Graveyard Keeper 2 Troubleshooting: Crashes, Saves, and FPS

Start Graveyard Keeper 2 troubleshooting with the official support checklist: save often, restart the game, check known issues, confirm that the platform is updated, and verify the game files where the platform supports it. The right fix depends on whether the problem is a crash, low performance, a missing save, a launch failure, or a console authorization issue.

Start With the Basic Checks

Save before testing a workaround, then restart the game and the platform client. Check the official Known Issues page for the exact symptom, because a current bug may have a workaround that is safer than changing files manually. If the game recently updated, record the version before testing so you can tell whether the behavior changed after the patch.

If the issue is a missing interaction, a frozen quest, or a production station that will not work, reload a recent save first. Do not overwrite every save with the broken state. A short description of the quest, location, platform, and steps that reproduce the issue is more useful than a general report that the game “does not work.”

PC Troubleshooting

The official support page recommends checking that the PC meets the minimum hardware requirements, lowering graphics quality or resolution, updating GPU drivers and Windows, temporarily disabling overlays, and verifying the game files. The support note identifies Unity 6 and Windows 10 version 21H1 or newer as part of the compatibility context; check the current support page for any revised requirement.

Overlays from graphics utilities, Discord, or other platform tools can interfere with launch or rendering. Disable them one at a time so you know which change mattered. If the problem is low FPS rather than a crash, start with resolution and quality settings before deleting configuration files or changing unrelated system options.

Console Troubleshooting

The official guidance differs by platform. On PlayStation, restoring licenses and clearing the system software cache are listed checks. On Xbox, a full restart and, where relevant, moving the game to the console’s internal drive can help. On Nintendo Switch, restart from the Power Options menu, check for corrupt data, update the system, and consider resetting the cache only after understanding what cached information will be removed.

Do not apply a console-specific workaround to a PC save or assume that reinstalling will repair a cloud-sync issue. First identify the platform, whether the problem affects one save or every save, and whether the game opens far enough to use its in-game reporting tool.

Save Files and Crash Reports

For PC, the official support page lists the save and log directory under:

%USERPROFILE%/AppData/LocalLow/Lazy Bear Games/Graveyard Keeper 2

It also lists crash logs under:

%USERPROFILE%/AppData/Local/Temp/Lazy Bear Games/Graveyard Keeper 2/Crashes

Back up the folder before moving or renaming anything. The path is for Windows; do not present it as a macOS or console save location. If the game cannot open, provide the support team with the platform, error message, steps to reproduce, save files where appropriate, and the relevant log rather than uploading private files to an untrusted forum.

When to Contact Support

Contact official support when the basic checks do not resolve the issue, the same save reproduces the error, or the problem involves a crash, corrupted data, a missing transfer, or a quest that cannot progress. The support instructions recommend using the in-game reporting tool when possible, including screenshots or video, and supplying exact reproduction steps.

This page deliberately does not promise a fix for every known issue. Patch status, console behavior, and save compatibility can change. A good troubleshooting article tells the player what to check safely, what evidence to collect, and when to stop experimenting with valuable save data.
