[Leadwerks 4.6] EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION

I seem to get an error message whenever I try to start Leadwerks 4.6 from Steam.

Often I get a popup reading:

Clicking OK causes the box to disappear and aborts the launch.

 

Sometimes I'll get the below:

Clicking OK causes the box to disappear and aborts the launch.

 

 

Occasionally I'll manage to load into my project and get the below error:

Clicking OK exits Leadwerks. I have since installed OpenAL though it wasn't really causing trouble anyway.

 

Starting Steam as administrator allows Leadwerks to launch normally, but I shouldn't have to do this.

Any idea what's happening?

I don't seem to have trouble with any other software (that I know of) so I'm hoping I can rule any hardware faults out. Visual C++ Redistributables all up to date and installed. Windows is all up to date (aside running Windows 11). I've tried removing C:\Users\USER\Documents\Leadwerks\Leadwerks.cfg and this allows me to access the project manager, but then I get the Exception Access Violation error again when loading into a project. My drivers are all up to date. I've also tried using different versions of Leadwerks (via the Beta options) and they each give me the same problems. I've also verified game files and also uninstalled and reinstalled Leadwerks.

System Specs:

  • Windows 10 Pro 22H2
  • AMD Ryzen 9 7950X 16-Core Processor 4.50 GHz
  • AMD RX 7900 XTX
  • 32.0 GB RAM (DDR 5) (DOCP toggled on)

If it works as admin but does not otherwise it sounds like a file access problem. Are you doing anything funny with your Documents folder or Windows settings?

My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.

Define 'funny' :)

I'm not aware of anything odd with my Documents or Windows settings. I did change my account name a few months ago but it seems the documents folder retains the same name that was previously set up on Windows install

That could be funny. Do you think the user account you are using maybe can't access the old Documents folder?
