Cyberpunk 2077 won't launch? Read this.

So I have seen many people are getting issues with getting this game running out of the box. "Cyberpunk 2077 has flatlined" Error or more specifically,

Spoiler

Error reason: Unhandled exception
Expression: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xC0000005)
Message: The thread attempted to read inaccessible data at 0xED5F70.
File: <Unknown>(0)

 

 

It turns out, older version of Windows, more specifically older versions of Windows 10 will not run the game. At all. You need to update to the latest version for it to run.

If you can't run Windows Update for any reason, you can still get the latest Windows 10 Upgrade for free with the Windows 10 Update Assistant. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

 

If you can't for any reason upgrade your Windows 10, the next best option would be to play on Windows 7.

Windows 8 and 8.1 likely will not work with this title.

 

Good luck choombas and have fun!
