game files, right-click the executable > properties > Compatibility tab > check “Disable fullscreen optimizations” and apply the changes. Launch Lies Of P and it won’t crash.
Delete Temp Files
Temporary files can accumulate over time and cause games like Lies Of P to crash at startup. Deleting these temporary files will fix this issue. Press the Windows + R buttons > type %temp% and press enter. A new window will open containing some files and folders. Delete all the files, launch the game and it won’t crash anymore.
