Crash "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION" on Satisfactory Startup
Subject: Crash "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION" on Satisfactory Startup
Hello,
I am experiencing an issue with Satisfactory, which crashes immediately on startup with the error EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION. I have already tried several solutions without success:
Verified game files via Steam
Updated graphics drivers
Disabled overclocking
Launched the game as administrator
Tested with and without mods
Fully reinstalled the game
Despite everything, the issue persists.
If anyone has encountered this problem or knows a solution, I would really appreciate any help. Thanks in advance!

It appears your crash was generated from a copy of the game that does not have mods installed. We likely can't help with it. Please use the Unreal crash reporter dialog to report the error the game developers and/or report it on the official discord and QA site. Note: this can rarely be a false positive if the game crashed very early in the startup sequence, or if SML is not in use.

triggered by @KomarUhhh, the bot shouldn't necessarily have sent that. The stacktrace always reports

We need more information to help you. Before launching the game again, open the Mod Manager and use the "Generate debug info" option, then send the zip file produced here in this channel.
If you need to access older log files, see https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/faq.html#Files_Logs
Your crash is likely related to the recent SML update, but

What he said.
Note: this can rarely be a false positive if the game crashed very early in the startup sequence, or if SML is not in use.this particular crash is looking like it wasn't mod related though. the crash it cut off but it's all core code there
The truncated stacktraces from my crashes earlier look similar. Both FText.
will need the debug log for more info, yeah
Fully reinstalled the game Tested with and without mods
does anyone know what i can do against it. i tried to debug it but it wont work

this is a completely unrelated crash (different callstack), please upload a debug log in a new #help-using-mods post
