Hey everybody,

whenver I try to launch the game I get an error that says 0xc0000005...
How do I fix this?
My OS is Win 7 Home Premium.

Thanks in advance

I had the same problem with my Windows XP PC. I was able to solve it by disabling Windows Data Execution Prevention (DEP) for patrician3.exe. In Windows XP, this can be done by:
1) Log into your computer as the administrator.
2) Go to the control panel.
3) Double click on the "system" icon
4) Go to the advanced tab
5) Under performance, click settings
6) Go to the Data Execution Prevention tab
7)Click add to add patrician3.exe to the list.

I don't know how this works in Windows 7, so you may need to perform some variations of these steps to get it working on your PC.

i am having the same problem and the above post did NOT fix it. I even added exceptions for all exe files in the folder.

To help narrow down the cause of your error, why don't you try running patrician 3 while temporarily turning off DEP (i.e. limit DEP to Windows services only)? If it runs like so, then you would probably need to only add some executables to the DEP exclusion list.

By the way, what OS are you using?
