Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000004

Seeing this on startup, anyone manage to solve this? Followed some generic UE5 crash advice and restored global nvidia settings, updated drivers, deleted the steam shader cache for this game. No luck yet.

Hi all, you have probably seen some other threads recommending to delete "sl.pcl.dll" - I should have mentioned that I tried that and it didn't work.

HOWEVER - I YOLO'd and deleted all "sl_..." files and am now running the game.

In Windows this was in:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Oblivion Remastered\Engine\Plugins\Marketplace\nvidia\DLSS\Streamline\Binaries\ThirdParty\Win64

Right click your game in library > Manage >Browse game files.

Navigate through Engine > Plugins > Marketplace > nvidia > DLSS > Strealine > Binaries > ThirdParty > Win64

Delete/move every file starting with "sl"

I am leaving these files in my recycle bin for now. I will update later when I figure out which one actually fixed the problem... but for now you'll have to forgive me as I enjoy my way through the sewers and on to Vilverin. Hope this helps others!

i tried just turning off DLSS instead and that fixed my crash issue (as far as i know) just played for 2 hours without crashing as opposed to crashing every 10 minutes. thank you so much!

Hopefully this will be helpful to those still getting these errors, but I've started compiling a list of possible fixes:

This fix works!!!!

I have almost 7 hours, no problem, I try hopping in just now, same issue. I updated my game drivers and my computer, same issue. Glad im not the only one

I don't want to read every reply, but I found a unique resolution to my crashing issue WITH MODS.

The issue: Installing mods through Nexus and crashing no matter the mod used, if something is enabled I have to verify file integrity and try again. It launches fine without mods after verifying integrity and launching after disabling all mods. Crashing after installing any mod to Oblivion Remastered or "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION".

Resolution: Go into Vortex, click the button that says "Load Order" on the left-hand side (for me) where it says Mods/Collections/Load Order under the tabs that says Downloads/Games/Extensions/etc. --- Once you're in the "Load Order" tab, click "Reset Plugins File" and do that. Vortex messes up the load order, thus not capable of launching and this should hopefully fix someone else's problem.

Maybe it does or doesn't help, either way, it's another solution that someone could be looking for aimlessly.

This worked for me. Was crashing on start up but your solution now let's me play.

Just spent like an hour and what I found was that the problem was quicksaving in the area I was in, I turned off all auto saved and fast traveled to my house and went inside and leveled up twice which autosaved and it stopped crashing

Your games shouldn't be installed in Program Files if they use hardware accelerated routines.

Ideally no game should be installed there, no clue why STEAM defaults there and does not give a warning about it. But hey.

literally does not matter. if it did, ValvE would not do that by default. why do people always have to come up with random ♥♥♥♥♥

Actually it does if you have UAC on and other Windows security. It's not recommended you use any program that calls another in that directory because it's subject to Windows' automated security.

Programs that call other programs inherit a lower access privilege in Windows -- that means if Steam is only as "administrator" then the programs it calls from it's launcher run as USER unless the program's creator specified otherwise OR the user does. This was one of the main security changes from Windows 7 to Windows 10. That is the behaviour that should happen by default on Windows 10 / 11 machines.

Program Files is a protected system access folder which means that programs there will always be ran along the antimalware components of Windows.

For games that is not what you want because it means a performance loss depending on your system's setup.

As for why Steam installs there by default, it's because you are given the option to do otherwise but can choose not to. Program Files exists on every commercially released Windows install, but any other folder it can install to may not.

Are you having fun in school yet?

Turning off autosaves reduced my crashes after trying other steps in this post. Still having crashes though.

[boognish]

pain. constant crashes for me now too. 3070, 32GB ram, couple of SSDs. it aint right man

wonder if rolling back to the driver before the one nvidia released yesterday (4/30) would help...

[JackSlader]

Access violation can come from blocked dll, make sure you use powershell to unblock everything in your folder especially when using mods.

Make sure steam is never installed in program files on your OS drive period, it causes a myriad of issues when it is.

Mod conflicts or incorrect load order also gives this error believe it or not.

And lastly Oblivion was infamous for crashing if you have autosave on travel/loading enabled, never play with this enabled period.

I'm an old Bethesda veteran so i'm very familiar with tweaking the creation engine, as others have stated access violation is definitely a known UE4/UE5 problem, i've never seen this error in older tes games.
