Hey Nosseric, this is mod-related, but I’m not entirely confident which one. Do you use the Train Timer mod?

Hi Julia,

I thought that it was mod-related since the mod pack uses quite a few mods. I can paste my mod_load_oder txt, maybe you know which of the mods that I am running is the culprit. If not, I will have to disable them based on the category and single the one out which is responsible for the crashes. I do not use the train timer mod.

I can’t be 100%, but FullAuto possibly?

The mod might be it, I disabled it and I have not had any crashes with this error message. However, my game crashed once with a different message, but I was not able to recreate it since. Will post anything, if it comes up again. Thank you for your help.

This is the error message from my latest crash:

GUID: 44c2b703-c07b-4f08-9e61-816230cc12e8
Log File:
Info Type:

[Engine Error]: Access violation (0xc0000005) in build fb0f6d54fb7ca448cb818f78892c15c7a24f961a

Got it - if the Access violation crashes start to become more regular, look at lowering your ‘Worker Thread’ count within the launcher’s ‘Settings’ menu to improve stability. :slight_smile:
