Wanderburg Startup, Crash & Performance Fixes
Troubleshoot Wanderburg startup crashes, logo exits and PC requirement checks with source-backed limits.
Quick answer
If Wanderburg quits after the Unity or publisher logos, first compare your PC with the Steam minimum requirements, then collect a clean crash report. A February demo thread shows multiple players reporting logo-stage exits and one whole-PC restart, but it does not contain a verified universal fix. Treat the steps below as diagnosis, not a guaranteed repair.
Check the official requirements
Steam lists the minimum PC requirements as a 64-bit processor and operating system, Windows 10 or higher, Intel Core i5 10th Generation, 4 GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, DirectX 11 and 2 GB available storage.
Before changing files, confirm:
- Windows is updated and is Windows 10 or higher.
- Your GPU is at least in the range of the listed GTX 1660 Ti requirement.
- DirectX 11 support is available.
- You have more than 2 GB free storage after installation.
- Steam installed the game or demo from the official app page.
Logo exit versus full PC restart
The main reported pattern is the game showing logos and then closing. One player also reported the PC restarting after the logo intro on one machine while an older PC ran the demo. Those are different failure levels.
| Symptom | Next step |
|---|---|
| Game closes after logos | Verify files, restart Steam, record the last visible logo or error mark |
| Window never opens | Check graphics driver and DirectX support before reinstalling |
| PC restarts | Treat it as a system stability issue and check Windows Event Viewer, temperatures and drivers |
| Game keeps running after quit | Close through Steam and include that detail in the bug report |
Safe troubleshooting order
- Restart Steam and launch again once.
- Use Steam's file verification for the demo or Early Access app.
- Update graphics drivers from the GPU vendor.
- Disable overlays for one test run if the crash happens before the game window opens.
- Reboot Windows after driver or Steam changes.
- If the whole PC restarts, stop repeated launch attempts until you check system logs and thermals.
What to send in a report
Include your CPU, GPU, RAM, Windows version, input device, whether you used the demo or Early Access build, and the exact stage where it exits. If you saw a short exclamation mark or Unity dialog, mention it. The useful next step is a reproducible report; the available community thread does not prove a single setting fixes every startup case.
