4. Remove Nahimic Sonic Studio and/or Sonic Radar.
Nahimic Sonic Studio, Sonic Radar and other similar audio applications have been known to cause launch issues or crashing in games. These programs often come pre-installed on machines and many users are unaware they're present.
Check to see if they're present on your system by looking at your Task Manager processes, either by typing "Task Manager" into the Windows search bar or by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del and selecting Task Manager. Disable the processes and see if Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters now loads successfully.

Please consider removing these applications entirely if the game is persistently crashing on launch.
5. Ensure your graphical drivers are up-to-date.
If you need any assistance with updating your graphics card drivers, you can use our guide here as a reference on how to do this.
6. Disable The Steam; Xbox; Discord and Geforce overlays.

7. Lower the Game's Graphics settings.

One thing you can try is lowering the graphics quality of the game itself. You can do this by going into the game's settings screen, and going to the Graphics section. From there you can choose a graphics preset, or customize each option available.

8. Unplug any 3rd party peripherals.
Some third-party peripherals can cause conflicts when loading up games, so please unplug everything except the necessary keyboard and mouse.
9. Lower your Windows Resolution temporarily and then change it back.
We have found that this has worked across many PC games since the Windows 10 April 2018 Creators update. It will trigger Windows to update your chosen display settings.
