NieR Replicant 2021 Crash Fix, How To Unlock FPS, Crash At Startup, Stuttering, Low FPS Fix

NieR Replicant PC is facing errors and issues like the crash at startup, low FPS, locked FPS, performance issues, stuttering, and more. Here I have compiled a list of errors and issues that PC players are experiencing with NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139… along with their fixes and workarounds.

NieR Replicant Crash, Low FPS, And Fixes

NieR Replicant is a remaster of the original Nier released in 2010. Following the success of Nier Automata, Square Enix is showing great interest in the IP. While the NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139… has launched with a ton of improvements over the original but, PC players are facing errors and issues like Low FPS, locked FPS, crash at startup, in-game crash, and more.

The following are the errors and issues that PC players are experiencing with NieR Replicant along with their fixes and workarounds.

Game Not Starting, Crash At Startup Fix

Nier Replicant 2021 PC players are reporting that the game is crashing at launch or not starting at all. Here is how to fix it.

While it sounds ridiculous, some players have reported that changing their name to English characters only fixes the Nier Replicant crash at startup issue.

Another reason for the game to not launch or crash at startup is the 32-Bit OS. If you are using a 32-Bit oS then you are out of luck as the game only supports Windows 10 64-Bit.

Lack of admin rights can also be the reason why Nier Replicant is crashing at launch. Right-click Nier Replicant’s exe > Properties > Compatibility tab > check “run this program as administrator” and hit apply. This will fix the issue.

Your anti-virus/Windows Security might be blocking important game files and causing the crash. Either disable real-time protection or exclude the game’s install from the anti-virus/Windows Security. To exclude Nier Replicant’s folder from Windows Security, open Settings > Update & Security > Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > click Manage Settings under “Virus & threat protection settings” > click “add or remove exclusions” under “Exclusions”. Browse to the game’s folder and add it. After that, verify game files and the issue will be fixed.

If Nier Replicant 2021 is still crashing at startup, then right-click the game in Steam library > Manage > Browse Local Files. Launch the game directly from the exe. Chances are, you’ll get an error similar to “vcruntime140_1.dll or MSVCP140.dll Was Not Found”. Players can fix it by installing the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables both x64 and x86 versions.

Crash Fix

PC players are reporting that Nier Replicant is crashing while playing and here is how to fix it. One reason for the Nier Replicant in-game crash is the use of third-party tools and software like MSI Afterburner, RGB software, mice and keyboard software. Disable any third-party software you have installed and also disable Steam overlay and Geforce Experience overlay. This will fix the Nier Replicant in-game crash on PC.

Another reason for the crashing issue could be the CPU. For those of you running Neir ReReplicant 2021 on an old CPU, it might be crashing the game. There isn’t much players can do but, there are a couple of tweaks that might help. Open Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings > program Settings > select “NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139…”. Set “Ultra” for Low Latency mode and select off for Tripple Buffering. Apply these settings and the issue will be fixed.

Your GPU could also be the reason behind NieR Replicant in-game crash. Either your GPU is overclocked or is old. If the GPU is overclocked then revert it back to its default GPU clock even if it’s factory overclocked. In case the GPU is old, then use MSI Afterburner and reduce the GPU clock by 100 Mhz. Ideally, players won’t have to reduce the GPU clock more than 200 Mhz before the game stabilizes.

If you don’t want to mess with the GPU clock, then players can simply cap the FPS to reduce GPU load which will fix the crashing issue. Open Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings > program Settings > select “NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139…”. Turn on the MAX FPS limit and set the value to 30. Considering the game doesn’t support FPS higher than 60, capping it to 60 FPS won’t make a difference. Alternatively, players can do trial and error to check at which Max FPS Nier Replicant stops crashing.

Low FPS Fix, Stttering, Performance Fix

Like Nier Automata, Nier Replicant ver.1.22474487139… has performance issues like low FPS, stuttering, and random FPS drops. Some performance issues with the game are due to specific reasons and here is how to fix them.

First, make sure you have installed the latest GPU driver and there is no background process using too much CPU, GPU, or HDD.

For those of you facing the low FPS issue and are using a controller or a gamepad, the issue is the game’s code for the gamepad/controller. However, Nier Replicant 2021’s Low FPS issues can be easily fixed with a simple mod. Players have to install the Special K. Launch the game and open Special K. Enable “Disable PS4 HID Input” under Gamepad. This will improve Nier Replicant’s FPS significantly.

If you aren’t using a controller or the above fix didn’t work, then open Nvidia Control Panel Manage 3D Settings > program Settings > select “NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139…” or add it if it isn’t in the list. Turn on “Max FPS Limit” and set the value to 60. This will fix the game’s FPS drops and stuttering.

Don’t close the Nvidia Control Panel and make the following tweaks as they’ll improve the game’s performance.

Anti-aliasing-FXAA – “Off”
Anti-aliasing-Gamma Correction – “Off”
CUDA GPUs – “All”
Low Latency Mode – Ultra.
Set Power Management to “Prefer Maximum Performance”
Shader Cache – “On” only if you are using an HDD. Don’t need to enable it for an SSD.
Set Texture filtering – Quality to “High Performance”
Triple Buffering – “Off”
Set Vertical Sync to “Use the 3D application setting”

Apply these settings and players will notice a boost in performance.

How To Unlock FPS, Game Stuck At 30 FPS Fix

PC players are reporting that Nier Replicant 2021’s FPS is locked when they play. According to players, the game is either locked at 30 FPS and for some 11 FPS. Here is how to unlock FPS. Open Nvidia Control Panel Manage 3D Settings > program Settings > select “NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139…” or add it if it isn’t in the list. Select “High-performance Nvidia processor” under ‘preferred graphics processor’ and set the Max FPS limit to 60. This will unlock Nier Replicant FPS and will also improve performance.

Controller Not Working Fix

Nier Replicant PC players are reporting that their controllers aren’t working partially or at all. Here is how to fix the controller not working issue. Right-click Nier Replicant in Steam library > under “Steam Input per-game Setting” select “Forced Off” and press Ok. This should fix the controller issues with the game.

If the controller still isn’t working, then go to Steam > Settings > Controller > General Controller Settings. Select “Generic Gamepad Configuration Support” if you are using a third-party controller. For Xbox controller select “Xbox Configuration Support” and select the PlayStation option if you are using a Sony controller. This will get the controller working with the game and will fix the controller issues too.

D3D Device Removed Fix

PC players are reporting that Nier Replicant crashes with D3D Device Removed error message. One reason for this error is the overclocked GPU. If you have overclocked the GPU then revert it back to its default GPU clock even if it’s factory overclocked. In case the GPU isn’t overclocked, then use MSI Afterburner to reduce the GPU clock by 100 MHz. Ideally, players won’t have to go any further than 200 Mhz.

Alternatively, PC players can limit the game’s max FPS to 30 to fix the Nier Replicant D3D Device Removed error. Open Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings > Program Settings > select Nier Replicant or add it if it’s not in the list. Turn on “Max FPS Limit” and set the value to 30. This will lock the game at 30 FPS and will reduce the GPU and CPU load fixing the D3D Device Removed error.
