(Access Violation) error is usually caused by your computer not being able to correctly process the files and settings required to run a particular program or installation. Despite the error showing when you try and use particular pieces of software, it has many different causes including faulty RAM problems, errors with the files of your PC and issues with the settings of your PC.
In this case, we suggest that you check for corrupted Windows system files. System File Checker (SFC) is a utility in Windows that scans for corrupted Windows system files. If it finds a problem, it will try to replace the problematic system files from a cached version that’s on your PC.
Maybe try reseating your ram, also might help reinstalling your graphics drivers, in conjunction with verifying your game files via steam, or even better reinstalling the game.
There's some good advice already given in this thread, but IF it were me, I'd:-
1) Try updating my Graphics driver IF it isn't up-to-date as a starting point.
2) Run the Built in Windows Memory/RAM Diagnostic to check your Ram.
3) IF your Ram is overclocked, I'd set it either at it's normal/recommended setting or back off the overclock a tad.
4) Overheating could be an issues, try downloading HWinfo 64 (basic version is free) so you can monitor your GPU's core and memory temperatures as well as that of the CPU.
Those are some of the things i would try for starters. If you need more detailed help, let me know.
"I don't have issues on other games" is not a valid reference ;-)
It doesn't proof the game is the problem unless it's a wide spreaded problem many other players have as well. That's not the case.
It rather indicates there's an issue in your system.
In terms of DL2 it's a very demanding game, which causes a lot of gpu and cpu load.
If your system can't handle heavy load for a longer period of time then your system suffers from instabilities other dames weren't able to reveal yet.
Like I said in my last post the last update fixed my issue which means it was the game and not my computer. If there were issues with my computer I would see it in other games like Flight Sim which takes a lot more out of my computer then Dying Light 2. So thanks for your feedback and all I wanted to do is let other people know that were having this issue that the update worked for me.
If it were "Dying light 2" causing the problem the "whole time" then every PC user running the game would be effected. The issues with PC's vs consoles for example is that there are millions of PC combinations out there when taking into account Hardware and Software.
You could for instance have a poorly written piece of software installed on your PC using a particular library that is known to clash with other software and the game being patched made it more compatible with that sort of poorly written software.
As a senior software engineer I can tell you from experience there are way too many variables to just say "it's your computer and not the game because it works for me".
The combination of both the OS version, patches of the OS, hardware and drivers interacting with the game and in this case, Denuvo (which is known for causing problems on certain systems) can definitely be a cause, but that is not a problem we, the customers, can do something about it, nor should we.
The development and testing team should have tested more combinations and possibilities, however the past few decades most companies don't want to spend money anymore on proper end-to-end testing. They want their product on the shelf ASAP and your money.
So if the OP said the latest patch fixed his problem, it's definitely an incompatibility with the game and his hardware or software, even though it shouldn't occur.
Trust me, the kind of "this should never even be possible" kind of bugs I encountered in code is insane, don't underestimate it.
Didn't I just suggest the same?
Have you got an antivirus scanner set to the usual default to check files when they are opened or accessed? Some scanners have so called "Game mode" where you can basically disable game file checking whilst playing a game. In other instances you could just disable your scanners background checking whilst playing a game.
Whilst i don't recommend it, I only scan files "on demand" with an antivirus checker (Sophos) on the PC I use mainly for gaming and very little else.
