Open command line. 2. In the "Run" window, type the cmd command (you can also do this through the task manager)\ \- open **cmd** (command prompt) as **administrator**. 3. Copy and paste the following command: **mbr2gpt.exe /convert /allowfullOS** [![image.png.48c38becb2b93d705e48ab8f066fc9a2.png](https://crooked-arms.com/uploads/monthly_2022_09/image.png.48c38becb2b93d705e48ab8f066fc9a2.png)](https://crooked-arms.com/uploads/monthly_2022_09/image.png.48c38becb2b93d705e48ab8f066fc9a2.png) 4. After we turn off the PC and go into the BIOS. **How to enter the BIOS?** * You need to press a certain key on the keyboard, or a combination of keys, it depends on the computer manufacturer. 5. To go to the BOOT menu on a desktop computer, press the Del key at boot, in rare cases - F2. * The parameters we need are in the BOOT section, at the top of the list. We go to this section, and look for the "Storage Boot Option" parameter - set it to "UEFI". There should also be a parameter "Other PCI devices" - also set to "UEFI".

In this case, do not worry, just go to Google and write the following query: ("name of the manufacturer of the board / model" legacy to UEFI) *** **Restart your system and try again (Hyper-V) Error** * Go back to step 7 of the guide.

Some proven fixes and causes: * Lower graphics settings – the game is experiencing a RAM leak, which can only be fixed by the developers themselves. * Disable cross-platform support in the game settings. * Disable "overclocking your PC" in the BIOS and your graphics card settings. * Very important: disable background applications such as MSI Afterburner, AutoHotKey, EVGA Precision X1Punto Switcher, and ASUS GPU Tweak II (if enabled). * Try disabling AMD Radeon Relive (or any other Radeon app) in the bottom right corner to make sure it's not there. * Similarly, disable the "Nvidia Control Panel" near the clock. * Disable "Game Mode" in Windows 10, if enabled. * Reinstall shaders – there's a "Reinstall shaders" option in the game settings. * Check the game for broken files, and It's better to delete the game files except for the folders (they weigh 200 MB), but they will be redownloaded and perhaps the ones you need will work. *** **Vcruntime140.dll Error** * [**Check VCRuntime Error page**](https://deathless-services.gitbook.io/deathless-services/troubleshooting/vcruntime-error) * **Reinstall** [**DirectX drivers**](https://crooked-arms.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=203) *** **ContentAccessDenied Error** **Option #1** * You need to use a VPN * After the successful launch of the software (turn off the VPN, only then start the game). **Option # 2** * Change DNS networks * Try [Cloudflare 1.1.1.1](https://one.one.one.one/)
