Error #0000005 (0xC0000005) usually means an access violation.
- 👉🏻 In simple terms, the game is trying to access something it’s not allowed to.
This is usually NOT caused by the game itself, but by your system environment.
⚠️ Most common causes:
- Missing or broken Visual C++ Redistributables
- Missing .NET Runtime
- Antivirus / Windows Defender blocking files
- Corrupted game files
- Outdated or broken GPU drivers
✅ Please try these steps:
- Reinstall Visual C++ (VERY IMPORTANT)
Install both:
- x64
- x86 (Install all versions if possible)
- Install / update .NET Runtime
- Update your GPU drivers (NVIDIA / AMD / Intel)
- Check antivirus
- Temporarily disable it
- Or add the game folder to exclusions
- Re-download the game
- Make sure the file is not corrupted
- Fully extract the .zip before running
- Run as Administrator
- Right-click the game → Run as Administrator
💡 If it still doesn’t work:
Please provide:
- Your Windows version
- Your GPU
- A screenshot of the game folder
This error is very common and usually fixable once the required components are installed correctly.
