Games Crashing On ROG Ally? How to Fixes Easily!

Use the desktop mode

Switching to the desktop mode on your ROG Ally may improve game performance and stability. Some users have reported better results when using this mode.

Disable mods

If you have installed any modifications or mods for your games, try disabling them. Mods can sometimes cause compatibility issues and lead to crashes. Disable the mods and check if the crashes persist.

Set VRAM to automatic

Adjusting the VRAM settings to automatic allows the game engine to allocate the appropriate amount of memory for graphical processing. Set the VRAM to auto and let the game engine determine the allocation.

Close background apps

Follow the step-by-step solutions below to prevent game crashes on your ROG Ally.

Update the GPU driver

Outdated GPU drivers, especially the AMD Graphics Driver, can often cause game crashes on ROG Ally. Visit the Asus Driver & Tools page, select your ROG Ally model, and download the latest graphics driver. Install the driver on your ROG Ally following the provided instructions.

Keeping your ROG Ally’s BIOS firmware up to date is crucial for optimal performance. Visit the Asus Driver & Tools page, select Bios & Firmware, and download the BIOS update specifically for your ROG Ally model. Run the downloaded executable file to update the BIOS.

Clear shader cache

Corrupted shader cache files can lead to game crashing issues. Open the Settings, navigate to the Graphics section, select Advanced, and click on the Perform Reset button next to Reset Shader Cache. Confirm the action and clear the shader cache.
