Sonic World: Memory Access Violation errors (fixed.)

[Dark Redshift]

I know this isn't really the right place to post about this but I couldn't find any information online to fix this problem:

No stages load in Sonic World because of a memory access violoation error. I assumed it was because I'd set it to the strongest machine setting at the game's first startup so I deleted the game, unzipped it again and relaunched to try and fix that.

Didn't work because it remembered my game and what settings it had for some reasons, despite removing it from my PC.

I tried deleting both the folder and zip file and redownloading off the website to see if that would trick it into thinking it was a new machine. Same result.

I tried running the game in compatibility mode for Windows 8, 7 and XP Service Pack 3. Still didn't work and it's p.issing me off.

None of the solutions above were successful and the game is unplayable.

If anyone would like to help me, I'd welcome it:

The version I was attempting to play is Version 7. The memory access violations occur no matter what stage I try to play.

They happen after the level loads: no game images appear and it freezes on the loading screen, but the level sounds and voices still play. After I click the OK box in the error window, I cannot close the game without using the task manager.

There's also a more minor issue where the controller icons for the Xbox layout are labled wrong and the game only detects the wrong buttons e.g. X instead of A.


EDIT: I've used the official site's method for removing save data and set the graphic settings to weak and it still didn't work. I really need help with this.

EDIT 2: never mind. It's setting custom options that breaks it. Weak graphics makes it run fine. However, the way it detects gamepads is messed up. I'll post abiout that in a different thread. Just ignore this one now.

so simply run on the lowest settings, and it works? (I also have that issue) just that?

The way it detects gamepads is also an issue but doesn't cause errors: it seems to be set up for 360 and PS3 controllers but not Xbone, which is the one I have for my PC. That is the only other issue I have with the game, apart from the flickys in Rusty Ruin being a little finicky to catch.

"Colleague, I can not help you with the "memory access violation" issue, but I can help you with the control.

1- Enter the game and delete with the "A" button (of the control) and delete all the configurations of xbox and the one of the icon of Logitech (that is the one of numerical control)
2 - From there, with a numerical control or with your player instincts, put the buttons in place (obviously you configure it to your liking), for example: I put the "A" button which is the "1" button in the red square (that is to jump).
3- Configure all the buttons to your liking, as it suits you best.
4- Enjoy with the custom configuration

Even so, I'm still searching for information on the "Memory Access Violation" problem, but when I find something, I'll let you know, bah, if you remember XD. but seriously I do not know if I will find this forum returned, in any case send me a private chat. By the way, I speak Spanish. all this was by the translator XD"

I wish I could help, but yeah I am getting the same problem and don't know how to fix it sadly

[「 VιSε» 」]

I have 2 possible solutions (Windows):

WARNING: This will delete all saved data like unlocked characters. To get them all back (even the ones you didnt unlock), enable debug mode, and on the main menu (with Play, Gallery, etc) press F1. You can then turn debug off. This will not give all the Chaos/Sol emeralds tho.

1. In Windows Search, type %appdata% and press enter.

In that folder should be a folder called Sonic World (Atleast, for me there was a folder like that).

Open it, and you should see a folder called SaveData.

In here, scroll all the way to the bottom and you should see a file called SETTINGS.dat

Delete it, and open Sonic World

2. Go back to the SaveData folder a d delete everything inside.

Open Sonic World.

ok so this is old as ♥♥♥♥ but i read through all this, did everything the last guy said and still i get the error message, someone help me with this

[Crystal Sharrd]

The Memory Access Violation error is from the engine that Sonic World uses. It's possible to help avoid the error by increasing Sonic World's priority in Task Manager, according to one of the developers I spoke with.

[omaturo]

how does one do that

[Pyonier~]

just put it on low man it says in the game

Hey guys I want to tell you a solution that I found for my own personal experience with this issue! I didn't find the graphics to be much as an issue as I found that the "Menu Theme" to be the main culprit!! I originally used the Adventure theme for my menu but with a little messing around with the settings I found if I had chosen a different theme the problem seemed to practically vanish! I hope this will help anyone who has this issue, as this solved my problem it might not help yours sadly.. (I am using the Release 8 version) Please reply or dm me with any questions, I would love to help you! :)

Okay saying that deleting everything in the save file will not help you. I’ve deleted everything, it still gives me the error. The moment you configure your controls is the moment the game gives you the error.
