Why does my computer hate this game for some reason?
I’m so nervous to play Cursed Mode because my computer has a tendency to completely crash. It is only with this game: It handles Silksong, TBOI, and several other high-performance games with no problems, including emulators. But as soon as I boot up Look Outside, it just… sometimes gives up.
It’s completely random. I could play for a few hours without issue, or have it crash on me after 5 minutes (which once happened to me twice in rapid succession). It’s semi-rare, but the fact that the computer crashes at all is what makes me so nervous to try Cursed Mode.
My partner and I have played through the game several times on both Easy and Normal Mode, so it’s not like we’re completely impatient with the crashes. But with the increased difficulty, we’re getting cold feet all over again. And it’s not a piece of junk computer either; it’s a $1300 gaming laptop that I just had cleaned by a professional about a week ago.
Is there anyone with more computer knowledge who can tell me what might be causing this issue and what to do to fix it? I’d greatly appreciate any help.
