# PUBG Mobile crashes at every match start (Classic / WoW modes)

After successfully launching PUBG Mobile through GameLoop / TAC and queuing into a match, the emulator crashes the instant the match starts loading. The crash reproduces in every mode — Classic, WoW, even custom rooms — and forces the user to reopen the emulator from scratch.


  "Why does my game crash every time I start a match, regardless of the mode (Classic, WoW, etc.)? It crashes at the beginning, and I have to reopen the emulator." — MIRON
  "Yes...but every time start a classic match...gameloop crashing" — Sajeewa
  Same problem reproduces across multiple users on different hardware.
  The lobby UI is responsive — crash happens specifically during match-start loading.


Root cause: PUBG's match-start loading triggers TAC's anti-cheat to validate the runtime environment. If validation fails (most common: missing virtualization features or corrupt cache), TAC's safer path is a hard exit rather than letting the user join.
