Recommended Fixes for Model Builder Issues

There are lots of factors that may cause Model Builder crashes, black screen, lag, screen tearing, and stuttering. If you’re one of the Model Builder players having at least one of the mentioned issues, here are the recommended steps that you need to do to fix and address the problem.

Check Model Builder System Requirements

One of the main reasons for having Model Builder crashing and black screen issues are not meeting at least the recommended system requirements of the game. If you downloaded Model Builder without checking the requirements first, you can find the full system requirements below:

  • Memory: 16 GB RAM
  • Graphics: GPU: 8GB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060S / AMD Radeon RX 5700, or higher
  • DirectX: Version 12

For those who meet the requirements but still getting the issues mentioned above, below are the fixes that you can try.

Update Your Drivers

Model Builder is released in a good condition. If you meet the minimum requirements of the game, it’s likely that your outdated graphics driver is the main reason why Model Builder is crashing. We highly recommend getting the latest update for your PC. You can visit your hardware manufacturer’s official website to get the latest update for your device.

Manually downloading and installing drivers for your PC is time-consuming. For some, updating drivers may be a little bit complicated. For those who want an easier method, we recommend trying IObit’s Driver Booster to automatically download and fetch the latest and needed driver update for your PC. In our case, we used Driver Booster to update and fix the crashing and performance issues in Model Builder.

Verify Game Integrity

Assuming that you tried the two methods above but still experiencing some Model Builder issues, you can try verifying the game integrity of Model Builder. Using this process, Steam will scan all the needed files or fix any corrupted files associated with Model Builder.

  • Open Steam and go to Library.
  • Select Model Builder from the game list on the left side.
  • Right-click and select Properties.
  • Click the Local Files tab.
  • Click the Verify integrity of game files… button.

Right after clicking the verify button, all you have to do is wait until Steam completes the file verification for Model Builder.

Kill Resource-Hogging Applications

Chances are you have lots of applications installed on your PC. Some of these applications have been constantly using the resources that possibly trigger Model Builder crashing. We highly suggest closing the software that you are not using while playing Model Builder.

Some of the most popular software that eats lots of resources while in the background are Media Players, web browsers such as Firefox and Chrome,  and more. You can close these applications by closing them using the Task Manager.

Disable Antivirus

Another reason why Model Builder keeps on crashing on PC is your antivirus. Antivirus companies have been usually updating their software to enhance security. There’s a chance that Model Builder’s executable file (.exe) is being marked as a virus. Disable or temporarily disable your antivirus or any security programs on your computer. If you download the Model Builder from the official store, we’re 100% sure that the game files are safe. So, you have to exclude the .exe of Model Builder and see if the problem has been solved.

Contact the Official Support

If you’re still having some Model Builder issues after trying all the recommended fixes above, you can always reach the official support team of Rogue Legends. You can visit their official website or join the discussion on the Model Builder discussion community on Steam.
