Closed Access violation error: Can't play game! :(

That was it for me, thank you, it worked.

Oh but it is, it worked for me. might work for anybody else that is using a XONAR too.

 

Used IDA Pro Free debugger, seems that crash is caused by sysfer.dll - Symanec Endpoint Protection.

You can use also use IDA for workarounds - download old freware version, use debugger menu, than G (jump) to search adress

 

This fixed mine on win8.1 64bit

 

Here's what is says when I try to start the game on just the normal "Launch Starbound" button from the Client:

Every time I start it I get a different set of numbers. Here's an example from another time:

But when I click "Launch Starbound (OpenGL) I get the same kind of access violation screen with a different list of Letters/Numbers. Also, in my task manager it acts like the game is still running. I am currently on Windows 8 64 bit. I have tried running the launcher as an admin and when I would hit "launch starbound" it would actually launch another launcher and not the actual game. Hopefully I provided something for you guys to work with. Keep up the good work!

 

Hello I had starbound working on Update 3 but after 4 and 5 I keep getting this message "access violation detected at 0x8a86fccf (Read of address 0x8a86fccf)" And I have tried a lot of different things but I can't figure it out someone please help me??

 

it seems im getting the same problem that guy is
and its not cause by mods either i checked

 

I've been having this problem for a few versions, and I just noticed something today - I never get those errors when I'm playing in a window, but I do get them when I'm playing fullscreen.

If I'm in a fullscreen game and I press Alt+Tab to switch to a different program, BAM, error. If I try to save and quit, I occasionally get an error as well. I've tried everything (compatibility modes, run as admin, opengl, etc.), and nothing has fixed this problem.

I would just run the game windowed, but for some reason I get MUCH worse framerates that way, sometimes making it unplayable.

 

Mine Doesn't load at all that's the problem I'm having

 

Bullocks...
I got exactly the same issue but one thing.
I get this when I quit StarBound.
When I quit the game, it pops up.
But the game works fine when I start it up again.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I am running Windows8 64-bit.
I got the game installed on a 1TB HDD.

I don't need help, I only need someone to explain to me what the hell this shit it? <---- Access violation.

 

I still get my access violation error occasionally when I close the game, or when I try to load a character. But it's pretty infrequent, and the game saves before crashing so it doesn't really cause any problems.

 

i have windows 7 pc and it happens to me
64bit

 

Just downloaded Starbound today and had the same issues with launch crashes.

After trying Jonny's suggestion it works fine.

I am on Windows 8.1 x64

 

Tried all of the fixes here but none worked.... Retried game this morning after just turning pc on... worked great. Turns out i get this error if i have any other program running in admin mode

Windows 8.0 x64

 

If your steam library is located here: "C:\Program Files (x86)\"

You should make it not.

You will continue to have this problem with games in the future.

 

Just wanted to add that after changing the .exe in the steam directory to launch in admin mode, I cannot launch the game from the steam launcher any more. Pressing "Starbound" results in nothing happening.
I have the launcher open then fire up the .exe directly to play currently so it adds to my Steam hours =)

 

If you enable any compatibility mode settings, you will have problems.

I seem to be repeating myself. I'm just going to create a bot that autoreports anyone who suggests running as Admin.

 

Have the same issue when I am playing, gives me an access violation error (sometimes)
win 8.1

 

i encountered this same error situation after i drasticaly altered a loot table in an attempt to quickly get a legendary rocket launcher, my issue resolved itself when i restored the old version of the loot table

 

Same here. Win 7 64bit

 

I'm getting these errors whenever I try to use my characters. It won't crash until I select a new character.
