Replicant level – boot error – game will not start – repair
But as we all know, AAA games these days can’t do without bugs and glitches. Nier Replicant, like Automata, is no different. Recently, many players have complained about the game not working after a short period of play. While some couldn’t even start the game via Steam. And this problem has nothing to do with their computer equipment. That’s why we decided to consolidate all community-recommended fixes in one place, so players don’t have to search for them in different sources.
Troubleshooting and startup
Before you go any further in this guide. I just want to let you know that Nier Replicant’s DRM includes Denuvo Anti-Tamper from a third party.
If you have no idea what it is, let me tell you that Denuvo is an anti-piracy technology and digital rights management system known for protecting games from piracy. It’s known to cause terrible performance issues in games, and the problems you’re experiencing with Nier Replicant are probably due to Denuvo.
Are you using Windows 10?
If not, there is no need to read this guide as Nier Replicant only supports Windows 10 64-bit. That’s not what I’m saying. That’s what it says on the Nier Replicant Steam page. Look at this:
Method 1 – Check your graphics card’s software and make sure it is up to date.
Method 3 – Management approach
If you have problems starting the game, try running the .EXE file or executable outside Steam in administrator mode:
- Navigate to the next directory or to the location where the game is installed:
FilesSteamAppsSamenReplicant Program - Then open the x64 or x86 folder that corresponds to your computer.
- Finally, run the Nier Replicant .exe file as an administrator by right clicking on it and selecting Run as administrator……
Method #2 – Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable
Make sure you have Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable installed. If you don’t have it, you can install it from here.
Method #4 – Is there a conflict between your antivirus software and Nier replicant?
If you go to the Nier Replicant Steam talk page, you will see that many people have reported that their anti-virus software has flagged the game’s executable or .exe file as a virus, blocking it.
Antivirus software penetrates very deeply into users’ systems and can degrade hard drive and network performance, causing games to fail. Some games also use copy protection technologies that can resemble malware from AV scanners, which can lead to false positives.
Try disabling the antivirus temporarily and then starting the game, or adding exceptions for Nier Replicant in your antivirus settings.
If you are using Windows Defender instead of third-party antivirus software, you can add Replicant to the Windows Defender exclusion list by performing the following steps:
- Go to Windows 10 settings
- Click on Update and Security
- Select Windows Security from the left sidebar
- Click on Virus and Threat Protection
- In the Virus and Threat Protection section, click Manage Settings.
- In the Exceptions section, click Add or remove exceptions.
- Click on the Add Exception button
- Select the file
- Select the Nier Replicant .exe or executable file.
- Restart your computer
Method #5 – Verify the integrity of the game file
- Steam Library
- Right-click on Deny Replicant and select Properties.
- Select the LOCAL FILES tab and click on DELETE GAME FILES….
- Beginning of the game session
Method 6 – Reinstall the game
This should be the last repair you attempt. If something isn’t working properly, do a fresh install of Nier Replicant. Yeah, I know it’s not the most comfortable move. But believe me, it’s the right thing to do in this situation.
I’ll keep an eye on the forums for other possible solutions. But given the way Nier Automata’s launch went, I’m sure it will ultimately come down to the developers’ solutions.
