STATUS ACCESS VIOLATION when trying to host a MP game
New, NormalPublic

Description

Hello,
Every single time I try to host a game to play with a friend, as soon as I click on "host server" the game hangs up for a little bit then crashes. This happens everytime, and I think that this might be related to the fact that I can't seem to see any servers when I go on the server browser.

Additional Information

I have tried reinstalling the game, switching the memory allocators, updating my drivers, and checking the game's files through steam. I also disabled Sophos' scanning. I can run the game without mods at a consistent 50 or so FPS (with a bit of lag when there's a lot happening) and around 30 to 40 with mods (RHS, ACE and such) even though my computer is quite old. I used to be able to play on MP before (I used to play in a milsim unit with a ton of mods) but haven't played multiplayer in around a year. I absolutely adore this game and would love to be able to play in multiplayer again (and try out the apex protocol since I finally got myself the DLC) so thanks in advance for checking my ticket!

Interestingly enough, even trying to host LAN games doesn't work since it shows me a sliver of a menu for a split second before kicking me out to the server browser.

yes, it's pretty much my only hope to still play MP again but I think it got dashed, I'm at my freaking wits end with this

update! The issue seems to be Battleye related, because I tried turning it off and the server list got filled up instantly, and I can both host LAN and Internet. I can't play on a majority of servers yet (because no Battleye duh) BUT I will do some experimenting tomorrow!
