#1 Planet Coaster Crashes
A lot of players are encountering constant and random crashes in the game. They get this crashes in like 20 minutes from getting in the game but sometimes they play it for just a few minutes and BAM the game crashes. It seems that this issue was not in the alpha version of the game and that it appeared now.
Users are encountering crashes both in career mode and in sandbox mode. There are also some crashes when the game tries to autosave or when it’s reloaded. All these types of crashes are making the game unplayable, and you can’t do anything because you will lose progress everytime your game crashes and you need to start all over again.
To fix this issue and play the game read the workarounds below and also apply the best solution, you can find it after the workarounds, and your crashes will be fixed.
1) Make sure your PC meets the minimum system requirements for Planet Coaster.
You can find them in the post, above.
2) Update your graphics driver.
It’s always good practice to ensure you’re using the latest drivers for your card. Here’s some useful links:
http://www.nvidia.co.uk/Download/index.aspx – Any Nvidia card, including mobile.
http://support.amd.com/en-us/download – All AMD cards and APUs.
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/ – All Intel Chips (please note that we still don’t officially support Intel chips currently).
3) Clean reinstall your graphics driver to ensure there are no installation problems causing crashes.
With Nvidia graphics drivers you can select the ‘Custom’ installation option and then tick ‘Perform a clean install’. The installer will instruct you through the rest of the process automatically.
For other drivers, we recommend using Display Driver Uninstaller. It will remove your existing driver so you can install the new one without any possible conflicts.
4) Ensure your game files are installed correctly.
This is nice and easy, simply follow Steam’s guide on verifying your installation.
Best solution: The best solution to fix the game crashes and play the game is to apply our patch to your game. Our patch will optimize your game and it won’t crash anymore. For more details go to the end of the post!
If you’re still experiencing crashes then we want to know! Please submit every crash report you come across and make sure to include as much detail as you can. Include notes on what you were doing as well as some specifics about your park that you think may be useful for our QA team to know. We’re aware of some causes for the game to crash but we’ll keep monitoring all incoming crash reports to ensure we catch as many as we can.
#2 Planet Coaster Performance Issues
Frame rate issues like low fps and fps drops are the most encountered performance issues of the game. If you have one of these issues, you might be unable to get over 20-30 FPS or sometimes your FPS drops very low and you can’t play the game.

To fix the performance issues of the game, try to do what the player below did with his game and also apply the best solution and your framerate will be constant and high.
Hmm. I have a GTX 1080 also, but I’m running older drivers (375.70) and not running into this issue. You might try those, though it is going to be harder to compare given how much one person’s park can vary from another (unless you also get the bad framerate when loading up the campaign map when it is in its beginning state).
If you are running Windows 10, you might see if any updates are pending. If so, run them manually and reboot. On my computer, sometimes it becomes slower when Windows 10 has updates pending but it has not yet applied them.
FWIW, I just loaded my 3-star Pirate Battle map with ~1200 guests and I get 60 fps except when I’m panning the camera over crowds. When panning over a long queue line, it can temporarily drop down as low as 30 but then jumps up again when I stop moving. I don’t have a ton of scenery and stuff, I have some, but I’m not as creative as some people so none of that fancy-looking stuff like you see in the Workshop. I also have a different CPU than you do.
Solution for Performance Issues: To fix the performance issues of the game, either if you have low fps, fps drops or any other issue, check the tutorial at the end of the post. For more details, go there now!
#3 Planet Coaster Not Starting Bug

There is nothing wrong with my specs, and there is absolutely nothing after steam tells me it’s launching the game.
