Crashing fix for me

[Mori_pwn]

I am just posting this since it may help anyone else having crashing issues. I have a 4090 with i9-13900K 64gb RAM. Monitor is 2k 240hz G-Sync. I have had no issues with other games but I was constantly crashing with this game with that memory dump message. I emailed Enshrouded customer support and put in a bug report.

What I have ended up doing was going into NVIDIA settings and setting the games max frame rate at 60. I turned off G-Sync and set it to fixed ratio and turned on v-sync. I had to reduce my in-game settings to quality. So far I have had no crashing.

This morning I tried putting settings back to max quality and immediately crashed. I even tried to set max frame at 120 but again crashed. I guess on my rig for the time the sweet spot is in-game quality settings at 60 fps.

I hope this helps anyone struggling with crashes.

Side note: My son has this game on a 1070 ti with 16gb RAM and has never crashed. He is on balanced settings. I guess it doesn't like my 4090? lol

Had the same issue with this game and others. Did this easy fix and Havent crashed in a game since. Hope it works for you.

13900KS
Rog Strix 4090
Asus z790 maximus
G. Skill 64G DDR5

I'm assuming everyone with this problem has similar specs so I listed my specifics so others who come across this thread can fix theirs.

Forgot to mention...I don't have to down clock anything and can play everything on max setting with no issues.

This is my exact motherboard! Z790 Hero. I am going to give this a try and I will let you know.

My PC would not boot after those changes. Sucks. Thank though was worth a shot.

I'm very late to this thread, but for anyone else who finds it (or is still paying attention):

Intel discovered an issue with their 13th/14th-gen CPUs (like the i9-14900K, which I also have) where unsafe default BIOS settings combined with a bug in the CPU microcode itself, could cause elevated operating voltages in the CPU and impact stability: https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/1eg8wl0/intel_core_13th14th_gen_issue_megathread/

The good news is, it seems like if you fix the issue in BIOS (either by changing the settings, or by updating the BIOS) early enough in the CPU's lifespan, it'll solve the issue.

The bad news is... from what I've found, if the issue goes on for too long, then the elevated voltage will physically degrade your CPU and the issue will become permanent.

I suspect that second one is where I'm at. The Reddit thread I linked says to contact Intel customer support - I assume they're going to send me a replacement CPU. Hopefully that solves the issue.

I have the same issue and almost same specs and even same son situation :D

I found another fix. I have an ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Hero motherboard and I did not know this but it is set as default to overclocked or extreme or whatever. I went into BIOS and set it everything to normal and now all games never crash. Enshrouded runs at 120fps everything on ultra. Frame rate drops though when I go to the map, which is weird. I did a temperature check before, and didn't see anything too high, however when I went back and looked at each core temp, there were a select few running insanely high. I bought a new tower with better air flow and more fans, with a temp gauge display on it to monitor and noticed it was running very hot and now it runs super cool after changing BIOS settings. Not sure if that helps with the motherboard, but that solved everything for me. No more headaches lol.
