What is the reason behind Lethal Company Blue Screen Crashing?
BSoD or Blue Screen of Death, or more simply the Blue Screen is a result of the System Failure at the level of Windows Kernal (Back-End). It is mostly caused by the Windows Drivers or Software issues, but it could be the Hardware as well.

Fix for Lethal Company Blue Screen Crash
Following are the steps you need to follow one by one to fix the Lethal Company Blue Screen Crash.
Clean Install Latest Drivers
GPU Drivers are the primary cause of Blue Screen in any game possible. If you have old drivers, it can affect the latest game update version, resulting in a Blue Screen after a crash.
Furthermore, sometimes the drivers of your GPU can get corrupted with time. Hence, you will have to uninstall the old drivers and install new ones. It is also called as Clean Installation of GPU Drivers.
- For Nvidia, you can download the Drivers from Nvidia Experience.
- For AMD, you can download the Drivers from AMD Adrenaline or through the manual method.
- Make sure you check the Custom Installation>Clean Installation of Drivers to wipe out the old ones and install new ones.
- Search “Updates” on Windows and let it load up all the latest updates available.
Fixing DirectX (DX12 and DX11)
Sometimes the DirectX12 files are corrupted or the system doesn’t recognize them, resulting in the Lethal Company Blue Screen. Here’s how to use DX11 instead of 12 in Steam.
- Go to Steam Library
- Right Click on Lethal Company
- Click on Edit Settings File
- Change the “Api=dx12” to “Api=dx11”
- Save and Exit
You can also manually download DX12 on your system and it will repair or replace the files.
Verify Game Files or Repair them
Just as we mentioned, the Lethal Company Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) is also caused by the game files being corrupted or missing. To fix this issue, verify the game files in their respective launcher.
- Open Steam
- Go to Steam Launcher
- Right Click on “Lethal Company”
- Go to Properties
- Go to the Files Tab
- Click on “Verify Integrity of Game Files”
Check System Overheating and Troubleshoot It
Blue Screen and game crashing are also a result of system overheating while playing the game. You need to check out the temperatures by using the Afterburner Rivatuner Statistics Server and get in-game stats showing up.
Monitor these stats and make sure your system is not overheating. In case it is, you will have to lower the in-game settings, apply new thermal paste to your CPU, and clean the system.
Close background applications as well because there might be something in the background that is draining resources and causing the system to overheat, resulting in Lethal Company Blue Screen Crash.
