Low FPS, Game crashes, General issues? Check here!
By Caliđa Myriad and 1 collaborators
Hello,today I will be giving a quick run down on how to fix FPS issues, and the similar, seeing that a Guide may be useful.
Have any issues? Any crashes/bugs? This should be the place to look. I'm aware, that's not a good image, I had to select one, All that matters is if the guide is helpful.
Disclaimer: Some issues may be related to computer software/hardware/firewalls, for these issues, I suggest looking it up on Steam's actual support page, I do not claim to help with any of the previously mentioned issues.
Disclaimer-b:I am not responsible for Any damage that *COULD* occur, but how would you manage that? Be sure to follow the steps CAREFULLY.
Disclaimer-C: I also am not going to accept any direct Friend request for support issues,for One reasons; I have stopped accepting friend request,For as such, I am to not accept friend request. Thanks!

Now with Images!

I must add this information, I would highly suggest ensuring that XNA Framework and NET Framework are properly installed, you can get them Here [www.microsoft.com]

Also make sure Direct X[support.microsoft.com] is up to date.

Ensure that your Graphics card drivers are up to date, that's an Important step to any trouble shooting issue.


"You may need to update your DirectX or the Steam DirectX checker isn't triggering properly for some reason." I heavily suggest checking this


Two of these were gotten from This Thread Namely, the ones in Quotation marks. Ensure to follow those too.
Verifying game cache
Verifying Integrity of game cache
Verification of game cache can be the most effective (or one of the) ways to fix your games, this will apply to any and all games, not just Shellshock live.

Verify Integrity of game cache
If anything ever seems strange in a game [ I.e Lower FPS, Weird Physics] It can always be a good idea to Verify game cache.
  • Right click Shellshock live
  • Go into "Properties"
  • go into local files
  • and Hit "Verify Game Integrity of game cache"
    This may take a few minutes to an hour depending on your PC.
    This will automatically Reinstall any missing/any corrupted files.



List of issues it May fix
  • Pink boxes/ squares over Everything
  • Extremely low quality textures/FPS
  • Crash to desktops (CTD)
  • "error lobby 53,54,56 failed to create lobby"
  • Spinning aim
  • Random "Round skips" (I.e, one minute you are in the round, the second it is the enemies turn and you take tons of damage in a short time)
    - A error goes here,
    - here,
    -here,
    -and here

Or an Imagery guide,I cannot show the getting to properties menu, but you should know howGo here
Then The bottom one.
Full Reinstall/Reinstall
Reinstalling your game
Generally one of the most under-looked Ways to fix a game, this is also one of the most effective ways to fix a game. Here are some other ways you can fix your game.



Reinstall your game
  • Right click Shellshock in your steam Library, now click "Delete local content"
  • And reinstall it, Also fairly quick fix.

Full reinstall your game
    A full Reinstall works like this.
  • Right click it in your library,
  • Go into "Properties" And the "Local files"
  • Now go into "Browse local files"
  • And delete all but one File
  • then Uninstall Shellshock the same way as above.
    This SHOULD in theory be a full reinstall
This time, you are looking at "Uninstall game... or "Browse local files".
Steamworks not initialized Fix
Relaunch your computer
This explains It's self Should fix the "Steamworks not initialized" issue."


Reboot steam
To do this; See that arrow in the bottom right corner of your screen (Or however your task bar is set) that is pointed "UP" with the time near it? Click onto that, you should see The steam icon, right click that and hit "Exit steam" Now relaunch steam and you should be good to go!


Try launching steam & The game in admin mode
This is easy enough to do, Right click steam before launching it. and set it to "Launch as administrator" Same for shellshock.
FPS fixes
If you ever have any FPS issues that are not involved with specs,game issues, or any other under-laying problem, Check this one!
If you have any FPS fixes, This is the place to check!

A bit of an update here.
It appears that shellshock runs at 1.2 GB of ram [Tested thus far twice.] And this could potentially be the cause for some FPS.
I'd suggest reporting back to this guide with your RAM usage from ShellShockLive.exe ONLY
If it exceeds 1.0 GB of Usage, Then we can confirm this as a reason for low FPS. ONLY on weaker computers however.
If you exceed atleast 8 GB of ram, Please check still; But this could be the trace back for something much bigger.


Open Shellshock live. (Get to the games menu)
  • Alt tab/Crtl+alt+delete
  • And open task manager.
  • Go into "Processes"
  • Find "ShellShockLive.exe" in your Task Manager.
  • Right click it in Task Manager
  • Hit "Set Priority"
  • Set it to "Above Average" -OR- "High"
  • Join a match and see if this fixes the issue.

Close background programs
That random browser you have open, that text document, And that calculator, Closing those will add a huge pref. boost to your game. Also close steams friend list, chat-box, and Minimize Steam.

This is all you are looking for on task manager, Processes, Then find ShellShockLive.exe (I found It's name) And set it to a higher priority.
Last but not least!
Submitting a Steam support ticket
DO NOT use this unless you are Truly stuck on how to fix the issue, and if you are 100% certain it is a game issue not a computer issue. To submit a steam support ticket Look up to the top of your steam client right now, See it yet? Above Library, Look closely "Help" Now go-to steam support, From there it is straight forward Also use this menu to get your Computer specs to further Trace back your issue.


Any other information relevant to issues?
Low FPS Can be things alternate from PC specs/Game issues.
IT can also be what you are currently running, to check your Memory usage Open task manager and click onto Performance, this will let you view if you are overworking your computer.
DO NOT Reply to this Guide with useless "Plz help, my memory usage is at 99%. plz help"
To fix that, Close things like discord,Skype, And whatever else is not relevant to you at the time being. Anything under the term of Memory usage will be Ignored, This is mostly because it is Irrelevant to actual bugs/the game Thus said, DO NO post/comment those here. Always be sure of what your issue is before you diagnose it. But that does not mean to Post a pointless post, If you absolutely need help DO NOT ADD ME [Friends list is getting full as it is] Simply, Put your issues in a new discussion (see that "Start a new discussion button" on the "Discussion's tab" Use that!)
Where a fellow community member can help you.

This is where I am closing off this Guide for the time being, Feel free to reply to this Guide.

Added sources for information, and credits to the rightful suppliers.

No problem, I would say to also format C:/ (Or the driver SSL may be on.)
Or trying to reinstall steam, but those are a bit Drastic mesures.
Ens0rcell 23 Jun, 2017 @ 3:48pm 
Unfortunately neither of those things worked and shellshock live continues to say that steamworks i not initialized when launched. Maybe next time steam has an update the problem will fix itself. Thank you for your help.
Caliđa Myriad  [author] 23 Jun, 2017 @ 2:54pm 
One other thing I'll suggest is Deleting a single file in the Shellshock Directory, Verifying game cache and relaunching.
Caliđa Myriad  [author] 23 Jun, 2017 @ 2:53pm 
The best thing I can suggest? If the issue persist, try uninstalling shellshock (It's small.)

Relaunch your computer, then reinstall shellshock.
Also ensure Firewall or Antivirus/spyware programs are not blocking Shellshock or Steam

I would give more detailed tips, but as of now I have to get going really fast -- Sorry!
Ens0rcell 23 Jun, 2017 @ 12:12pm 
I am attempting to play shellshock which just got a a new update but whenever i try to launch it it says that steamworks snt initialized. I've tried for about and hour now to fix it doing everything suggested in this post as well as other solutions in the forums but no matter what I do the game still says steamworks not initialized. Pls help.
Caliđa Myriad  [author] 18 Jun, 2017 @ 1:48pm
