Solving the problem "The Evil Within program is no longer working"

The genre survival-horror, it would seem, has almost died out. Only periodically there are projects that deserve attention, and fans of this genre have to enjoy only the good old masterpieces, dispensing with new products. However, in recent years, developers have decided to revive this genre, because already in 2014 in the light came just a few worthwhile projects that can please you. The first among them is to highlight The Evil Within - a game that allows you to constantly be on the verge between the real world and the nightmare sleep of a psychopath. Naturally, with all the resulting frightening and startling consequences. However, this article, unfortunately, will not be dedicated to how good this project is. It will be much more useful for you to know what to do if you constantly get the error "The Evil Within program is stopped" - one of the most common both for users of a licensed copy, and for gamers who downloaded pirates.

The essence of the problem

So, many users are faced with an unpleasant problem: when they try to start the game, the screen literally for a second has time to change, after which you throw it on the desktop. Along with this, you receive a notification " The Evil Within program is stopped," and the system begins to look for solutions. Do not wait until the search is over, because nothing useful is found for you. Accordingly, we will have to solve the problem with our own hands. But how to do that? This article will help you in this. Here you will learn the basic ways to deal with departures, accompanied by the message "The Evil Within program is stopped."

The solution for pirates

If you did not buy your copy of the game, and downloaded it from the torrent tracker, then you might be helped to try and change the game versions. There are a lot of repacks, and they are all made by different people using different methods. You can try to download a few and see when launching which of them you will not see the words "The Evil Within program is stopped." However, this does not always help, so do not expect too much that you will be able to solve all problems only in this way. Naturally, it's better to buy a game, and not to download it from torrents, because you create yourself a huge number of problems - lack of technical support, multi-user modes, low chance that the game will start at all. In general, pirated versions are a lot of trouble, but now it's not about that, it's about how to get rid of such a problem in The Evil Within on a PC, regardless of the game version.

Compliance with system requirements

If you get a similar error, then you should check whether the configuration of your computer matches the system requirements specified by the developers of The Evil Within. The PC version is incredibly resource-demanding, so you should not even try to run this project if you have an old computer or its performance is average or even above average. Accordingly, you need to upgrade your PC - it's worth doing also because modern games all require quite a powerful "hardware", so the mistake and the inability to play The Evil Within is just a push for you, thanks to which you will open the door to yourself The world of modern igrostroeniya. However, if the system requirements are not so great for you, and you are the owner of a powerful computer, you need to look for the cause in another.

DirectX 11 and a separate account

Very often this error occurs because you do not have the latest version of the DirectX distribution installed. You need to download the installer from the official site and run it with the Internet on - the last point is extremely important, since all data and databases will be downloaded from the network during the installation process. As a result, you get a functional distribution, with the help of which this problem can be solved. Also you can try to create a separate account on which you will only run this game - in some cases this solution helps.

Another no less popular problem

An error with the termination of the program is very common among users, but there is another problem that many gamers have had to face. The fact is that in the game The Evil Within the black bars around the edges of the screen annoy everyone, and at the same time they appear almost everyone. The reason here lies in the fact that the developers to make the game cinematic decided to make a non-standard screen resolution. But the monitors are standard for everyone, that's why it turns out that on one axis the image is cut off, and on the other black bands appear. You can get rid of them by manually selecting the most suitable screen resolution for you . Then in The Evil Within, the black bars will not bother you anymore, and you can safely enjoy the gameplay. Although "quietly" here is not the most appropriate word, given all the horror and nightmare that are happening in the game at every turn.
