"Fatal error in gc: GetThreadContext failed"

Hi, This is the message I get after what seems to be a completely random amount of time playing Thomas Was Alone. The game crashes with the quoted message and a big red "X". Sometimes it happens after just half a minute, sometimes after 5 minutes. I don't know what's causing it. The only programs that are running in the background are Steam and the avast antivirus. My config is this one: //www.asus.com/ROG/G75VW/

specifications [running Win7]

I hope there's a solution to this as I'm quite looking forward to play this game :]

Sometimes i get this error when launching the game. I googled it and saw it was a Unity Engine related error, i have no wonky stuff running on the background and it's a rare occurence, let's say 1/20 times it happens. Any idea ?

Ok thanks but i fixed the issue, if you are using Avast anti-virus and getting the error this is what i did to fix it:

- Open Avast and go to Settings. - Go to Troubleshooting. - Make sure "Enable hardware-assisted virtualization" is unticked. - Restart PC for changes to take effect.

I will change the title to solved incase anyone else has this issue :]

Actually it worked once and i got to play but when i went to play the game again it came with with the error, thought it was fixed but it isn't :[ , any help would be apprciated

Hey Shogoki!

The Dxdiag doesn't contain any confidential information and you can post a link here without worry. It's simply a list of your PC specifications, hardware and drivers that we can use to better diagnose this issue :]

Thanks for submitting the Dxdiag

The other question was whether or not you have any anti-virus software running whilst launching the game?

If so, which anti-virus software? And have you tried launching the game successfully with it closed down?

As i said, i have no anti-virus except the windows firewall. The unity error is a rare occurence, it seems to happens once every 10 or 20 game launches, but when it happens, it's only when i launch the game.

No problem. Quick update, i tried playing minutes ago and now the issue is much more frequent, i have like a 50 % chance of encountering the error when launching the game.

Hey everyone!

Are you all able to update to the Beta branch we launched on Saturday and tell us if you are still experiencing this issue?
