So you think Atlus is responsible for your busted PC?

crashes during launch?

apparently if you have a multi monitor setup that causes the game to crash (not sure why)

*sigh*

Look, you've got some possible answers in the crash log:

When you have a memory address with no location, that typically means that some software external to the crashing application is attempting to write into a memory space that it has no permission to write to. Keep this in mind.

This is a bit more direct. Kernel32 is the Windows kernel. ntdll is the user-space access point to the kernel. What is accessing the kernel? Denuvo. But why does this game work fine for most players?

This requires more digging and googling, but there is a known bug with Windows 10 and 11 where some Cumulative Updates upgrade your kernel with a version of the kernel from Microsoft's Dev Channel even though you are just using the normal release channel. This can happen due to a random update but mostly manifests when you switch to the Dev Channel then switch back, upgrade from Windows 10 to 11, or have a prebuilt PC from certain OEMs that use a system image that was upgraded rather than made from scratch specifically for Windows 11.

The only fixes are to either roll your updates all the way back to before the kernel upgrade and hope that any updates that reapply don't break it again, or delete everything and install fresh. Not refresh or restore, but completely fresh with a blank slate. Definitely not ideal but you'll run into future issues with crashing and stability the longer you use a system with a mismatched kernel beyond the crashing issues with P3R.

i switched my monitor just for the giggles. P3R worked. i switched them because of the "multiple monitor" problems. so i switched to my old one and now the game runs.
you cant say that my PC is the problem. ATLUS just ♥♥♥♥♥♥ it up. thats all.

[nfinite.recursion]

What do you mean "switched my monitor?" As in plugged it into a different port?

no i mean it in, i disconnected my current one and plugged in my old monitor i had in the basement

[nfinite.recursion]

Does your newer monitor have GSync or FreeSync? What's the maximum refresh rate? What about the older one?

There may be a breadcrumb trail leading to the problem within this information that could (eventually) help others and help Atlus address this issue.

well both monitors are TVs. the "newer" one is a TELEFUNKEN D32H278KT3 TV with 50Hz refreshrate and the older one a old LG 32LD350 TV with 50/60Hz refreshrate. so i doubt any of them have GSync or FreeSync.

[nfinite.recursion]

Hmm. The Telefunken model is 50Hz only?

There are some games that require 60Hz or VRR or else they crash. Maybe P3R is unfortunately one of these games?

that may be. but since i use my other TV, i dont have any problems anymore

I wanna add something odd my Comp was doing when I first tried to play the game. After leaving the station to head to the dorm for the first time, when the screen went black, I heard my CD-ROM drive spin up. Then my game crashed. Unplugging it fixed it. maybe removing the DVD from it would have too, but idk. The games doing some odd stuff.

So im getting the exact same issues. I have a Razer Blade 16 2024 32GB Samsung ram at 5600, 14900HX with 4090. On the 23h2 build win 11. ive tried reinstalling the game tried compatibilty settings running as admin. Disable steam overlay. Tried different ram. I dug a little deeper and this is what event viewer is throwing out every crash.

The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Launch permission for the COM Server application with CLSID
Windows.SecurityCenter.WscDataProtection
and APPID

[Xenshen]

Side note works on both my 14900K machines both with 4090 and both with 7200 corsair 32GB ram. It also works on my steam deck oled.

Update when i plugged a hdmi 2.1 cable into the display out to my lg g3 it worked, but when i unplugged it the error came back. Going to try and reinstall windows and see if that helps
