Help please. A new error? Exception_Access_Violation at 0023: 005EEC30

[jssjr90]

Well when I was developing more on my custom story today I came across a new nasty fatal error that I simply cannot trace.Every time I enter my level after the 2nd time entering it, It seems it loads in the loading screen and bam!: Exception_Access_Violation in module Amnesia.exe at 0023: 005EEC30.
There is no tracing information in the blackbox debug error section; all blank.
All the scripts are clean in the map so I know its not the .hps file.
It must be just something with in the map but I cleaned that up too.
This is a 1MB map file. Heck I even made a 8MB map file and that loads every single time.
Any ideas guys?

check the hpl.log for errors etc...

This is all it gives me with in the map its trying to load. Any Ideas?

I cannot give support for custom stories, you have to ask the creator for help on such issues since almost always it is their bugs.

[jssjr90]

I am the creator. This is the most frustrating and most puzzling bug, its not in the .hps scripts at all. It has to be sompthing with in the map it self or something.

try resaving the map from inside the level editor, some cache file seems to be missing...

[jssjr90]

Well that's weird because non of my maps have cache files associated with them and they all load fine but ok ill try and see what happens.

Ok after some testing it seems that from going in and out of the level, it seems that it took 7 re-entries for me to get that error again. I even renamed the map properly. Are cache files usaly bad?

I see why... You need to be a Administrator to open the "certain file", if you're not the administrator then you must run Amnesia.exe as Admin.

Right Click on C:/program files (x86)/steam/steamapps/common/Amnesia_The_Dark_Descent/Amnesia.exe, then click on "Run as Administrator".


This should solve your problem for sure.

No luck there. I did that and it still gives me this error. On top of that, the security UAC loops infinity, so I had to run the launcher.exe as admin to stop that. But yea still no luck. It must be something with in the game engine itself.
