  The exception code you are getting appears to indicate some code is trying to execute something very low level (e.g. direct device access) when it isn’t allowed.

  This isn’t a widespread issue, so it seems reasonable to assume that it is specific to your machine.

  My guesses are:

  • Corrupt game files, try deleting the user data for the game. Not sure where that lives.

  • Corrupt install but I think you’ve addressed that.

  • Corrupt windows, a scan disk check might repair something.

  • Corrupt drivers:

  • Fresh install of GPU drivers, using amd’s tool or ddu.

  • Update chipset drivers if there are any.

  • Disable or uninstall anything that controls additional devices. E.g. led or fan controllers like Armoury crate or MSI afterburner.

  • Any other app that injects itself into the process. Game overlay, antivirus. Amd adrenaline does this, as can steam and gamebar.

  I think the implication was that the prisoners are actually hostages too.

  How else can you judge what direction they might go in? If you like the projects they worked on in the past does it not make it more likely that you’ll like their next project? Effectively we are getting a merger of two of the better publishers that are going independent from more corporate overlords? Maybe I’m being overly optimistic…

  It was the photo mode and filters setting in the overlay. You can switch it off.

  On the same day I got an email to say my savings rates were going down, what a surprise!

  It does though doesn’t it, it has a fall back execution route on non-intel GPUs that isn’t as good?

  Might be a UK thing, it’s the standard size in multi packs. Asda
