Company of Heroes 2 Errors, Crashes, SLI/Crossfire, Screen, Sound and Launch Fixes

SLI/Crossfire, sound bug, launch screen, compatibility and fixes for general errors, crashes and freezes in Company of Heroes 2.


THQ might be a history now, but Company of Heroes isn’t as SEGA secured all the rights in January and promised fans to deliver the sequel we all have been waiting for.

I am talking about Company of Heroes 2 and after its prolonged beta phase, the full game has finally been released. If you have played the original Company of Heroes, I don’t think that you would want to miss its second iteration.

Although, Relic Entertainment has been hard at work to bring a stable experience to the community at launch but big games tend to be affected by minor issues due to hardware and software diversity in the modern age.

If you are experiencing any issues like bugs, errors or crashes and looking for a solution, you have landed on the right place. You can browse through the following listing and search for the concerned possible solution.

#1 Company of Heroes 2 SLI/Crossfire Issues
The games seems to be optimized for single GPU working. So, if you are using a SLI/Crossfire, you should try disabling it and run the game using single GPU. This should fix the frame rate issues for you.

Probably, Relic will come up with a fix later on.

#2 Company of Heroes 2 – Full Screen Fix
If you haven’t been able to run the game in full screen properly, make sure that you aren’t running applications like Teamviewer in the background. If you still want to keep it running while playing the game, you can choose to turn off the share button.

Steam sometimes tend to run in the compatibility mode even if you don’t want it to. However, if you are looking for a fix, you can refer to this link for the solution.

#6 Company of Heroes 2 – Sound Bug Fix

The problem occurred after the patch and it might be fixed in the next update.

If you are experiencing this crash, make sure that you are using the latest version of the GPU drivers even if the game was running fine in beta.

#9 Company of Heroes 2 – Disk Installation Problem
If you own a retail disc and aren’t able to install it from the physical media as it starts downloading using Steam then, you should disable the internet, quit Steam and install it.

After installation, you will have to download the latest patch to play the game anyway.

#10 Company of Heroes 2 – Game Crashes in Mission 2
Well, if your game is being crashed during the campaign randomly, you should try playing it again after restarting Steam. If the game still crashes, verify the integrity of your game files.
