Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000000

In my case, I was messing around with UDP sockets and intentionally connected to a port from a different app. Then tried to connect to that same port through UE5 and it threw the same exception.
So out of curiosity, I googled and found this post. As @Ari_Epic mentioned:

it adds up with my scenario.

So I suggest you do check for the same (if any other app is listening to the same port).
and you can find that from cmd:

netstat -ano | findstr <port_no>

image
it would give you the process id (i.e. 4932)

and you can kill it with

tskill <PID>

Hope it helps :slight_smile:
