EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000004

[originalheiro]

everytime when attempting to launch game.

Updated graphics drivers,
verified files,
un-install and reinstall


Issue happened periodically (rarely) until this latest patch which was downloaded and installed today (12/20/21)....

previously, would get the occasional error during gameplay, but now I cant even launch into a prospect.

whats up

This is sometimes due to access to a memory region is being used by another program or is blocked by a 3rd party app, like an Anti-virus scanner trying to access the same file/address as the game is trying to access.

Did it mention a file? Or give more information on the popup?

Try going into your AV settings and excluding the game's folder from being scanned, and also exclude the .exe file too. And try again, just to rule out that the AV hasn't got exclusive control over the binary.

still no joy ... have tried with DX11 / DX 12 ..
have tried with AV off
unable to join prospect that is in progress... get the loading graphics screen, then crash

Having the same exact problem on two different computers using two different accounts.

I am trying to resume a prospect I started 4 days ago. I get through the main menus and select the prospect. I start hosting the session, the loading screen with the spinning weapons comes up, then crash. I can create a new character and load any of the other prospects fine on the new one, but my in progress one crashes every time.

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000010

kernel32
ntdll
Any ideas or fixes? Thanks!

Two different computers on two accounts sounds like a corrupted save, or an update making the old save incompatible now.

May be vote for the error at https://icarus.featureupvote.com/suggestions/265450/crash-unhandled-exception-exception_access_violation-reading-address-0x000000000 may help on some day :)

Has anyone having this issue that has an NVIDIA card tried this solution (restoring default NVIDIA Control Panel settings):

Side note, the reason I came across this thread is because I have a dedicated Icarus server setup (using steamcmd, on a local dedicated machine separate from my gaming rig). Me, friend A, and friend B, never have issues, but friend C almost nightly runs into a crash that takes our dedicated server down and this is the same error in the dedicated server log. I've reached out to friend C to see if he has an NVIDIA card and if so I'm going to have him try this. I'll report back with the results.

I'm having this. I even did a complete nuke & pave of my new gaming rig (13900K, 4070 Ti Super, 5000MT/s DDR5 RAM, updated Windows, installed Steam, then installed Icarus. Still does it. Tried on computer I just replaced...full nuke & pave. Crashes still.

Nothing fixes it. It has to be a bug with either Unreal Engine, Icarus, Steam saves, or a combo of them.
