Many players love shooter-style projects; they allow you to check the speed of your reaction, as well as relieve stress after a hard day. However, it is immediately worth noting that there are various areas of this genre that are very different from each other. Particular attention should be paid to sniper simulators, which are not at all like dynamic shooters, in which you need to move a lot and shoot a lot. Here you also need patience and perseverance, the ability to wait a long time in ambush in order to decide the outcome of the mission with one accurate shot. One of the best games in this direction today is Sniper Elite 3 - the latest project from the famous series. But at the same time, pay attention to the fact that you may encounter certain launch problems, which are reported by many players. If you do not start Sniper Elite 3, then you should definitely read this article and perform all necessary steps.
System requirements
If you do not start Sniper Elite 3, then you first need to check the compliance of your computer configuration with the system requirements specified by the developer at the release. Sometimes it may turn out that you decide to play a certain project, but did not think that it can be completely new, therefore very demanding on your hardware. And if you have a medium or weak computer, then there is a possibility that this shooter will not work on it, since it was released relatively recently, therefore it has rather high system requirements. If this is actually the case, then you have nothing left to do but save the game until the moment you upgrade your computer so that it can run all the latest releases. You can also try to play in previous versions of the game, as they were released earlier and have not so high requirements. However, if your computer is modern enough, then there must be other reasons why you are not starting Sniper Elite 3.
Drivers for hardware
If the system requirements are consistent with your computer configuration, but you still encounter the problem that Sniper Elite 3 does not start, then you should first of all pay attention to the drivers for all your hardware. The best way in this case is to download a special program for testing, after which you will analyze all the contents of your computer, as well as firewood that is already installed. After that, they will be compared with what is available on the Internet, and you will be offered a full report that will note which of your drivers are relevant and which should be updated as soon as possible. According to this information, you can already search the Internet for the necessary drivers, download and install them, naturally starting with the drivers for the video card, since they are the most important for launching computer games. In many cases, this helps. However, it may happen that you have updated all the drivers, but you still do not start Sniper Elite 3. What should I do?
Installation and update distribution
A distribution is a special software that you need to install so that you can play modern computer games. If your Sniper Elite 3 does not start, crashes or freezes, it may be that you did not install the necessary software that was required. Therefore, go to the official websites of programs such as DirectX, VCRedist, Visual C ++ and so on, download the latest updates for the distribution package and install them on your computer. At the same time, pay attention to the fact that different updates are suitable for different versions of the system - 32-bit and 64-bit. Download only those updates that you specifically need. But even after that you may notice that Sniper Elite 3 does not start. Windows 8 generally has quite a few problems with this game. Then you need to continue searching for a solution that will allow you to try your hand at the role of a sniper.
Disabling background programs
In the case of SE 3, you should definitely turn off absolutely all background programs that you do not need while you play. There are two reasons for this. Firstly, these programs may consume your computer's resources, and as a result, they may not remain for the correct launch of the game itself. However, for powerful computers this is almost never relevant, but this does not mean that the owners of such machines should not turn off the background software. The fact is that some programs can block the launch of the game for unexplained reasons. Unfortunately, this is true - many gamers noted that after disabling some programs, the game began to work quite normally.
Run in windowed mode
In some cases, when all other options have already been tried and do not work, running the game in window mode can help you. You can achieve this by setting a specific command for it in the launch options. This command looks pretty simple - subwindow, but it will allow many gamers to avoid departure problems and enjoy the game to the full, albeit in windowed mode.
