CS / EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION

**Mos1ey** · 03-05-2014, 07:42 AM

Hi,

I've played through A:TDD and Justine and they both run great, no problems, but last night I downloaded the CS White Night from ModDB and it crashes every 10-20 minutes or so with the message "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION".

This is the first CS that I've played but I followed the instructions and am confident that it is installed correctly. When the game is running everything is fine, and then it crashes unexpectedly. So I restart it and again, it runs fine for another 20 minutes before crashing.

My hpl.log (attached) shows lots of errors, but I'm not sure exactly what they mean.

Additional information...

System specs:
CPU: i5 3570k @ 4.5Ghz
RAM: 8Gb Kingston HyperX @ 1600Mhz
GPU: EVGA GTX 780
Board: ASUS P8Z77-v Pro

Graphics settings: all highest available

Game version: Steam / BuildID: 37432

If anyone has any idea what is causing this help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Mos1ey

Just gonna spoiler the whole log here for easier access:

Spoiler below!

First off it mentions problems loading the .map and .map_cache files. I'm unsure exactly what causes this, but perhaps the other problems are to blame. Further on it says there are problems in the entities and meshes. I don't know why these would do this unless some files are corrupt or something. Where did you download it? Did you get it from a good source with an updated version of it?

Otherwise it just mentions a lot of errors within the maps, but I don't see how they should appear if the exact same files have worked for everyone else. This sounds like faulty files to me. Perhaps someone else knows anything?

I downloaded the mod from ModDB here...
http://www.moddb.com/mods/white-night/downloads

It's the top rated Amnesia mod there, so I guess it must be working for everyone else. :S

I don't understand why everything is fine while I'm playing and then it crashes all of a sudden though. There are no bugged textures or anything else, it just crashes suddenly out of nowhere.

Thanks for your input though, I'll try downloading a fresh version in case something has become corrupt somehow.

Did you replace any files when installing it? Hopefully not.

It would be nice if White Night was made isolated from the main game, because as it is right now, it kinda merges with the default files, which is messy. An update could be done to fix this and perhaps thin out some errors, but I doubt the creator will considering it's already been years.

Well, I'm not really sure why this has happened. Something must be different from other people though. Just gotta find out what.

Try deleting following map cache file and try again. E:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Amnesia The Dark Descent/main_menu/main/white_night_bg.map_cache
