Hi, my game crashes every time I close it since patch 4.4.2. Here is a console log like Aqshy suggested 🙂 [console-2021-11-05-18.24.24-e784586b-b729-41f1-b883-7cbaf9cd200a.log](https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/uploads/short-url/ky60cha5DRPkHEbRnzGpThBKVxz.log) (3.7 MB) ---

Seems you’re running into a non-descript Access Violation crash. They can occur for numerous reasons and it’s usually a process of elimination to determine the cause. Firstly, (if you haven’t already) I recommend trying Verify Integrity of Game Files: > **[\[PC\] How to 'Verify Integrity of Game Files' via Steam](https://support.fatshark.se/hc/en-us/articles/360021233534--PC-How-to-Verify-Integrity-of-Game-Files-via-Steam)** > > The 'Verify Integrity of Game Files' option is accessible via the Steam client and will ensure the installation is complete.

Sorry for the late response. I verified my game files but the game is still crashing when closing down. ---

Hm okay. I wonder if perhaps a background application is interfering. Could you try performing a Selective Startup. This can be performed by: 1. Press the Windows key 2. Type ‘msconfig’ and select ‘System Configuration’ 3. On the ‘General’ tab, select ‘Selective Startup’ 4. Deselect ‘Load startup Items’ 5. Reboot your PC ---

I never used any mods with this installation. EDIT: The latest update fixed the crash on closing the game. ---
