How to Fix Little Nightmares Fatal Error?
- Compatibility Problems
Almost all the players running into this issue have mentioned that they were using AMD processors and because of the compatibility issue, the game won’t work properly. However, there is one thing you can do to fix the compatibility issue on your PC.
Start by downloading the SDE external files for Little Nightmares from the internet. Extract the file and then copy the contents inside the folder. Then paste them onto your Win64 folder which will be located in your Little Nightmares Binaries. Now, use the windows search bar to access the command prompt as admin.
Navigate to the Win64 folder using the cd commands and then start the game as admin on your PC. After launching the game, you will have to use the tasklist command to see all the executable files. Now, you’ll notice that there is a number in front of the Little Nightmares executable file.
You need to keep this number in mind and then use the “sde -attach-pid XXXX” command. Make sure to replace “XXXX” with the number that was in front of your Nightmares file. After typing in the command, you just have to press enter and then launch the game again and it should start working.
- Reinstall Little Nightmares
If you’re running into this issue even though you’re not on an AMD processor then it would be best if you could reinstall the game on your PC. Luckily, the game files are not that large and it won’t take you much time to download the game again. So, to fix the error, uninstall the game from your PC and then use the client to download the game again. That should get everything working again and you will be able to play Little Nightmares again.
But if the issue is still there after you reinstall the game, then you need to seek help from official support. You should send a ticket with your system specs and a description of the error. Then they will take a look at your ticket and guide you accordingly.
The Bandai Namco support is very responsive and a member from the official support will be with you in no time. So, if there is an issue with your game, you can ask them for help and they will guide you through a few possible fixes.
- Change Processor
The main reason why you’re running into this issue is that you have compatibility issues with the game. As long as you’re on an AMD processor you will have to deal with this problem every time you launch the game. The first method mentioned above will help you deal with this issue temporarily and you can use that few hours to end the game.
However, if you’re annoyed by the problem then you can always switch up the processor on your PC. So, if you were looking for a processor upgrade then make sure not to buy from AMD to avoid compatibility issues like this.
Even though AMD processors are great, they can still cause issues like these. You can also use another PC to play the game for a few hours. That way you will be able to end the game and complete all the achievements. Ideally, you should be able to run the game on an AMD processor after using the SDE external files on your PC.
So, make sure to follow the steps mentioned in the first method and you shouldn’t have further problems with the Fatal Error. However, if you’re still having the same problem then asking for support is your best bet.
