Mobile games and apps are super fun, and lots of us want to play them on bigger screens. That’s where emulators like LDPlayer come in handy. They let us play our favorite mobile games and use apps on our computers without needing a phone. Pretty cool, right?
But, sometimes, LDPlayer might act up and cause apps and games like TikTok, Wild Rift, Call of Duty Mobile, Blue Archive, and others to crash unexpectedly. Let’s figure out why this happens and how we can fix it.

Why do apps and games crash on LDPlayer?
First off, let’s think about why apps like TikTok might crash when you’re using LDPlayer. Emulators work by making your PC act like an Android device. But this process isn’t perfect and can run into a few issues:
- The version of TikTok or any other app might not play nice with the version of LDPlayer you have.
- LDPlayer needs a lot of your computer’s power. If your PC doesn’t have enough juice (RAM or CPU), things might not run smoothly.
- It’s possible the app files got messed up during installation, causing crashes.
- LDPlayer itself might have some bugs or glitches that need fixing.
- Other software on your computer could be messing with LDPlayer’s performance.
How to make apps stop crashing on LDPlayer?
Now that we know the possible causes, let’s tackle the fixes:
1. Keep everything up to date
Make sure both LDPlayer and your apps are the newest versions. Developers often release updates to fix problems.
- Start up LDPlayer.
- Click “System Apps” then “Google Play Store”.
- Look for your apps (like TikTok) to see if there’s an update. Update them if you can.
- Go to LDPlayer’s official website to check for a new version of the emulator. Or, in LDPlayer, go to “Menu” and click “Check for updates”.
2. Give LDPlayer more power
If your PC can handle it, give more RAM and CPU cores to LDPlayer.
- Open LDPlayer.
- Click on “Menu” at the top right and choose “Settings”.
- Go to “Advanced”.
- Boost the CPU and RAM settings.
- Restart LDPlayer to see the changes.

3. Try reinstalling the app
If an app keeps crashing, try uninstalling and then reinstalling it.
- In LDPlayer, press and hold the app icon (like TikTok) until a menu shows up.
- Hit “Uninstall”.
- After it’s gone, head to the “Google Play Store” and put it back on.
4. Look out for other software that might cause trouble
Close any apps that use a lot of your computer’s power when you’re using LDPlayer. This could be video editing software or big games.

5. Clean up or start fresh
If nothing else works, you might need to clear the disk cache or make a new LDPlayer instance for a clean slate.
How to clear the disk cache:
Clearing the disk cache might fix minor glitches causing the crashes.
- Start LDPlayer.
- Click on “Settings”.
- Head to “Advanced”.
- Look for “Clear disk cache”.
- Hit “Clear now” and wait.
Note: This might also delete some app data, so you might have to download things again.
How to create a new LDPlayer instance:
Another fix is to make a new LDPlayer instance, which is like starting fresh with a new Android setup.
- Open the LDPlayer Multi-Instance Manager. It’s a separate app that comes with LDPlayer.
- Hit “Add instance” and choose “New or Clone instance” to create a new one.
- Start the new instance and install your apps again.
Note: With a new instance, you’ll have to reinstall apps and set things up from scratch.
Common errors when LDPlayer crashes
When LDPlayer crashes, you might see certain error messages. Here’s what they could mean:
- “LDPlayer app keeps stopping”: This could mean LDPlayer is struggling because your computer doesn’t have enough resources, there’s a compatibility issue, or the app data is corrupt.
- “LDPlayer invalid virtual disk”: This suggests a problem with the virtual disk LDPlayer uses, maybe due to corrupt data or storage issues on your computer.
- “LDPlayer not showing application installed”: If you can’t see an app you’ve installed, it could be an issue with LDPlayer’s interface or the app installation process.
- “LDPlayer stuck at 50 percent”: This could happen if there’s a conflict with your system settings, a problem with LDPlayer’s cache, or other software messing with LDPlayer.
- “LDPlayer write data denied”: This points to a permission problem. LDPlayer might not have the right to write data to certain places because of user restrictions or other software.
Knowing these errors can help you fix the problem more quickly.
Make LDPlayer run better
Besides fixing crashes, you can also make LDPlayer run smoother by tweaking some settings.
1. Adjust graphics settings
Graphics settings are big for game and app performance. Lowering them can make things run smoother.
- Go to “Settings” in LDPlayer.
- Find the “Advanced” tab.
- Try a lower resolution or change the “Frame rate” to see if it improves performance.

2. Limit background processes
Close apps you’re not using, both on your PC and in LDPlayer, to free up resources.

3. Turn on Virtualization Technology (VT)
VT makes emulators like LDPlayer run better by using your computer’s hardware more efficiently. Make sure it’s turned on in your computer’s BIOS settings.
- Restart or turn on your PC.
- Press the key to enter BIOS/UEFI setup (like Del, F2, F10, F12, or Esc) as your computer starts.
- In the BIOS/UEFI, look for a menu named “Advanced”, “Chipset”, “Processor”, or “CPU Configuration”.
- Find the option for “Virtualization Technology” and turn it on.
- Save your changes and restart.
Note: If you’re not comfortable messing with BIOS settings, ask someone who knows their way around computers for help.

Conclusion
Crashes in LDPlayer, like in any emulator, often come down to compatibility issues or the need for updates. Sometimes, a simple update can fix everything. But if you keep running into problems, the tips we talked about should help sort things out and make your gaming and app experience a lot smoother.
