Let us talk about them in detail.
1] Close Background Tasks
This is may not help you if your game is crashing, but if it’s crashing then first of all check if you have any application running in the background. You need to close all the Background apps such as a browser or a streaming app. But many gamers tend to run Discord along with their games, this may work, if your computer is packed with good hardware, but if it’s barely meeting the system requirements then you should close them as well.
You should not only close the apps but also end their tasks from the Task Manager. To do that, open Task Manager, and in the Process tab, look for the process that’s taking too much of your resources, then right-click on it and select End Task.
2] Install DirectX
If you are seeing the error message “d3d12.dll is missing from your computer” when Farming Simulator is crashing then this means that you need to install DirectX. You can do that from microsoft.com. If already have DirectX, then this will update it and hopefully, do the trick.
3] Remove Third-party application
Some users have mentioned that they were able to resolve the issue by removing third-party applications such as Virtual Keyboard or CCP server or some other app that can interfere with your program. So, remove them and see if the issue is resolved. If you can’t find which application is causing the issue, try troubleshooting in Clean Boot. This way, you will know which application is causing the trouble, then you can remove it to resolve the issue.
4] Update Graphics Drivers
You should also make sure that you are running the latest version of Graphics Drivers. Usually, when you update your Windows, they also get updated, but you should try updating Graphics Driver manually, and see if that helps.
4] Repair Game files
Your game will definitely crash if it’s corrupted. But you can repair game files with the help of your launcher to resolve the issue.
