I9 13900 / 14900 Potential Shaders Crash Solution

[YT Seanpai]

This has been plaguing me for the last hour so I want to help others with this fix!!

Turns out your computer CPU is too strong to run this and the cores get all jumbled up upon trying to render all the shaders. To fix this, you'll actually need to turn down your cores in the bios.

This may differ for most, but I have an Asus. Please find whichever is most similar. So when restarting I just kept tapping the 'del' button too access the bios

Then when In the bios, Press F7 or find 'Advanced Mode' in the top corner

Then I go to settings or OC, and find the 'P-Core Turbo Ratio Offset Value' and switch it from Auto -> Manual and/or find a way to bring it down by -1 or -2 to be safe. This basically brings down your cores from 57/58x Ratio to 55x ratio which worked for me.

This basically just makes your CPU a bit less strong but works. I think maybe is okay to put it back since this is just for engaging initial shaders. I hope I helped.

PS sorry English is my second language but I want to be helpful if I can

Feel free to add and message me if confused

thanks but not worth the effort to turn down my oc just to play this game i have other games to play

Thanks for finding this workaround, but I'm not doing this lol.

It is an intel issue they even finally admitted it after a year of me trying to tell people since Remnant 2.

You can do a bios update or use the XTU software to basically do the same thing and bump down the cpu multiplier down 2X or until it gets stable.

As people already said, its an acknowledged Intel issue. They are already rolling out BIOS updates because of this problem. If you have this issue, you can also get this in other games, so this isnt a workaround but a fix.

updates your bios also

Another solution is just to lower the long and short duration power limit of your CPU. That has worked for me when I got the out of memory error

[YT Seanpai]

Update: I tried resetting my bios back to [Auto] but then the game wouldn't load the shaders again. Settled on being able to run it at -1 instead of -2 so I'm sitting at around 56x which seems to work. As others said, it does seem to be an Intel issue that they've acknowledged

turning off rtx in the options menu at the main menu before you load your character solved the issue for me, just turn it back on in game if you need.

My specs:

i9 13900k (XMP I enabled), RTX 4090, 64GB DDR5 Ram @ 6400Mhz Freq, Windows 11, 1300W Platinum PSU, Latest Bios and drivers. Latest Windows updates (not the current preview). Using Windows security. No crashes and I can play the game to a decent standard.

However. I am getting the occasional hitching and freeze up. Where the game will hang for a second or 2 and then recover. It could definitely use another pass for optimisation.

Also the visuals are great, but they don't seem very clear. Like there is some kind of blur or such impacting the visual clarity. I turned off motion blur but I still get this sense.

Ray tracing is off and I have the FPS capped to 60 FPS.

Download this app and change the first number to 53 and try ( for me its was 55) i changed it to 53 and now i am playing the game without issues (only the first number dont NOT play with the other things)

I have an i9-13900k, I just now updated my BIOS to the most recent non-beta version (7D89v1B) for my MSI Z790 CARBON WIFI motherboard.

Still crashing at shader compile. I'm not underclocking my CPU to play this game. It's unoptimized for modern curent gen hardware.

This is on the devs, not the players PC's.

Or.... You could update your bios so your cpu isn't forcing a million bolts into your cpu.

Yup I did the same thing set at 53 all is fine now.

I have an Asus Hero Z790 and no crashing with their latest Bios. Sounds like MSI is not on the ball.

Easy. You must update your motherboard UEFI/BIOS and apply Intel Default Settings for your CPU SKU. So, blame the motherboard vendors or Intel for allowing this situation and uninformed users for using out-of-specs CPU power settings as "optimized" (basically OCed) default settings for over a decade, NOT the game devs.
