Greetings @karyleung1

Welcome to the Unreal Engine Community Forums! I’m fairly familiar with this error as well as Squad itself. If you’re using an Nvidia/Geforce GPU, I’d start by going into the NVidia Control Panel and resetting your GPU Global Settings to Default and try it again. If that doesn’t work contact back here and we can look into other options. I hope that this helps!

Exactly the same problem here

Hello @karyleung1

Were you able to resolve the issue with the steps I recommended? If not, feel free to post back here and we can look further into the issue. Thank you!

hello, I am also having this issue and this suggestion did not resolve the issue. Do you have any further suggestions or anything I can do? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game and I have tried restoring all global settings as the previous post suggested. I was able to play for about five minutes then it crashed again with the same message. My specs are Nvidia RTX 4060Ti 8GB, Intel i5-3400CPU, G.Skill 16GB RGB DDR4 RAM (I am new to computers so I include this). What are other possible solutions. Thankyou!

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000000 ----------This is what my error reads

That’s a null pointer exception. It’s caused by the developer trying to access an initialized pointer in most cases.

In some rare cases the engine is trying to access hardware that may be faulty returning a null pointer.

You could try installing unreal engine 4 with debug symbols and then the engine might give you a more detailed error message.

Now it is giving this message.

I deleted all %localapdata% of squad and it temporarily fixed it. Now it crashes even with this fix. What is the solution? Thank you!

now this

It’s a hardware problem, not an unreal problem at this point.

If you are overclocking your cpu or gpu then turn them back to stock settings.
Turn off MSI afterburner if you have it.

Try different versions of gpu drivers (maybe one version back).

Check if your windows updates are up to date.

Try turning off Dlss frame generation and see if it prevents the crashes.

Ive reset everything on my computer to default. The weirdest thing about the crashes is some days it will work perfectly and I can play for hours and never have issue. Then other days it will not even play for 5 minutes. Ive updated my drivers. I will check for MSI after burner and see if this helps. Thankyou for the continued support and help.

Edit: i do not have MSI afterburner

It’s been awhile since I’ve played the game, and now I’m running into the same issue. It consistently goes like this:

Join a server, see the load screen with the map name, wait 2-3 min and get kicked back to main menu with a message about lost connection. Join a server again, get into the match, and have about 1-1 1/2 min to choose team/squad/spawn before I crash with this error. The end of the number after reading address has changed a couple times but everything else is consistent.

I’ve tried the following:

reset GPU global settings to default
update drivers
update windows
check integrity of game files
uninstall/reinstall

At this point I’m at a loss for anything else I could do. Has anyone found a reliable solution? Here are my specs (I’m playing on an HP Omen 16-wd0xxx)

13th gen intel i5-13420H 2100 MHz 8 cores 12 logical processors
NVidia RTX 4050 (laptop) 6GB vram
16 GB ram

I’ve played squad for years on other laptops with some absolute trash laptops, and this is by far the best specs I’ve ever had for gaming. I have no issues at all running any other game at max settings, so someone please tell me this isn’t a hardware issue. I bought this laptop less than a year ago.

Also, I don’t download or use mods for this or any other game, and I don’t know anything about overclocking and stuff like that. I download a game through steam and hit play.

hey i got the same error with the message being
