PES 2013 crashes and black screens
“Plane crash” in the search box is treated here as a misspelling or a translation of “the game crashes”, not as an aircraft bug. One page covers PC, Winlator, GameHub and PPSSPP. None of the steps promise a cure.
Try this order on Windows
- Install the game again from a copy you own, after noting which patch folder you added.
- Update the graphics driver. A 2012 DirectX 9 game still needs a driver that agrees to start it.
- Run the executable in a compatibility mode aimed at Windows 7, the last OS on Konami’s list.
- Confirm DirectX and the Visual C++ libraries Windows Report mentions for this family of PES crashes.
- Close overlays and recording tools. A generic freeze checklist puts background apps next to drivers and bad game files.
That order is a merge of a Windows 10 write-up about several PES editions and a generic freeze list. It is not a Konami support article. If step one deleted a patch you still want, reinstall the patch from the author after the base game launches. The patches page has the order: base, 1.04, option file, season pack.
Symptoms that have a specific note
| Symptom | Where it shows up | What to try | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crash on Windows 10 or 11 | Several PES editions, including 2013 | The order above | 1 source |
| Master League or Become a Legend calendar dies | A PESEdit file title | Author’s fix file. The page returned an error, so steps are unknown | Title only |
| Android PPSSPP black screen | Compatibility thread | Other rendering backend, stay near 480×272 | 1 source |
| Match runs too fast in Winlator | Winlator PES page | Turn the frame limiter on | 1 source |
| Pad ignored | Winlator and GameHub notes | Controller checklist to DirectX | 1 source |
GameHub import failures are often the wrong build of GameHub, not a broken PES file. The Play Store build streams Steam. The site build imports a local PC game. That distinction is on the GameHub page. Do not “fix” it by downloading an APK named after the football game.
Questions
What is a PES 2013 plane crash?
The measured phrase is treated as “the game crashes”. Use the Windows order. There is no aircraft system in this football game.
The career crashes. Is there a file?
PESEdit advertised an ML/BAL crash fix. The page did not open on the check date, so this site does not host or describe the file’s steps.
