After removing superfluous tasks in Task Manager, restart the computer to stop the game from crashing. You can do so by following the steps below:

• Windows Key + R > Search msconfig > Services > Hide all Microsoft services > Startup > Task Manager > Disable the unused tasks > Restart the system

Turn Off Steam Overlay

The next thing you may attempt to resolve the crashing issue is to disable the Steam Overlay. You can do so by following the steps below:

• Steam Library> Right-click WWE 2K22 > Properties > General > Uncheck the “Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game”

Update the Graphics Card Driver

Outdated GPU drivers can potentially cause games to fail on startup. If the GPU drivers need to be updated separately from the Windows update, do so. The most recent Nvidia and AMD drivers are available on their respective websites.

DirectX should be updated.

DirectX is an essential component of gaming programs, and outdated DirectX causes games to break at launch. If the game crashes on starting, you must update DirectX to the most recent version.

Check the File Integrity

The final option is to check the file’s integrity. This causes the game to automatically look for and replace any missing or corrupted files.
