Complaints about crashing 13th,14th Gen Intel CPUs now have data to back them up
Complaints arise over crashing issues on 13th and 14th Gen Intel CPUs, prompting MMO developer Alderon Games to switch servers to AMD due to persistent instability. Reports vary on the extent of affected processors.

Complaints have surfaced regarding crashing issues with 13th and 14th Gen Intel CPUs, with MMO developer Alderon Games reporting a nearly 100 percent failure rate for certain Intel processors. The developer, known for the dinosaur MMO Path of Titans, is switching its servers from Intel to AMD due to significant instability issues that have persisted despite attempted fixes. Alderon has documented thousands of crashes on gamers' CPUs, noting potential corruption of SSDs and memory, with affected CPUs deteriorating over time. While Alderon claims a high failure rate, Unreal Engine decompression tool maker RAD Game Tools suggests only a small fraction of processors are impacted. The saga began with Intel investigating game crashes on home computers using these chips, initially attributing the issue to improper motherboard overclocking settings. However, reports of crashes on server hardware challenge this explanation. A Warframe developer also highlighted driver failures in 13th and 14th Gen Intel processors, with some stability improvements noted after a BIOS update, despite Intel indicating the update does not address the root cause of instability.

7 commentsIt seems like the issues can be mitigated in most cases at the BIOS level, but it's hard to get that memo out to everyone, even if they are comfortable making those adjustments.

Oddly, the last thing seems to have fixed it which was under-clocking the CPU slightly. I’ve been gaming for about two weeks now, lots of different games, different game engines (unity/unreal/etc) and no issues as of yet.
