Question Error message while playing Hitman 2

[Dcopymope]

To start off, the game has been running smoothly ever since I turned off the 'Override Memory Safeguards' feature shown below. When I had it on though, the game kept crashing to the desktop. I kept trying until I finally got this error message, also shown below. I'm just curious, does this particular error message occur due to my GPU running out of video memory and being unable to allocate the data? The correlation is very strong since the issue disappeared when I cut the memory safeguards back on. I'll play the game again right now just to make sure my mind isn't playing tricks on me or something.

The Error Message Says: "The exception break point.......A break point has been reached. (0X0000003) Occurred in the application at location 0x00000001410C413D"

The Override Memory Safeguards Feature:

From where did you download the game? Also, are all available patches/updates (if any) applied?

I got it from Steam. I thought that was the only place you can get it from unless you get a hard disk version on the console or something. Cutting off the 'memory safeguards' was the deal breaker, it couldn't stop crashing, and then I got this error message. Its been working fine ever since I cut it back on though, which makes me curious.

Dubiously acquired games often have such errors (pirated). In your case, that doesn't apply (a good thing).

The next time is dies, look in Event Viewer for additional clues. Are your video drivers current? Same for Windows, in general.

My operating system and drivers are up to date. It does me give the option to install a feature for windows 10 version 1909 though. I have no idea what that feature is.

1909 is just the latest major release version. I installed on all of my systems, easily. No issues whatsoever afterward.

It is recommended for use. After installing, update your video drivers.

Well, I'll consider it if I start having issues again. I just wanted to know what the error message was about. It seemed to be related to video memory.

Here is what the event viewer reported at the time it crashed:

Yesterday the game crashed on me again twice in a row. They were both reported as an "application error" but the exception codes were different from each other. It seems like I fixed it by running a chkdsk scan at boot time, so it was obviously happening due to some corrupt or missing files relating to this game. I'm just wondering how I would know this just by looking at these event logs. Would I know by both logs being titled "Application Error" or is there more to it? Its hard to find out what exactly these exception codes even mean without running it through some kind of debugger. 🤔
