This is a conventional Access Violation crash which unfortunately doesn’t include any clues as to what could be causing it.

I understand you’ve tried many solutions already, is there anything in here that you haven’t explored yet?:

If you say that restarting the PC fixes it, that sounds like a memory issue. Just a speculation of course.  
But do you notice the game getting choppier and choppier before the crash happens? Like the performance slowly “erodes”?

Thank for the answer,

Well I guess I’m gonna try to have a fresh and clean install of Windows just to start from scratch, can’t hurt.

And if maybe there is more infos in it, I have the two others crash log files from the same session:

## GUID: 42da2352-1738-4f1f-8956-f377283e8857 Log File: Info Type:

And

## GUID: df376f48-7ef7-4ccc-925c-700358ca74a9 Log File: Info Type:

* * *

I don’t know if it can be helpful.

Cheers !

Hey,

That’s the weird part, everything run smooth as a butter, no lag, not stuttering, the temperature of the gpu and cpu are stable and below the red zone.

It just happens just instantly with no warnings.

Cheers
