MJKERR Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 Have you been able to run the program in the past? When did you download and install? Have you tried a full uninstall and reinstall? What is the computer specification? RAM / VRAM / processor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EliGrim Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 7 hours ago, Dvb1998 said: i've not done a reinstall You should do that! Based on the error.log an Access Violation occurs, which means that a certain section of e.g. memory cannot be accessed. For games, the problem can often be solved by a complete reinstallation. Other reasons can be that an outdated or faulty DirectX version is installed, no current drivers for graphics card or sound card are installed or configured incorrectly, or a third-party software blocks parts of the game... What Windows Version are you using? What DirectX Version are you using? (Press Win-Logo + R, type dxdiag and click OK; Version is shown on the first page.) Are you using the latest drivers for your graphics card and sound card? Have you verified the game files integrity through Steam? (https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335) Are the files E:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Tower 3D Pro\tower3d.exe and E:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Tower 3D Pro\tower3d_Data\TowerSpeak\towerspeakbridge.exe on the exception list or marked as save applications in your anti-virus software? How do you start the game as Admin? (Do not start Steam with admin rights!) Do you have (home office related) software installed that could interfere with the UnityPlayer the game uses, like Citrix Receiver or Citrix Workspace.

EliGrim Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 Assuming that your hard drive or RAMs are not defective, it is still possible that some installed software, such as an antivirus or other security software, could still have a negative impact. Unfortunately, an Access Violation is not a very specific error. Annoyingly, it can have a variety of causes, from rights or memory management under Windows down to the BIOS. Further measures could include steps such as a clean boot or other actions that, if not done properly, could be potentially harmful to your system. Since I am not a certified technician, I will not suggest any further steps here. Have you already contacted the developer FeelThere directly, with reference to this thread?https://feelthere.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new The developer should be able to interpret the logs better than I am. If the developer can't help, I hope they can, it might also be an idea to post in Microsoft's Windows Forum or an independent Windows Forum. There will certainly be some users who have a lot of experience with Access Violation issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dvb1998 Posted October 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 thank you for the help for now. i don't assume it'll be hardware related, as this is the only program i'm having issues with. i'll contact the developers via the link, s i was under the assumption that they were checking here as it is linked on their site as support.

If your problem can be solved, which I hope it can, it would be great if you could leave a short post with the solution, in case someone else has the same problem.

crbascott Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 Zendesk is more effective (and necessary) for Steam users that need to provide attachments. A detailed post here in the official support forum with attachments like @Dvb1998 provided should more than suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelThere Ariel Posted November 2, 2020 Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 @Dvb1998 I see your Windows version´s latest update is 2004. We know for sure that there are some issues the 2004 update brought to our Tower3DPro game that were solved by uninstalling the 2004 update. However a newer update was released on October 27th if I´m not wrong, the 2010 for Win10. Is there a way you could obtain this update and see if the issues you are experiencing are solved?

Weren't these problems related to speech recognition because Windows has reset certain settings by outsourcing Cortana? As far as I can see, v2004 should not be the cause for an Access Violation if installed correctly. (I am of course not omniscient!) Please do not get me wrong. If the problem can be solved by installing the current Windows version, I would be very happy for @Dvb1998. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelThere Ariel Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 @EliGrim that´s what we want to figure out. The 2004 update brought some incompatibilities to some of our software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dvb1998 Posted November 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2020 i have not yet had the 2010 update of windows. however, i have done a bios update since then, and it appears to have solved the issue, as i have now played for 1.5 hours straight without crashing. thus it appears to have been a bios issue of some sorts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crbascott Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 Personally, I wouldn't force anything if you don't need to. As they say, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info. Concerning the Windows update, I am with @crbascott. 31 minutes ago, crbascott said: Personally, I wouldn't force anything if you don't need to. Personally, I hold back on Windows updates until they have been checked and found safe by independent sources, e.g. computer magazines. There have simply been too many problems with Windows updates in the past. The last big problem was Update KB4549951 in April, which caused crashes and random, unsolicited reboots for hundreds of thousands of users. It usually takes Microsoft 2 weeks to 2 months to fix such problems and provide an improved update. Edit: For updates that close a critical vulnerability, I take the risk and install them as soon as Windows is suggesting it.
