Combine that Splitgate is a thrill, fast-paced arena inspired by Halo but with portals and the fact that it is free-to-play and has exploded in popularity. Because of this, it has a large population which also means that with more players, bugs and issues become discovered and more prevalent.
One of these issues is the equ8 initialization error. The cause of this issue seems to be related to its anti-cheat software. While frustrating, there are a couple of solutions for players that are hit with this error. You can find these solutions below:
- Restart your computer and relaunch Steam.
- Select Splitgate and verify the integrity of its game files.
- Make sure Window's is up to date.
