rugby 18 bugs

Rugby 18 should be on every rugby fan’s list as this rugby simulation is highly addictive, allowing you to live the full intensity of the greatest matches. In it, you are challenged to build the best rugby team in the world, compete against other players online, and more.

Unfortunately, playing Rugby 18 is not always a smooth experience: gamers report the title is sometimes affected by a series of technical issues that can range from minor bugs and glitches to severe issues such as game freezes and game crashes.

In this article, we’re going to list the most common Rubgy 18 issues reported by gamers as well as their corresponding workarounds.

Rubgy 18 reported bugs and fixes

It is worth mentioning the game received mainly negative reviews on Steam due to the plethora of issues that players have experienced.

1. Controller won’t work

Rugby 18 requires a controller to play. However, many gamers can’t use their controllers to play the game due to various issues: the computer won’t detect the controller, the peripheral is unresponsive, and more.

I was really looking forward to this, after purchasing and installing the game it only allowed me to use Xbox controls on my PC, which clearly wouldnt work, there was no option to change this.

If your Xbox One controller is not working on PC, try updating your drivers, use the built-in troubleshooting feature, or turn off your antivirus while connecting the peripherals.

2. Career won’t save

After investing many hours into the gameplay, the worst thing that can happen is losing your progress. Some Rubgy 18 players are having trouble saving career games, forcing them to return to square one.

So I am trying to play career. I play the first game. Then I exit. It looks like the game has saved so I can then play match 2. However after exiting Rugby 18 and then returning to it later I go to continue career and it loads up to start game 1 again! Anyone know why? How can I play career if it keeps reverting back to the very start again? Annoying!

Most likely, career mode won’t save due to file corruption issues. Try repairing your game, run the sfc /scannow command in Command Prompt, run a full system antivirus scan and delete temporary files.


3. Rugby 18 crashes

If you encountered the error message “Game will crash, proc.dmp file will be created”, you’re not the only one. Many players are in the same boat and can’t enjoy their new game.

If i start game it says: Game will crash, proc.dmp file will be created. on next box click retry button. No next window pops up game just close????????????
Payed alot for this help and cant refund because bought it with a cd!!!

To fix this problem, try repairing the game, cleaning your registry, closing background apps and programs and making sure there are no compatibility issues between your system and Rugby 18. If the issue persists, uninstall and reinstall the game.
