Randomly Restarting PC
When starting up the game it will randomly shut off either right away or after a few minutes of gameplay for no obvious reason and is one of the only games ive had this issue with other than CoD MW2&3

If you're on Intel 13th/14th gen CPU update to the latest BIOS. If you're running AMD make sure it's not OC'd.

make sure you're not on a pre-built AMD machine that is "factory overclocked" or have overclocked it yourself. It has been causing issues.

I tried turning all overclocking off and it lasted a little longer but it still restarted after a few minutes of running through the tutorial, specifically right after i unlock all abilities with the starter character

my brother has a prebuilt amd overclocked and he just put it to 30 fps and low settings and got through it
so did you guys look at your temps or anything before it shuts down? Need more data
Next time u launch it pay attention to your task manager and see whats happening

You need to update your Motherboard BIOS if you want to play the game!

I'm running a 13th gen 13900k and have the same issue. play for a little and then my pc suddenly restarts. Is there a definite fix for this?

I have a Corsair HX1000i with a Aorus 2080ti and i9 13900k. While you mentioned it, I did see the red blinker turn on (on my psu) and then return to orange as my pc was starting up again. But, the thing that doesn't make sense is I haven't seen any game that would put so much load as to make my PC restart like this.
