Hello.

Since yesterday, I’ve been having a problem with the game “ContractVille.” It crashes on startup with the error message “EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION.” I’ve tried many things to fix it, but unfortunately, nothing works.

Game crashes on startup with EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION writing address 0x0000000000000000.

System:

AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT
AMD Ryzen 7 7700X
Windows 10
32GB RAM

What I already tried:

verified game files
deleted %localappdata%\ContractVille
deleted savegames
full uninstall and reinstall
removed remaining install folder manually
disabled overlays
reinstalled VC++ redistributables
clean AMD driver reinstall
ran SFC/DISM
tested with and without -dx11
GPU drivers reset

Result:

crash still happens immediately on startup
crash context shows SecondsSinceStart=0
same error every time

Attached:

latest CrashContext.runtime-xml
