    after doing some research fault code 0xc0000005 seems to point to DEP shutting the program down.
    i have ran all of my anti virus, Avast, AVG. as well as malwarebytes, and have found nothing. plus this is the only game on my system that crashes.

    i really hope i don't have to do another complete reinstall, this would be the third to resolve issues. but at least each issue has been different than the previous

    Turn off DEP and try it without it on?

    Try this:
    1. Open the Control Panel and go to System and Security.
    2. Click on the System tab, then click Advanced System Settings.
    3. Under Performance, click Settings.
    4. Go to the Data Execution Prevention tab and click OK.
    5. Close the System window and try the LaunchPad again.
    Let me know if that helps.

    I seem to get a lot of crashes/freezes when loading. Usually it freezes when the bar comes to 100%. It's GETTING REALLY ANNOYING

    there is no way to turn off dep completely, and i cannot add planetside2 as an exception because it requires dep. so i am currently stuck. DEP was already set to on and i did what you suggested and it happened again, it happens when i switch characters or continents normally, but sometimes during play it happens as well.
