Crashing 1-8 times per day

I thought it might be an issue with my ram, video card, psu, or something. Nope, 0 errors or warnings from any of the crashes I've gotten in the past week.



The times it crashed today, so far, have been 3.

1. Was in Insulam de Nocte, just standing there. My guildy zones into town and I crash.
2. Walking up the stairs of my row lot.
3. Moved a book on my bookshelf in my row lot.

Yesterday, 4 or 5 crashes

1. While fighting the Aether Dragon.
2. After getting killed by the Aether dragon, being resed, not being able to move after being resed, then crashed.
3. Going to another zone.
4. Playing fleet flute on the overworld map.
5. Don't remember.

Previous to yesterday, 1-8 crashes per day. Happening during all sorts of game play. Fighting, walking on the world map, zoning, crafting, talking to the oracle. Basically anything could be going on and a crash would occur.

Uninstalled and re-installed the latest driver, for good measure. Didn't seem to have any impact.

 

Looking further into the crash with windows looks like the issue is related to an access violation in the unity player.

The Exception Code Exception code: 0xc0000005 which I searched seemed to be a common issue with access violations.

 

there is an output_log.txt somewhere (dont have sota on this machine - criminal i know) but, in there it shows the errors sota outputted while running, now often many are deemed "normal" but towards the end it may show some hints as to what is causing the crash, warning check the outout_log.txt has the date/time you were last in game!

 

I am also getting multiple crashes per day. Some are straight to desktop, some are Unity crashes and some are problems loading maps - I can get to 98% and the game stops responding.

I find that many of my crashes can happen just when I'm running around (usually Unity); crashes to desktop are usually mapping out of wherever I am - into a basement, out of a basement or to another town. Sometimes, just picking up an object to move it will cause me to crash.

This started happening last week. I reinstalled the game, updated all of my drivers...

 

Mine stopped completely. Once the new video driver came out, had no more crashes.
