Avast causing my games to fail launching.

[styngi91]

Hello, everyone.
The past few months I have been experiencing issues where some times, my games won't launch and I get an error like this: "The application was unable to start correctly(0xc0000005)". When I turn off Avast, it all works like normally. I have added all of my game folders to the exclusions in Avast, but I still some times get this bug and it's really frustrating. I tried using Norton for a month where I didn't get that bug a single time. I have also tried reinstalling all of my games before writing this and they still crash when Avast's shields are up, so I'm sure it's something from Avast. The games I play are both from Steam, Battle Net and Riot Games. Do you have any ideas on how I can fix this?
Thanks beforehand

By "Turning off Avast" I mean disabling the shields.

the free avast? im using avast free and do not have any issues. i too have battlenet and steam, probably play the same games as u.

yopu should de-activate the firewall if you got a paid avast.

I have the free Avast also and do not have any issues with games? Where are you "buying" these games?

i play game on arc blizzard and steam and been using avast free for more then 10 years without issue if the game are not legit one even on those avast will block them .

Yeah, I've never had a problem with Avast interfering with games before, either. You might be better server asking Avast themselves.

Probably from the best game vendor, The Pirate Bay

I also have the free version of avast. It sucks so much that I have to turn the shields off every time a game doesn't work

The games I play are all bought. I ain't about pirating. CSGO, Rocket League, PUBG, and GTA V are just some of them

It's the new update with avast you have to go into the settings and make exceptions for the games and then it will be fixed it happened to me too.
Settings. Components. Then I think it was behavior shield. And go to exceptions and then search for what you want to add thats getting blocked by avast. If it wasn't behavior shield then file shield.

I have done that. It still doesn't work, even when I exclude both my game folders and the whole drive I have my games on.
