- Go to your Steam Library.
- Find WWE 2K22 in your Steam Library and select it with Right-click.
- Go to Properties >Local Files
- Select Verify Integrity of Game Files.
This will cause steam to recheck all the data present in the game to see if there’s a corrupted file or not, if so, well there’s your issue. Steam will now re-download the corrupted / missing files. Run WWE 2K22 again to see if the issue is fixed.
Update DirectX and Visual C++ Redistributable
Ensure that both DirectX and Visual C++ Redistributables are on the latest version.
Update Your GPU Drivers
GPU drivers can often be the cause of performance issues and crashes in a ton of PC games from Elden Ring to Cyberpunk. Make sure your GPU drivers are up-to-date, if not, update your drivers and try starting WWE 2K22 again. You can find the latest Nvidia drivers at their official website or through the Geforce Experience client. AMD users can also find the latest drivers on AMD’s official website.

Restart your PC
Sometimes it can also be an issue with your PC, there could be a potentially draining task running on the background or the PC just needs a fresh restart at times.
Check Your Task Manager
Often times there are tasks running in the background that choke your PC’s performance, in that case, it is a good idea to check what’s running in the background and shutting it down using the task manager. You can open the task manager using Ctrl + Alt + Del and select “Task Manager”.
If there’s something besides the game that’s sucking out a lot of memory or GPU / CPU usage, it is always a good idea to shut it down when you’re gaming.

Haven’t had the game crash at launch on PlayStation anyhow, oftentimes it crashes during actual gameplay. The only solution I’ve used is just normal trouble shooting techniques. Such as clear the cashe and cookies, as well as power cycling. The games usually fine, unless i try opening the web browser. Another solution would be not using a dynamic theme with background music. Oftentimes dynamic themes can cause framerate drops, stuttering or tearing on PlayStation anyhow. I usually make sure all apps are closed and not suspended in the background by doing a hard reset, that usually helps prevent crashing or stuttering.
