Original post:
Knockout City is a perfect example of a fun-filled action game featuring an absolutely fresh idea. Players get to “knockout” their enemies with balls. It is probably painful for the characters, but it is still a very amusing game to play with your friends. The video game is based on the real-life game, Dodgeball. There are different kinds of balls, from a ball that explodes on impact to a ball that gives you the ability to jump really high. Here, both you and the balls have powers. There are exciting accessories to make your character look invincible too. Knockout City was released in May 2021 and has been a huge hit among gamers.
Knockout City game crash issue
So, you have downloaded the game already? But, here’s the thing. The game is crashing for some players who have used non-ASCII characters in their usernames. Not everyone is facing this issue; it is limited to PC users with Windows 10. The developers have addressed the same in a tweet from the official page of Knockout City. The tweet says that they are working on a fix and would update on the same as soon as it’s done. Fans are disappointed as the game is crashing on launch, thus no “dodge-brawling” until the fix.
We’ve found a bug that impacts some players on PC with non-ASCII Windows usernames. If you’re affected, the game might crash at launch. The team is already working quickly on a patch to fix the issue and will update you with more information as soon as we have more to share.

However, according to other users, the game is crashing even if their usernames don’t have special characters.

One user reported that the Knockout City was very laggy, whilele other games are wonderful with the same internet connection.
Why is this game so laggy, like my internet can run every online game I have except this one

Since users are reporting many bugs, the developers have now posted a form where users can report the bug and describe its nature. This will become easier to address than reading Twitter comments.
A few of you are reporting other things you're seeing. Please feel free to fill our our bug report form so we can investigate further. It's not so easy to diagnose what's happening from Tweets 😉https://t.co/nbyDq9HzRJ

We urge the players to report any kind of bugs they come across in the game, as this will help the developers improve user experience and fix the issues as soon as possible.
Knockout City is a very unique game. It’s packed with entertainment and throwing balls at enemies and watching them explode, is fun at its best. However, games come with glitches from time to time. The more players report those bugs, the more smooth the game becomes. We hope Knockout City becomes bug-free soon!
