Tropico 6 Bugs and Game-Breaking Problems: How to Fix Them

Unlike previous titles, Tropico 6 is one of the best titles of the Tropico series, but it can also be troubled by bugs in its best form.

In this detailed guide, we have gathered the common errors users encounter with this game and explain how to fix them effectively.

How do I fix Tropico 6 bugs and errors?

Before getting into more complicated solutions, make sure you perform the following preliminary steps:

• If you have an installation issue, exit Steam and restart your machine. Restart the installation, and verify your file integrity in the Steam client.
• For graphical tearing problems, disable the vertical sync since it can reduce graphical tearing. If, after this, you are facing tearing or related bugs while playing Tropico 6, we suggest you toggle vertical sync to back on in your game settings.

1. Audio issues

Firstly, try changing your audio from surround sound to stereo. On your desktop, just right-click on the speaker icon on the bottom right corner of your screen and select Sounds.

Head on over to Playback and disable all the sound devices except the internal speaker or the speaker which you wish to use. This should get rid of most audio-related Tropico 6 bugs for good.

2. Black screen issues

For this issue, try running the game in windowed mode to see if it happens again. If this doesn’t help, click on Verify or Repair Tropico 6 in your Steam client.

In the event that the issue is not resolved, uninstall and reinstall your game.

3. Start-up game crashes

1. Launch Steam and right-click on Tropico 6.
2. Next, choose Properties and select Local Files.
3. Now, click Uninstall.
4. Once the game is uninstalled, click on Browse Local Files and delete the remaining file. The last step is reinstalling Tropico 6.

4. Out-of-memory error

1. Press the Windows key, type control, and select the Control Panel option.
2. Choose System and Security.
3. Now, click on System.
4. Next, click on Advanced System Settings.
5. Choose the Virtual Memory window, and uncheck Automatically manage paging file size for all drives.
6. Tick the Custom size radio button.
7. Finally, enter the Initial and Maximum memory sizes that would help you in running the game smoothly.

5. Tropico 6 stutter

For this, you’re going to disable the latest DirectX version and restart your game. Keep in mind that stuttering can sometimes be related to driver issues.

The latest driver is not working well with the game, and in this case, we’d recommend you fall back to an older version of the drivers you’re using.
