“Fixing Slow LDPlayer Startup”
If LDPlayer takes too long to open, this entry lists three possible fixes. The first applies when LDPlayer has opened before. The second applies to the first launch and points to the graphics driver. The third applies when the first two do
Before You Start
Prerequisites: Identify any instance data you need to keep. Removing an instance deletes its data.
Step-by-Step
- Open LDMultiplayer.
- Remove the instance that starts slowly. This deletes the data stored in that instance.
- Start LDPlayer and check whether the launch time improves.
- Update your graphics driver. See [Updating the graphics driver](how-to-update-the-graphics-driver.md).
- Start LDPlayer again.
- Uninstall your antivirus software. Examples named by the publisher are Avast, 360, and Kingsoft.
- Restart the computer.
- Reinstall LDPlayer.
## Overview If LDPlayer takes too long to open, this entry lists three possible fixes. The first applies when LDPlayer has opened before. The second applies to the first launch and points to the graphics driver. The third applies when the first two do not help. Work through them in order.
## Verify Start LDPlayer and compare the launch time with your earlier startups.
## Which case applies to you
If LDPlayer has opened on this PC before, start with the first step. If the slow start happens on the first launch after installing, start with the graphics driver. Use the antivirus step only when the first two steps do not help.
## What the publisher says causes this
According to the publisher, a corrupted instance can follow an abnormal shutdown of the PC. A graphics driver problem can also cause a slow first launch. The publisher also lists antivirus software as a last fix to try. These causes come from the publisher’s documentation, and we have not reproduced them on our own install.
## What to expect
After you remove an instance, its apps, accounts, and saved progress in that instance are gone. You can create a new instance and sign in again. Compare the launch time with your earlier startups to judge whether a step helped.
## Notes and Troubleshooting
- Removing an instance deletes its data. Back up anything you need first.
- Removing antivirus software leaves your PC without that protection. Try the other steps first. For antivirus-related lag, see the solution to the lag resulting from anti-virus software.
- Needs review: source content is limited. The causes in this entry come from the publisher’s documentation. We have not reproduced them.
## Common mistakes
- Removing an instance without a backup. Back up the data you need before you remove an instance.
- Downloading a driver from an unknown site. Get the driver from your graphics vendor’s support page.
- Removing antivirus first. Try the driver and instance steps first, because removing antivirus lowers protection.
