Fixing the Rumbleverse Crash at launch issue
Some users have reported that they can’t seem to get into the game as it crashes when you launch it. It’s either immediately, or after the initial screen shows up. In most cases, when a game is crashing like this, it’s something on the user’s end that’s missing or corrupted. Try the following methods to fix that, and get into the game.

This will initiate a scan and will take a bit. The progress will be shown below the game. After it’s done, the client will download
