Gamers playing the video game World War 3 have been experiencing a problem as of late where the game crashes whenever they’ve loaded a map. From what we’ve come to understand, this is not always the case since the game can crash in different situations, for example, the game menu.
What is the cause of World War 3 crashing after loading the map?
It is possible this problem is caused by an OpenSSL bug that is found in the Intel 10th generation processors. It affects other processors as well, but primarily the 10th generation of the Intel variety. Now, we understand Intel resolved this issue a while back, but at the same time, any video games powered by the Unreal Engine version that contains the error will face the same problem, nonetheless.

1] Open the Settings app
The first thing to do here is to open the Settings app by pressing the Windows key + I, and right away, the Settings app will appear.
2] Click on the About button
The next step, then, is to select System from the left-pane via the Settings app, and from there, scroll down to the bottom and click About.
3] Open the Advanced System Settings window
You will now want to fire up the Advanced section of System Properties. To do this, look for Advanced Systems Settings and click on it. The window should open in less than a second. Once you’ve done that, please select the Advanced tab.
4] Go to Environment Variables
From the newly opened window, look below for a button that reads Environment Variables and click on it right away.
5] Add a new Variable name
OK, so the next step here is to add a Variable name. In order to get this done, you must click on New under System Variables, then from there, copy and paste OPENSSL_ia32cap into the Variable Name box.
Now, from the Variable Value section, please copy and paste ~0x200000200000000 into the box, then hit Enter or press the OK button, and that’s it for this section.
Restart your computer and check if World War 3 is working as it should.
6] Open World War 3 from its .exe file
We understand that opening the game via the EXE file is able to fix the crashing problem after the loading of maps. Several users have confirmed this method has worked for them.
To launch the .exe file, you must go to the directory where the game is installed, then locate the EXE file and open it.
After that, please wait a bit to see if the game continues to crash after loading the map.
7] Play the game in Clean Boot State
If the above options have failed to work as intended, then we believe you must perform a clean boot. You see, if the problem World War 3 is facing has anything to do with a third-party application, then a clean boot should solve things.
