  • STEP 9. Now save the file, and try to run the game
  • STEP 10. If the issue still pops up, again open the .ini file and edit the MapMenu like below, in case if there is no MapMenu you have to add it like the below picture

3. Use the Registry Editor

  • STEP 1. In the start menu, search for regedit and open it
  • STEP 2. Once the registry editor opens navigate to the following path

  • STEP 5. Name it HungAppTimeout, nwo right click on the HungAppTimeout
