ARC Raiders exit code 0 or 0x1: run as administrator (fix)
Written by

October 7, 2026
ARC Raiders crashes and closes with an exit code of 0 or 0x1 (for example "terminated with exitcode: 0x1").
Also appears as: exit code 0, exit code 0x1, exitcode: 0x1, exitcode: 0, arc raiders exit code 0x1, arc raiders run as administrator crash, arc raiders crashes exit code
Exit codes 0 and 0x1 are crashes on your PC. Embark's crash troubleshooting article says: "These errors can occur when the game is set to run as an administrator. Turning this setting off usually resolves them."
The fix is to clear the "Run this program as an administrator" box on the PioneerGame file's Compatibility tab. A different exit code, 0x3, has its own fix on the exit code 0x3 page.
What to try
- 01Confirmed
Uncheck Run this program as an administrator on PioneerGame
For exit code 0, open
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ArcRaiders\PioneerGame\Binaries\Win64. For exit code 0x1, openC:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ArcRaiders(the path may vary depending on where Steam is installed). Find the application file namedPioneerGame, right-click it, select Properties, go to the Compatibility tab, uncheck "Run this program as an administrator" and select Apply. This is Embark's own fix.
