Crashes on startup - Unhandled Exception

[The Durex Kid]

Okay I've been having this issue for a good couple of months now. The game was working perfectly fine from the day of release up until march (ish), after that whenever I start up the game it crashes just before it reaches the main menu and gives the error message:

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000018

I do not have any mods installed, I have verified the cache multiple times, I have re-installed and performed a total wipe of the files and re-installed again and still I have the same issue.

Can someone please help me out as I want to be able to play the game I paid good money for and not have it be a digital doorstop. Thank you

could be the settings files.

Open start menu and type "run"
Open the run app and paste this in.

%localappdata%\ReadyOrNot\Saved\

Then hit OK.

Delete EVERYTHING in that folder that opens up and then relaunch the game.

Sometimes it's just the settings files corrupt, Or saves corrupt and then you get.. THAT issue.

It's an unreal engine thing, It happens enough for me to use that as a go-to in order to fix it.

Usually verifying files won't fix it too because the settings get saved into your appdata folder instead of in the game folder or documents folder so it's a bit more difficult to get to unless you know the location.
