How to resolve the Access Violation (C0000005h) issue in Death Stranding?
So I've been playing Death Stranding and my game keeps on crashing when I walk through tall grass at Windfall Farm. I receive the following error message:

I have already tried verifying the integrity of game files, updating my GPU drivers and launching as admin. I'd be grateful for any advice from you guys.
Do you have any contacts who can try the game for you? Only to check if it works on another system since it could be a bug. You'll need to determine whether the issue lies with your operating system, the game itself, hardware problems, or something else.
I turned off Nvidia DLSS and the game no longer crashes, lol. Post left just in case anyone wants to check.
PCGamingWiki is a platform where I frequently discover solutions for gaming issues, including links to Steam and Subreddit forums. The initial link provided was from Steam, and this particular fix addresses the Access Violation issue. The Steam connection stands out since it's a curated list from the developers themselves.
This solution targets Access Violation problems:
"Certain third-party antivirus programs, ransomware/malware monitoring applications, streaming tools, and other system or performance utilities can trigger Access Violation crashes. It may help to disable these one at a time to identify which ones are responsible for the error."
