Players have reported a variety of issues with Tiny Tina’s Wonderland, including glitches and general game crashes.

It’s rare to find a game that works perfectly from the jump in 2022. The majority of titles have one issue or another whether it’s the usual crashing, an issue with the game’s servers, or difficulty playing with a controller. Unfortunately for Gearbox Software, Tiny Tina’s Wonderland has joined that list in more ways than one.

Below, we’ve explained a few of the most common issues facing players of Tiny Tina’s Wonderland.

How to Fix Tiny Tina’s Wonderland Crashing on Startup

The most frustrating issue players have been commenting about is the game’s inability to load at all or, once it launches, immediately crashing. There are a few things players can check to make sure it’s running under the optimal conditions.

  • Be sure you’re running on Windows 10 or above.
  • Check to see if your operating system is up to date for its version.
  • Note which DirectX version you’re running—preferably 12 or, at least, 11.

From here, there are a few issues that could be causing the crash: DirectX12, CPU overworking, and an anti-virus block. The latter, of cause, can be remedied by temporarily disabling the system’s anti-virus software and/or fire wall.

We’ve broken down the two former issues, below:

Tiny Tina “DirectX12 Not Supported” Fix

If the game simply is refusing the use DirectX12, players can force it to run DirectX11, instead.

There are a few reasons why Tiny Tina’s Wonderland would be rejecting DirectX12 but the most common of these is due to an outdated operating systems—e.g.: Windows 7 or 8.

To have the game run through DirectX11 instead of DirectX12:

  1. Locate Epic Launch Settings.
  2. Find “Tiny Tina’s Wonderland” in the listed games.
  3. Select “Additional Command Line Arguments.”
  4. Type in “-dx11” beneath the heading.
  5. Save and close the settings.

Tiny Tina CPU Overclocking Fix

This error can be thrown from a variety of catalysts. Essentially, it has to do with players potentially overworking their PC. We’ve provided a few ways players can minimize that impact:

  • Close any other miscellaneous and/or auxiliary software currently running—yes, unfortunately, this may include streaming software.
  • Disable any gaming overlays currently active, including NVIDIA and Epic.
  • Limit the game’s FPS to 60 or 30 depending on the desired quality.

If these above fixes don’t work, players can also dig into the game’s program files and delete a troublesome trio that may be the root of the problem:

  1. Press the Windows key + R.
  2. In the search box, type “%localappdata%/Tiny Tina’s Wonderland/Saved” to locate data saved on the device by the game. This will prompt a pop-up box.
  3. There should be three files left in that box. Delete all three.

Tiny Tina’s Wonderland also has a collection of multiplayer issues regarding the SHiFT network that are currently being resolved by the developer at the time of writing.
