With the launch of REMATCH, Sloclap’s much-awaited 5v5 action football game is making waves among players who seem to be particularly enjoying the thrill of scoring goals. But for many PC players, this exciting experience has been interrupted by a persistent EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION error, often leading to frustrating game crashes. This crash typically occurs during startup or gameplay and is often caused by memory access conflicts—when the game tries to access a protected or invalid part of your system’s memory. If you’re running into this problem, here are some potential fixes you can try before waiting for an official patch.

Verify Game Files
Verifying game files will repair any corrupted or missing game files causing the error. To do this: Open Steam, go to Library, right-click REMATCH -> Properties -> Installed Files -> Verify integrity of game files. After the scan is done, launch the game to check whether the issue persists.
Run Game as Administrator
Sometimes, insufficient permissions can cause this error. Navigate to REMATCH’s installation folder, right-click the game’s executable file (.exe), select “Properties,” go to the “Compatibility” tab, and checkmark the “Run this program as an administrator” option. Now, launch the game to check whether the issue persists.
Disable Overclocking or Undervolting
If you have manually tweaked your graphics card or CPU by overclocking or undervolting, try running them at stock speeds. You can use applications like MSI Afterburner or Intel Extreme Tuning Utility (XTU) to revert any custom settings to default.
Update GPU drivers
Make sure that your GPU drivers are updated. It is possible that this issue is occurring due to outdated GPU drivers. So, visit the official Nvidia/AMD website and then download the latest GPU drivers. Install them and then restart your PC. Once done, launch the game to check whether the issue persists.
Delete “Runtime” Folder
A Reddit user reported that after updating their system’s graphics drivers, deleting the Runtime folder helped them temporarily fix the issue. To do this, just follow the steps:
- Close Rematch and Steam
- Go to the following directory: C:\Users\[YourUser]\AppData\Local\
- Look for a folder named “Runtime” within the Local directory.
- Delete the entire “Runtime” folder.
- Launch Rematch, and check if the issue still persists.
Update Windows
Ensure your operating system is fully up to date. Microsoft frequently releases Windows updates that include performance improvements and bug fixes relevant to gaming and system stability. Go to Settings > Windows Update and check for any pending updates. For Windows 11 users, specifically look for and install all the latest “KB patches,” as there have been reports of recent updates resolving game-related crashes.
If all else fails, keep an eye on Rematch’s official Discord or Steam forums, as the developers might share some workarounds for the same. Anyway, if you find this guide informative, you can check out our site, DigiStatement, as we post more gaming-related guides and fixes.
