Many game-related issues, including crashes and performance problems, can be caused by outdated or corrupted graphics drivers. To check if this is the issue for you, try updating your graphics driver.

Here's how to do it:
Use your graphics card's driver application: If you have a dedicated app for your graphics card (like NVIDIA GeForce Experience, AMD Radeon Software, or Intel Driver & Support Assistant), open it and check for any available driver updates.
Manually update through the manufacturer's website: If you don't have a driver application installed, go to the official website of your graphics card's manufacturer:
Once there, navigate to the Support or Downloads section, search for your specific graphics card model, and download the latest driver version.
