[FIX] Intel 13900 & 14900 Crashes

[CI Games]

Greetings Lampbearers,

We have been investigating reports of crashes in-game for users who own either the Intel 13900 or the 14900, and after working with our partners at Unreal we have been made aware of an issue with some titles that use UE5, relating to CPU and motherboard clock configuration. If you are experiencing issues and you either have an Intel 13900 or 14900 processor, please read this article.[www.quodsoler.com]As always when working with/ changing PC settings, please proceed with caution.

"Info on the Crashes
These crashes seem to happen due to a faulty CPU and Motherboard clock configuration, you can find more info in this post that the Oodle team put up here.[www.radgametools.com]

You should be able to fix it in multiple ways via settings in your BIOS, but instead what we are going to do is use the official Intel XTU application to fix these crashes.

Fixing the Crashes
1. Download and Install Intel XTU
You are going to download the official Intel Extreme Tuning Utility (XTU)[www.intel.com]

You can download it here[www.intel.com]

Once it has finished downloading run the installer and proceed with the installation steps. (If it asks for Admin Privileges say Yes)

Once the setup finishes, the application will ask you to restart your PC, please click on the Restart button or restart the PC manually.

2. Configure the P-Core Settings
Ok, now you are ready to start using the intel XTU application to fix your crashes.

You can open the Intel XTU application by double-clicking the shortcut on your Desktop or by searching it in the Windows search bar.

Once the software opens, you need to change the following option: Performance Core Ratio and set it to 52x, and hit the Apply button.

To confirm that the setting has been correctly setup, click on the Advanced View button on the bottom left and confirm that the Performance Per-Core Tuning is set all to 52x

If it's not please set all of them to 52x and hit the Apply button again.

(You can return to Compact View anytime by pressing the bottom left Compact View button)

3. Try to play your game
After applying the settings you can no open your game again, it's possible that the game may crash one more time, if that happens reopen it.

If everything went well the game should no longer crash and you should be able to play it without problems.

(When restarting or opening up again your PC you may need to open Intel XTU again and apply the presets once again before playing affected games)"
