TL;DR
Table of Contents
If Among Us is crashing on your PC or mobile device, don’t panic! Try basic fixes like updating the game, updating your device, clearing cache, or reinstalling the app. Bigger issues? Try checking compatibility or background apps. Follow the steps below and you’ll be back in your spacesuit in no time!
1. Restart Your Game and Device
This might sound basic… but trust us.
- Quit the game completely.
- Restart your phone or computer.
- Try launching Among Us again.
Sometimes, your device just needs a clean start!
2. Update Everything
Outdated stuff causes tons of problems — here’s what you need to check:
- The Game: Go to the App Store, Google Play, or Steam. Look for updates.
- Your Software: Update your device’s operating system.
- Graphics Drivers (PC only): Make sure your GPU drivers are up to date.
Many crashes come from version mismatches. Stay current and stay in the game!
3. Check Your Internet Connection
Among Us might not crash, it might just freeze because your internet is wonky.
Try these steps:
- Disconnect and reconnect to Wi-Fi or mobile data.
- Switch to a different network if possible.
- Restart your router — the old “turn it off and on again” trick!
If your game only crashes when trying to join a lobby, it’s probably the internet.
4. Clear Cache (Mobile Fix)
On phones and tablets, the app cache can break things.
To clear it:
- Android: Go to Settings → Apps → Among Us → Storage → Clear Cache
- iOS: Reinstalling the app clears the cache (see below).
Over time, random files build up and make the game buggy. Clear them out!
5. Reinstall the Game
Still crashing? Try a fresh install.
- Uninstall Among Us
- Restart your device
- Reinstall the game from the official store
This removes corrupted files that could be breaking your game. Plus, it’s fast!
6. Lower Game Graphics (PC)
If your PC is older or low spec, Among Us might be too much for it on high settings.
Try this:
- Open the game
- Click the gear icon (Settings)
- Go to the Graphics tab
- Set graphics to Low
It may not be pretty, but at least it runs!
7. Close Background Apps
Too many apps open? They could be hogging memory.
- Close internet browsers
- Shut down music/video streaming apps
- End unnecessary tasks in Task Manager (PC)
Among Us needs a bit of room. Give it some space!
8. Check Device Compatibility
Make sure your device actually supports Among Us:
- Android: Needs Android 6.0 or higher
- iPhone: Needs iOS 13.0 or later
- PC: Needs Windows 10+ with at least 1GB RAM and 250MB free storage
If your device is too old, the game may never run smoothly — or at all.
9. Disable Mods (PC)
Mods are fun… until they break your game.
If you’re using mods, try turning them off:
- Remove or delete mod files from your Among Us directory
- Revert to the official version of the game
If your game works fine after, you found the problem!
10. Contact Support (Last Resort)
If you’ve tried everything and it’s still crashing, there’s one more thing:
- Visit Innersloth’s Contact Page
- Submit a support ticket
- Explain what happens and what device you’re using
They might ask for log files or screenshots, so have those ready.
Bonus Tips
- Use a wired internet connection on PC for stability
- Avoid using VPNs or proxies that might interfere with the connection
- Always launch the game through official platforms (Steam, Epic, App Store, Play Store)
These aren’t always game-breaking, but they do help prevent problems down the road.
Wrap-Up: Get Back to Sus-ing!
There you go! From simple restarts to deeper fixes, we hope one of these did the trick for you. Crashing games are no fun, but with a few tweaks, Among Us will be back to smooth gaming in no time. Now gather your crew, hop in the Skeld, and let the sus begin!
