You have a logitech G400,G500s and/or Webcam with driver software installed and the game crashes instantly on startup with Exception Code c0000005.

Resolution
Try disabling the Logitech "monitor service".
To disable it, take the following steps:
- Run msconfig.exe
- Select the Services Tab
- Enable "Hide all Microsoft Services" to make it easier to find the Logitech service
- Find the service "Process Monitor" from "Logitech" and disable it by clearing the checkbox next to it.
