application exception
0xC0000420 ASSERTION_FAILURE
The program hit an internal assert and chose to die rather than continue with bad state. Developer-facing, but for you it still means: update, strip plugins, report with the module name.
What to do about it
- Update to the newest build — asserts are often removed or fixed quickly.
- Disable mods/plugins.
- Include the faulting module when you file a bug report.
Where you will see this
Windows Error Reporting writes this code into Report.wer files and app-crash minidumps when a program dies but Windows itself stays up. It is not a blue-screen stop code — for those see the stop-code library.

Drop the program's .wer report or crash dump into the app-crash reader — the faulting module is usually the real story. Parsed locally.
