How to fix Sunless Sea on Windows 11
Make sure your Windows 11 is up to date to the latest version
If Sunless Sea is not loading on your Windows 11, then it might be due to lacking certain performance updates that often come with Windows 11 updates.
- Go to Settings > Windows update > Check for updates.
- Wait for your Windows to update, restart the PC and see if Sunless Sea is working.
Make sure your drivers are up to date as well
Sunless Sea might not be loading due to internal conflicts with your drivers. Make sure your drivers are up to date with the latest version. We’re interested in the video card, so make sure it’s updated.
- In the Search Bar, type in Device Manager and open it up.
- Once there, look for Display adapters, click on them, and select the video card.
- Right-click on the video card and select Update driver.
- Click on Search automatically for drivers, and let Windows 11 update your cards.
- After the process is done, restart your PC, and see if the game is loading.
Here it’s also recommended that you should update your video card drivers on the specific apps that are linked to your card. For example, NVIDIA has a specific app, from where you can update your video card. AMD has one as well. So use these apps to update your drivers, and always perform a restart of your PC for the updates to work.
