Mass Effect Andromeda repeatedly crashing due to 0xc0000005 error
I just reinstalled Andromeda following a Legendary Edition run, and cannot make it even INTO the Prologue; the game crashes, without fail, during the shuttle sequence from Ark Hyperion to Habitat 7. I disabled all mods, deleted the ModData folder, deleted settings and all saves from my Documents folder and reinstalled the game from scratch for a 100% clean build. Even completely vanilla, the game still crashes. I was able to play on launch and back in 2021 just fine. It cannot possibly be a hardware issue- my laptop exceeds the specs of what I had in both 2017 and 2021. It's not from mods, as stated. However, I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is. DxDiag attached. The latest crash log .dmp is: (Apologies for the long text, but I can't attach the .dmp file) ******************************************************************************* * * * Exception Analysis * * * ******************************************************************************* KEY_VALUES_STRING: 1 Key : AV.Type Value: Execute Key : Analysis.CPU.mSec Value: 312 Key : Analysis.Elapsed.mSec Value: 876 Key : Analysis.IO.Other.Mb Value: 0 Key : Analysis.IO.Read.Mb Value: 1 Key : Analysis.IO.Write.Mb Value: 23 Key : Analysis.Init.CPU.mSec Value: 578 Key : Analysis.Init.Elapsed.mSec Value: 16116 Key : Analysis.Memory.CommitPeak.Mb Value: 148 Key : Analysis.Version.DbgEng Value: 10.0.27871.1001 Key : Analysis.Version.Description Value: 10.2505.01.02 amd64fre Key : Analysis.Version.Ext Value: 1.2505.1.2 Key : Failure.Bucket Value: SOFTWARE_NX_FAULT_INVALID_POINTER_EXECUTE_c0000005_MassEffectAndromeda.exe!Unknown Key : Failure.Exception.Code Value: 0xc0000005 Key : Failure.Exception.IP.Address Value: 0x1418a04c3 Key : Failure.Exception.IP.Module Value: MassEffectAndromeda Key : Failure.Exception.IP.Offset Value: 0x18a04c3 Key : Failure.Hash Value: {6c6255bc-d97d-5c28-9468-c31f00b4fa08} Key : Failure.ProblemClass.Primary Value: SOFTWARE_NX_FAULT Key : Timeline.OS.Boot.DeltaSec Value: 419931 Key : Timeline.Process.Start.DeltaSec Value: 92 Key : WER.OS.Branch Value: ge_release Key : WER.OS.Version Value: 10.0.26100.1 Key : WER.Process.Version Value: 1.0.0.0 FILE_IN_CAB: CrashDump_2025.07.20_01.10.12.171.dmp COMMENT: Frostbite MiniDump.

Andromeda multiplayer "you have lost your connection to the session" (PC)
So I have been playing Andromeda for quite some time, but now that I tried to join multiplayer i got the error "you have lost you connection to the game session". it pops up more than 80% of the time. I might only play a game or two in 3 hours because its almost impossible to join a game, and no one would be able to enter if I host. very few times I get to join a lobby, but most of the time the error appears and kicks me out of the lobby. Is there any way to fix this issue ? thanks in advance !
