[1.20][BUG] Crash with illegal execution of data

from Elemental Forums

What is Data Execution Prevention?

Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a security feature that can help prevent damage to your computer from viruses and other security threats. Harmful programs can try to attack Windows by attempting to run (also known as execute) code from system memory locations reserved for Windows and other authorized programs. These types of attacks can harm your programs and files.

DEP can help protect your computer by monitoring your programs to make sure that they use system memory safely. If DEP notices a program on your computer using memory incorrectly, it closes the program and notifies you.

Please provide your debug.err file and any crash dump that was generated in the game's folder under C:\ProgramData. We cannot investigate this sort of problem with no system information.

I tried to provide a file once before but could not get it uploaded to a data site.

What really works?

I have used their support site here https://esupport.stardock.com/ to submit crash reports.  You can attach the appropriate debug and dump files just like an email without any hassle at all.  You will have to register, but that's easy and one time.
