Wow unplayable - Access Violation - Memory cannot be written

[Crowe-stormscale]

Hi there,

Since last night both Retail and Classic wow are randomly completely unplayable.

I keep receiving " Access Violation - Memory cannot be written."

This happens the second I press launch.

I have troubleshooted close to all day, doing the following:

So far I have:

-Reinstalled wow

-Removed addons

-Checked BIOS for overclocking and disabled Intel boost.

-Clean booted pc to ensure no other background apps are interfering

-Disabled optional gpu features and advanced work submit.

Has anybody experienced this issue and found a fix? I’m pulling my hair out here!

Most recent crash report for Blizz: FEF02E87-AEEA-4305-9618-17CC98D1781E

If anybody would like to help, happy to provide some additional system info.

P.s on a gen 7 Intel (lol)

Thank you!

I had this problem three weeks ago. I unnstalled wow (and manually deleted everything in wow folder except screenshots) and did fresh install. I also updated Intel drivers for built-in graphic card, because I read somwhere that this problem might be due to Intel drivers (even though game is running on Gforce). Although I reinstalled Windows in 2022, Intel drivers were from 2015, but the latest Intel drivers that I could find for my old notebook were from 2020. And it worked somehow, no problems since then.

Mate you’re actually a legend.

Do you know I’ve spent two days on my fu**ing BIOS and my Command Prompt, watching hours of tutorials and getting nothing?

All of my drivers are up to date, factory reset all of my settings etc.

All I had to do was manually delete all my WoW files and then reinstall, turns out there was something corrupt in the WoW folder that was not deleting through the Battle Net uninstall function.
