EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION

[dintendocoltd]

Hello,

 

I'm currently getting a dialog box whenever I try and start up Leadwerks Game Engine: Indie Edition.

Can someone please tell me on how to fix this, I would appreciate it very much as I have been frustrated ever since I purchased the software this morning.

 

Kind Regards,

EDIT: Just getting Image of error.

A GEForce 8400 cannot run Leadwerks. The minimum requirement is a DX11 / OpenGL 4 GPU or integrated graphics.

I also sometimes get this problem and I have a geforce gtx 780.

What causes this to happen on your computer?

[Dan22]

Sometimes when I am playing the game it freezes and crashes bringing up the same error. But only happens rarely.

I am receiving this quite often when trying to open a project.

Hello,

 

I do get the same Problem:

Steam Indie Beta 3.1

 

This morning my Engine had run ok.

Now it does this Errormessage all the time when loading a new map

EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION

 

 

Does anyone know, what to do ?

Loading a new map? You mean creating a new map? Is there an actual map file that causes this?

I get the same thing once in a while on both the systems where I run it. Usually just clicking ok and restarting works, but occasionally I have to reboot - one has an xfx 7970 and the other a 560m (Asus G74S laptop).

Hello,

 

@ Josh

This morning I deleated the last save of my map I am working on. Starting out with the second last ...

Now the LE does run ok again.

 

Thank You for Your Help and Hint

 

Have a nice day,

Hello when even I load leadwerks it always shows EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION when its loading the Devices spesificly when it gets to "Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator HD" please note that I am running this on a old fujist laptop and im using this temporarly because my PC's Motherboard, Processor and Memory fried there selves and geting replacement parts soonish but im on a time schedual for releasing my current project and I need it done by the end of the year so I have been trying to keep on schedual anyway is there a fix to my issue? or am I going to do all nighters to get it done? ( sorry about the last part I get a bit carried away when on forums *derp* )

 

EDIT: welp there is no fix to my issue... looks like its gonna have to be all nighters for a month to keep on time... oh well :|

I have a GeForce GTX 970 and I get the same problem, however only in the editor. I haven't been able to figure out what causes it so I haven't bothered posting as I figured it'd be useless to complain about something Josh can't reproduce.

 

But since it seems other people have similar issues I figured I'd mention it. I seem to randomly get these exception access violations when doing anything in the editor, some common things I've noticed are: Loading a project (Most often), Creating a new project (Very rare), and often when selecting things [maybe only certain things?] from the "Create" drop down menu (Fairly rare).

 

Edit: That being said, since opting into the beta this hasn't happened once. Although I can't confidentially say it's fixed as it was always a rare issue that'd happen once or twice a day on average and I haven't been using the editor extensively since updating, more been working on the code in MSV.

 

Also after posting I noticed this thread got a little off topic. xD OP's problem is his video card is incompatible.

I'd check if Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator HD supports OpenGL 4, I doubt it. There might be a better tool but this will tell you what version it supports: http://www.realtech-vr.com/glview/download.php

Havent got any bigger problems with my old sapphire amd 7870 , currently I have the gtx 970 and never had this error. It probably makes less problems the newer the hardware is.

I got this error by trying to publish a map with much much different models loaded on it, AND it seems changing the LE options "video" on high definitively makes this happen.

It seems that having the (start) map loaded in the editor while doing the publication generates this.

 

I found 2 solutions with this:

-> Not so good solution: Changing the option "video" graphic on low makes the publication of the map possible.

-> Very good solution: (as you can publish with the High graphic options) is to go through a "change map" script from a little (start) map using a scripted trigger to the bigger map that made problems.

 

Edit:

 

It seems only loading a "much" heavy modelled big (4000*4000) map with the editor and then packaging is enough to cause the error.

First loaded map should be a light little one with the change-map scripted trigger to the heavy map: That seems no problem to package & publish
