Error 0xc0000005. Can't launch game.

by Zaniun » Sun Mar 20, 2016 1:51 pm

Hello

I get an error when trying to launch the game.
This only happens when trying to launch nostalrius. Everything else works. Yesterday it worked fine. Today it didnt.

Ive tried the following:
Reinstalling the game completly, with no addons or anything. Twice.
Downgrading video drivers, no success.
SFC done. Says everything works fine.
Doublechecked memory in another system to make sure it works.
Malware/virus scanned my system and nothing found.

Ive done no changes to my computer, software or the game itself since last i played it. Then the error appeared today.

if you have AVG anti virus it's a common problem, you can type on google " Error 0xc0000005 AVG wow "
this error can happen after a simple update..

1. Open your AVG program.
2. From the Options menu select Advanced settings.
3. In the left pane select Exceptions.
4. In the right pane click Add exception.
5. In the drop-down menu please select the exception type.
6. Browse to the file, folder that you want to exclude (WoW.exe in this case )
7. Click OK to save details of the exception.
8. Click OK again to save the settings.

maybe this simple trick gonna help u

This was the solution.
Thank you very much kind sir!

I shouldve searched that on google, tho i thought it was only nost related, as i didnt have any issues with my retail wow, as it apparently already was added on AVG.
This information is nowhere to be found on nost forum though :D So i really appriciate it!

Post can be locked if anything. Problem is solved.
