3221225477 EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION Unplayable

[whitehead1981]

I get this error 3221225477 EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION after a couple of minutes, every time. It is unplayable ! Any idea what to do ?!

[whitehead1981]

I have an Alienware M18 R1 RTX 4090, i9 13980HX

I get this problem after about an hour or two of playtime. Intel 13900KF cpu and 3080Ti gpu. GPU driver is up to date and no problems in other games that are cpu intensive.

[whitehead1981]

So i can confirm that it must something to do with the 4090. I played the game on my old notebook with a 2070super and i didnt got a single crash.

I've got a 4070 and I'm facing the same issue, it seems to be related to things going wrong when a neutral unit gets killed: the game punctually crashes every time I kill an enemy unit not belonging to any faction

I've just tested a game run to turn 30 with no neutral units getting killed, and no crash occurred

Apparently, this only occurs on the first unit I kill in a game, if I make it past that first enemy death (and I really don't know what might be making me :D) the game appears to work fine

Will wait for a fix!

P.s.: playing on Linux via Proton 9.0, but honestly I don't think it is relevant for this case

yeah i just crash i got 3080 i5 13600k

Just out of curiosity how much ram you got? i got 64gb does that matter?

found a post here talking about c++ programming and StackOverflow. and they get 3221225477 when they tried to access (read, write or execute) invalid memory.

is that relevant?

For those who have this issue, try installing the debug version (property > beta) and then revert to the official version. It worked for me.

Right, I don't know if this will help anyone, but funnily enough had a very similar error with a friend's PC on a different game. I checked the Nvidia drivers and they were up to date.

However! On a hunch, I decided to find the driver manually, rather than installing the driver through Nvidia's flippin' experience portal wotsit. I went and found the driver on the site, downloaded the driver and ONLY the driver (Don't go with the download for the Nvidia GeForce experience) and after that installed, it seemed to deal with the problem.

Now, this was the same sort of error but on a different game, but if folks haven't tried it, maybe give that a go and see if it works. I've had issues with GeForce driver updates in the past, so yeah. Hope it helps.

I'm having this problem with the RTX 2070 Super GPU. It's really a chronic issue that's making the game nearly unplayable. Also tried switching to Debug then back to Official, worked for a little while and promptly began having the problem again.

Мне помогла только установка последних обновлений windows. До этого игра стабильно вылетала с данной ошибкой при убийстве любого нейтрального юнита

i have a 4090 pny and it crashes but my friend has a 4090 asus and it doesnt crash at all as long as he hosts. it doesnt crash for him if he runs solo either.

UnitKilledNotification triggers error 3221225477 EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION with Zephon 1.0.15. I am using RTX 2080 Ti with GeForce driver 566.36.

OK guys i've just SOLVED it in my pc. In my case, it was not GPU/CPU issues. THIS ERROR "3221225477 EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION" was because i had an outdated MOTHERBOARD's BIOS, so an update FIXED everything. I hope you can solve it as well, guys.
