PC: Crashing and Being Directed to 2K Code of Conduct

We're aware that some of you are crashing at launch or after a few minutes of gameplay and being directed to the 2K Code of Conduct.

This can also be caused by having any 3rd party programs running that are similar to these potential culprits:

• Memory editors i.e Cheat Engine(s)
• Cheat Tools and Trainers
• Network traffic analyzers
• Debuggers
• Steam emulators

If a tool is running actively or in the background that can provide an unfair advantage, modify game memory, or has replaced system/game DLLs, you may run into crashes.

Workaround: Closing any third-party programs, processes, or services that may be running, and ensuring you have the latest drivers installed and have restarted your PC, may help you regain access.
