[Finessè-sargeras]

any idea anyone?

[Fateswarning-jaedenar]

How are you updating your Nvidia drivers?

[Finessè-sargeras]

they are on the latest update 516.94 and i always do clean install

I’m having the same issue as you.

Error 132 Crash

I should include that I have already tried a fresh install of the game, and the scan and repair feature in the battle.net launcher. I have also scrapped all of my addons and UI elements, and am still getting the error. I have also done a clean install of my NVIDIA drivers, all to no avail. Also, on advice from previous posts, I’m reaching out to NVIDIA as well to see if they are able to do anything for me. Thank you!

I haven’t been able to find a fix yet, reached out to NVIDIA, was with their customer support for like 30 minutes, followed all their steps, and still got the error message.
If you find a fix, ping me please!

[Fateswarning-jaedenar]

Define clean install. DDU?
Also, have you tried to roll back one driver?

[Shauliz-malganis]

Looks like a bios update has fixed this problem for me… so far. Would strongly recommend doing so, if you’re comfortable with it.

[Finessè-sargeras]

yes ddu clean install, is not nvidia, is the windows update that is doing it, i uninstalled the windows and is fine, i reinstall it and i get the error,

[Fateswarning-jaedenar]

10-4. I don’t have a 3090, just an old 2080 TI. And I’m on the latest Windows 10 build KB5016616 which is one newer than what you tried to install. Is that update available?

@Finessè-sargeras

is not nvidia, is the windows update that is doing it,

Never let Windows handle your drivers, always use the manufacturer’s tools to download the latest version.

Are you still experiencing issues? An access violation is usually related to drive permissions or RAM, not the GPU.

Has anyone gotten an answer to this issue? I am getting this as well. I have gone through everything that Blizz has suggested to check/change (to include updating bios) and still get the error.

Blizzard’s suggestions:

Error 132 is a generic error code that may be caused by out-of-date addons, corrupted files, incompatible drivers, or hardware issues. The steps below address the most common causes.

1. Update your drivers and operating system to resolve any compatibility issues.

2. Reset your user interface to make sure your files and addons are not corrupted.

3. Close all other applications to resolve software conflicts and free up resources.

4. Update or temporarily uninstall any security programs, which may mistakenly identify the login module as a security threat.

5. Overheating can cause performance issues, game crashes, and full computer lockups. Check for overheating components.

6. If the problem persists, uninstall and reinstall the game.

If anyone can assist with this, I would be greatly appreciated.
