  2. Under Processes tab, highlight Mafia Definitive Edition.
  3. Right click on Mafia Definitive Edition and select End Task.

Verify your PC can run Mafia Definitive Edition.

Mafia Definitive Edition only runs on Windows 10 64-bit OS. If your computer still has older Windows version, or if your Windows 10 is a 32-bit, this game won’t launch or may keep crashing.

Aside from having the right OS version, you also want to make sure that your PC meets the minimum system requirements for this game (this is for Steam version).

Generally, Windows programs are set to check for updates in the background but you can always check them manually yourself.

We recommend that you double check if drivers, programs, and Windows OS are all updated.
