GUN: How to Fix Crash to Desktop

To play the game without crashes, you have to follow ALL steps and sections of the guide. You will be done when you have done everything all the way until you start reading the source section and not a line before.

1. Open your Steam library -> Right-click “Gun” -> Click “Properties” -> Click “Local files” tab -> Click “Browse Local Files”
2. Right-click “Gun” executable -> Click “Properties” -> Select “Run as administrator” -> Click “Apply” -> Click “OK”

We have to add the game to your antivirus / firewall software exception / trusted list. Since for each Antivirus the path to do this is different, select your antivirus in the list I made of the most used antiviruses at the moment of this post. If you use Windows Defender as your antivirus, skip this list and read the Windows Defender steps.

HOW TO ADD AN EXCEPTION TO YOUR ANTIVIRUS
• AVG[support.avg.com]
• Bitdefender[www.bitdefender.com]
• McAfee[smallbusiness.chron.com]
• Norton[support.norton.com]
  If you antivirus isn’t listed here, you have to search it online. Simply type “[Your antivirus name here] add exception” in Google.

For Windows Defender:

1. Press “WINDOWS” key -> Click “Settings” -> Find “Exclusions” -> Click “Add an exclusion”
2. Click “Exclude a folder” -> Locate and select GUN folder (by default, unless you installed somewhere else it’s at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common) -> Click “Exclude this folder”
3. Click “Exclude a file” -> Locate and select “Gun” executable (by default, unless you installed somewhere else it’s at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GUN) -> Click “Exclude this file”
