EXCEPTION_PRIV_INSTRUCTION error, please help!
So I get this error "EXCEPTION_PRIV_INSTRUCTION" when I'm playing Satisfactory (we're in the dessert biome), we cannot pinpoint what causes this. It happend when I turned around, it happend when I made "Heavy Modular Frames".. the crash itself is not on a specific moment or time. Before I got out of the blue "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION" as an error, I resolved that error via my Antivirus software. But now I can't find a solution for "EXCEPTION_PRIV_INSTRUCTION"-error.

Note, we play with mods, here's a list of them:
- More Milestones +100
- Floor Hole and Ceiling Logistics
- Efficiency Checker Mod
- Auto Splitters
- Exosuit Mod
- X3-Signs V2
- Wall Pipe Supports

My PC-specs;
- GPU: GTX 1080
- CPU: i7-8700k
- PSU: Cooler Master 650w
- MOBO: ASUS Maximus x HERO
- RAM: 2x 16GB Corsair Vengeance @ 3200Mhz

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/89607/what-is-a-privileged-instruction
a privileged instruction is a processor op-code (assembler instruction) which can only be executed in "supervisor" (or Ring-0) mode. These types of instructions tend to be used to access I/O devices and protected data structures from the windows kernel.

Regular programs execute in "user mode" (Ring-3) which disallows direct access to I/O devices, etc...

This sort of thing usually happens when using function pointers that point to invalid data. It can also happen if you have code that trashes your return stack.

This tells me that something like an anti-virus is still causing your issues as they can execute in ring-0 kernel space. Other things like rootkits, anti-cheat, and other kernel level access programs.

If you're multiplayer, I would suggest both of you use the same mod setup and reinstall them as one of them is probably corrupt. Additionally, verify the game files on both machines. This is an error of code which is a file corruption or a data transmission issue. Up the network quality setting or whatever it's called on the machine everyone joins as that one is the 'server'.

We downloaded the same mods, and also activated the same mods also. Whenever I verify the files after a crash I always have the same amounts of gigabytes (4,7gb) that's been downloaded.
