EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION error

[tds787]

Trying to load the game from Steam, go to "start new game" and it bombs out (audio still goes...) and gives me this: Amnesia.exe caused an EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION in module Amnesia.exe at 0023:004E9CD3

Video Card (GeForce 560 gtx) is up to date driver-wise, even did a clean install of the new driver. Gave My Docs/Amnesia full permissions too. Here's my hpl:
