Every time I try to open Chivalry 2 i get this message, didn't happen yesterday.

So I am not a coder/developer, I don’t know anything about that, but I couldn’t find the correct help forum to post on but maybe y’all know something. It only happens with Chivalry 2 on Steam, and it didn’t happen yesterday when i played and nothing about my pc has changed since then.

So far I have verified integrity of game files, checked to ensure drivers were up to date, restarted pc, uninstalled and reinstalled Chivalry, and have tried to look up the error code online and in other forums and reddit but nothing useful came up. What does that access violation even mean? And the stuff below it?

Hard to know, likely the exe is not finding something it needs on your computer.

check the game instalation folder see if there are any microsoft framework installation packages. Maybe it failed to install on your computer. Most windows installation have all these frameworks installed at some point by various programs and even if a game fails to install them they still work. But who knows, you are the lucky guy
