[Clem1]

I have exactly the same issue. I’ve got over 200 hours in the game but since 0.92 the game will not launch. I’ve tracked it down to this:
Faulting application name: Last Epoch.exe, version: 2019.4.40.50731, time stamp: 0x62a10ee1
Faulting module name: nvwgf2umx.dll, version: 31.0.15.3742, time stamp: 0x6500ba89
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x00000000022a87a9
Faulting process ID: 0x0x41C8
Faulting application start time: 0x0x1D9F1516B5DB10A
Faulting application path: C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Last Epoch\Last Epoch.exe
Faulting module path: C:\WINDOWS\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\nvmdi.inf_amd64_97c24e8dfa98e686\nvwgf2umx.dll
Report ID: e07053e6-4e71-419e-b8da-b243e27be1b0
Faulting package full name:
Faulting package-relative application ID:

I’ve updated to the latest drivers, Uninstalled, cleaned up, re-installed still no joy. Every other game I own plays just fine.

Potential Fix or Workaround for Unity Crash Issue

I noticed a few people experiencing unity crash errors on startup on Last Epoch. I also had these issues, but thought they weren’t related to the game. I ended up diving into the issue and finding a workaround/fix that has helped myself and one other. We both had AMD GPUs and the ati64dxx.dll was the faulting module. I’ll share my Discord chat log with the person having this issue and also a concise list of the steps taken. Quick Steps: Last Epoch on steam right-click → Manage → browse local …

Can't start the game

Hey mate - there are piles of reasons these access violations can occur. Here’s a list of troubleshooting options (some youve probably done already, but i copy pasted it from an older post of mine :D) verifying Steam game file integrity just in case - https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/0C48-FCBD-DA71-93EB deleting graphics ini file and ensuring your settings are on low - https://support.lastepoch.com/hc/en-us/articles/1260805163370-The-Graphics-ini-File backup and the…

Thanks for the reply. I’ve tried all that too, copied the DLL , verified integrity etc, run as admin, uninstall/re-install the game and GPU driver. It makes no sense as the game was previously playable for me. It’s strange as other Unity engine based games are totally fine like Risk of Rain 2, Inside and Genshin Impact. I’m hoping that it gets fixed in a patch as I know I’m not alone with this issue.

[psychodrive]

Bugger. Hopefully fixed in a patch as you say

Fixed it!!! I did sfc /scannow and it fixed some corrupted files gave my PC a reboot and it now launches.

[psychodrive]

Nice! Glad its working for ya

[drinkturps]

You’re not going to believe it. It’s reverted back to the same problem. I did the sfc /scannow thinking something in my OS was bad and it’s not found any problems. The game no longer launches again. It worked twice before failing!

[psychodrive]

Man. That would be super frustrating. What a weird issue

[ActofUranus]

hi setting page file back to 0 on all drives fixed it for me

[psychodrive]

Hey folks

Somebody on Discord found turning off DEP helped.

This is not generally recommended as it is a security feature. At least in this instance you can exclude Last Epoch specifically.

Hey thanks for helping out. I’ve finally worked out the issue. RAM problems. I started to get random freezes in Cyberpunk, Starfield, PUBG and Office 365 has gone nuts. It got me thinking. I did the windows memory diagnostics and it’s confirmed there’s a RAM problem. I’ll have a play unseating and reseating the RAM but I think it’s time to convince Mrs Turps for a PC upgrade…

[psychodrive]

Oh that sucks!

On the other hand, glad you found it

Plus, upgrade time! Yeehah!

[Barnaldo]

I ran the same diagnostic and came up with 0 issues, yet I am still running into all the same problems. Not sure what that indicates but really really hoping this gets figured out soon, kinda sucks being completely unable to play.
