What is it and what does it do?

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 says it needs 16GB of vram

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

Interesting, I don't remember it being talked about for any other game before it was used as an attack on this one. My read from the industry is that it's a meat grinder, so I would have assumed that most people working on any project are at least new to the company. Plus the big hiring drive that everyone went on during COVID must have brought in lots of inexperienced game Devs to all games?

Is that unusual?

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

How many adaptations came out this year? Maybe they had to have a list of 6...

You missed the end of the quote, "Dragon Age: The Veilguard is this year’s Alan Wake 2, squeaking onto the Golden Joysticks’ GOTY shortlist at the last minute, joining fellow award outliers Tekken 8 and Helldivers 2."

The similarity with Alan Wake is that it launched so close to the cut off for the shortlist.

I think the author is saying it doesn't belong on the list, along with Tekken and Helldivers.
