Delta Force is a game that many players report crashing a lot when they try to play it. This is what one DF player said about the in-game crashing: “Delta Force keeps crashing… I downloaded Delta Force, and it worked perfectly fine for the first few games, then randomly started crashing.” Regular in-game crashing like that can make Delta Force hard to play. This is how you can fix regular in-game crashing on a Windows PC.
Turn Off DLSS
Some players have fixed regular in-game Delta Force crashing by turning off the DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) setting. DLSS is an AI feature for rendering at a lower resolution. You can turn off DLSS in Delta Force like this:
- Start the Delta Force game.
- Press Esc while playing Delta Force to select Settings.
- Click on the Graphics tab.
- Select Off for the Super Resolution Mode option.

- Click Apply to set the option.
Adjust In-Game Settings
Players also confirm they’ve fixed the Delta Force crashing by adjusting in-game settings. To be more specific, adjust the in-game options by setting a frame rate cap and lowering the general graphics preset. Go through steps one to three of the previous resolution and adjust the in-game settings as follows:
- Display mode: Full Screen
- V-Sync: Off
- In Match Frame Rate Cap: Select the value that best matches your monitor’s refresh rate (144 for a 144Hz monitor)
- Graphics preset: Low, Medium, or Recommended
Set a -Windowed Launch Options
Setting a -windowed launch option has fixed regular Delta Force crashing for some players. Applying this troubleshooting method will set the game to start in windowed mode. These are the steps for setting a -windowed launch option:
- Run the Steam program to open the Library tab in it.
- Right-click on the Delta Force game in the Library sidebar to select Properties.
- Input -windowed into the launch options text box.

Uninstall CPU-Z
Uninstalling CPU-Z is another way to fix regular in-game Delta Force crashing; some players say it has worked for them. Thus, it seems as though CPU-Z might conflict with the game’s anti-cheat software. If CPU-Z is installed on your PC, try uninstalling that software with a method in this Microsoft guide for removing apps.
