If you can mange to launch it, set the game affinity to your P-cores. The moment you set it to E-cores it crashes.

I tried changing the affinity and it stutters instead of crashing

[Sayaka Miki]

Yes! Exactly my issue. I could stop the crashing by keeping affinity to the other 8 cores, but it stutters like mad.

I refunded.

[Kysen]

well that sucks as i'm 7 hours in and was really enjoying the game.

Just try to disable the E cores in the BIOS so the OS only sees the P cores when you want to play this game or games with similar issues. It may not work but just a suggestion.

intel suggest a bios change to mobo partners that does just that when you press the scroll lock key. It didn't work, game crashes on startup.

I have done both, and it still causes stuttering.

Glad I finally found this thread, I thought I was crazy. Upgraded to i5-12600k and now I get really bad stuttering no matter what.
