This thread is gonna focus primarily on MAVs which occur the second the game boots up, but some of these solutions may also work for in-game ones. Resolving an MAV is tricky, mainly because why, where, and when they happen can vary with each version and computer. How do I get rid of a Memory Access Violation? Always remember to provide as much information as possible when writing bug reports!įor the most part, a Memory Access Violation (or MAV for short) is an error which often occurs when the game fails to load an asset due to either a coding bug or something else on your PC which is interfering with the game's ability to read assets from its folders. You should instead create a new thread in the bug reports forum detailing your problem. Please do not post bug reports on this thread. In addition, this thread is not a support desk, and should not be treated as such. It's likely that crashes which happen mid-session will not be fixed by any of the suggestions on this thread. Just a note: This thread is specifically tailored towards assisting people who encounter an MAV when they launch the game.
