Own Analysis
I inspected the minidumps with a debugger:
- Exception: 0xC0000005 (Access Violation, READ)
- Address: 0x000000000000000B → null pointer access
- Affected Module: FC26.exe itself (no third-party DLLs/hooks involved)
- Instruction Address: 0x0000000149A95AC3
- Crash occurred multiple times at the exact same address → reproducible game bug.
