Remnant 2 Exception Access Violation [FIXED]

Remnant 2 is the new big gun in town for gamers to try around, but this gun often gets jammed with bugs. One such jam is the Exception Access Violation error in Remnant 2. This error appears mid-play and straight-up crashes the game. But don’t fret: We will get your gun cleaned right up and back to shooting by helping you resolve this issue.

What Is The Exception Access Violation Error?

Players have generally experienced the error as soon as mid-way through the tutorial. The error generally reads Fatal Error! Unhandled Exception… This error generally happens when your program tries to access a part of the memory it doesn’t have access to. 

In the case of Remnant 2, the error could happen for a multitude of reasons. This could include not meeting the minimum system requirements or an overclock that the game doesn’t like. Since the issue could originate from various reasons, we have included all the fixes that have worked for players so far. To be aware of what specifically was broken, it’s recommended that you go through the fixes in order.

Run SFC Scan

An SFC scan checks for your essential Windows file’s integrity and tries to repair them. While not proven, this could potentially fix the exception access violation error in Remnant 2. Doing so would eliminate your operating system as a potential cause.

To do an SFC scan, go through the following steps:

1. Right-Click on your Start Button and click on Command Prompt.

   

2. Once opened, type sfc /scannow and hit Enter.

   

3. Now, just wait for the verification to complete.

Disable E-Cores For Remnant 2

E-Cores are an essential part of newer CPU architectures. They take over minute tasks and help save overall power consumption. However, they achieve this because they are generally way less powerful than your more conventional P-Cores. Sometimes, these E-Cores can start working alongside P-Cores on the same task, and this can create problems.

So disabling them to fix Remnant 2’s Exception Access Violation error would be a good idea. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Boot into your BIOS by pressing the appropriate function key on bootup. (This could be F2, F10, F12, etc)
2. Once in, look for a tab that reads Advanced CPU Settings or CPU Configuration and Click on it.
3. Now, look for a setting called Active Effecient Cores or just E-Cores and disable it.
4. Once done, click on the Exit Tab and click on Exit After Saving Changes or the like.

Verify Game Files

Lastly, a more conventional fix would be to validate your game files to make sure your game files are all good to go. To do so, go through the following steps:

Steam:

1. Once in Steam, Right-Click on Remnant 2 and Click on Properties.

   

2. Now, select the Local Files tab and Click on Verify Integrity of Game Files.

   

3. Now, just wait for the whole process to finish.

   

Epic Games Store:

1. Once in Epic Launcher, look for Remnant 2 in your library.
2. Once found, click on the 3 Dots on the right side of the game and select Manage.

   

3. Afterwards, just click on the Verify Button and wait for the process to finish.

   

Revert Any Overclocks & Undervolts

So far, most of the prevalent errors in Remnant 2, like Exception Access Violation, have been a direct cause of either undervolting or overclocking your CPU. For some reason, the game doesn’t like either, even if they are stable and working for almost everything else. So, it would be a good idea to revert those changes if applied.

To do so, simply boot into BIOS or open whatever utility you may have used for the operations, like Intel XTU. Afterwards, in the case of BIOS, just load up your setup defaults from the exit menu and save the changes. And in the case of a Utility Program, just load up your defaults or turn the options off as a whole. When done, make sure to restart your computer just so the CPU boots up with the default setup.

Final Words

With that, we conclude our guide on the issue. Hopefully, you will have resolved your issue with the game by following the solutions mentioned. Remnant 2 has been a hit among players ever since its release, and the developers are constantly working towards making it a more enjoyable and bug-free experience. But it is important to note that any game of this scale is bound to have some bugs and errors, and that’s just unavoidable.
