I recently installed dow2 and elite on my pc and whenever I try to start either the game crashes with the error message DOW2.exe caused an Access Violation in module Shark.dll
I did not see anything in the FAQs or on the forum, but is there a fix for this issue?

- You will get an answer faster by asking at the technical-discussion section of the main Elite Discord. https://discord.gg/jKVfpj3
- Also, found this in a quick search. Not sure it will help though. https://www.registry-programs.com/proce ... k.dll.html

Never had that error. Some things to check:
- DISM. Type 'CMD' into search and open as an admin. Type in 'Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth'
- Verify system files. Go to command prompt under admin and type in 'sfc /scannow' and press enter
- Verify Steam files. Library - Right click DoW 2 - Properties - Local Files - View integrity of game files

I followed all those steps to no success and then I started shutting down programs.
Eventually I got to shutting down voicemeter, and the crashes stopped, so there is some shared resource there that the game does not play nicely about. The crashes stopped and I was able to get a few AI games in.
