I have been trying to fix Shadow Warrior 2 for some time now. As far as i can tell the came just closes itself when it tries to autosave. Most of the time I run past a checkpoing or teleport. This doesn't happen everytime the game autosave, but enough for it to be almost impossible to progress.

This is what I could find relating to the problem in a crash file (which is now lost on the dead drive which is mentioned below).

exception code: 0xC0000005
exception information: The thread tried to read from or write to a virtual address for which it does not have the appropriate access.
process name: ShadowWarrior2.exe : E:\Games\GoG Galaxy\Shadow Warrior 2\ShadowWarrior2.exe

I have installed the latest drivers for everything on my computer, I've also updated the bios (loosing a harddrive in the process). I've tried Borderless, windowed and fullscreen. I've reinstalled the game, tinkered with the autosave bin, disabled SLI and moved the game to a diffrent harddrive.

I'm using Windows 10 and my relevant hardware specs are:

2x GTX 780TI
i7-7700k clocked to 4.8ghz
32gb 3000mhz

I'm at a complete loss at the moment. Any help would be very appriciated. Thank you in advance!

Update: I fixed it. After trying everything from updating the bios (killing an ssd in the process) to running an MD5 check on the exe file I've finaly fixed the problem!

It's very embaressing but my anti-virus software detected the autosaves as "Ransomware behavior". The reason I never figured it out was because it never told me it was blocking the application. As a somewhat nerdy person, this has humbled me! xD

I will keep this thread here just in case anyone else have the same problem.

Well, thanks anyway! ^^

It is probably alright as long as you did not do anything further about it. Updating the BIOS might have changed the settings how it interacts with said SSD. You just need to change to the same settings for it that you had before, IF this is the reason. If you have desperately tried to fix it in many ways.... you might have deleted the data on the SSD though.

Sadly I can't find the SSD in the BIOS or in the disk management tool. I've tried changing the cable, moved the drive to a different port. And as you mention, i tried changing back to AHCI and it didn't work i'm afraid :/. My plan now is to find another computer to test the drive in and see if it can be saved, or atleast the data on it.

Very greatful for the suggestion though! I haven't tried to format or extract the data yet, so it should still be safe. It's hard to beleive that a BIOS update would kill a ssd, but i can't really find any other explanation at this time. It was a OCZ drive though, those aren't of the highest quality.
