File Exception

[Demonblackie]

I've had a recurring issue with the game CTD'ing unexpectedly recently. I've been playing the game a long time and it's only started happening within the last few weeks. I've already gone through Steam and verified the game files, so apparently that's not it. The exceptions.log text file shows this line from the latest crash:

######## EXCEPTION: 0xC0000005 at address: 0x01340842: ACCESS VIOLATION read attempt to address 0x0000002C
Version: CK2/branches/2_4_3
24920

Is there a way to figure out what this means and how to stop it?

Also, just for information, the game is unmodded and contains every DLC to date with the exception of some of the latest cosmetic stuff.

Please do a full clean re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "delete local content" in Steam-EU4
- manually delete all files and folders left under Steam/SteamApps/common/EU4 AND Documents/Paradox/EU4
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- start the game with no mods active and test
