Crash On Startup

[Draekai]

Game crashes right after the small splash screen appears. Any help will be appreciated. My PC Specs:
Processor 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900K 3.00 GHz
Installed RAM 64.0 GB
Graphics Card RTX 4080 Super

The game has a (very) hard time on first boot up when it says it's compiling shaders. On my 3060 Ti it crashed 4 times, one time it went to blue screen. Once I got past that everything went well.

got same problem

Just for the record, I already tried the method in changing the compatibility in the game folder but that did not work either. Restarted, drivers up to date and also verified game files. No dice.

Is your motherboard BIOS up to date with Intel microcode 0x12B fix ?

Which CPU do you have ?

me too.
I tried updating the BIOS and drivers, but it's the same.

My PC Specs:
i7-14700KF
RTX 4070 SUPER

I apologise but how would I be able to check that and update it if it isn't? I'm not too IT savvy.

First you need to identify which motherboard you have, (Example: "Gigabyte Z890 AORUS Master" ) based on that you search for Support page for that unit on its manufacturer's website, search for BIOS/UEFI/Drivers, and follow instructions from there.


Or, if you are not confident with this procedure, bring your PC back to the shop for warranty inspection since this entire Intel debacle should be covered by that.

I also am using the i9-13900K. I'm on latest BIOS of course, and have completed rounds and rounds of performance test and Nvidia driver reinstall to check that I do not have the CPU degradation.

Have you tried underclocking the CPU a bit ?

Since if that works, it's still the CPU that's likely at fault here, and if it can't meet base specs, it is eligible for replacement from Intel.

They announced on discord about working on problem with:
Systems with Intel 13th and 14th Gen CPUs
Systems using NVIDIA RTX 40 series GPUs

No I never tried underclocking, I always use stock Intel Default Settings. What I understand about Intel gen 13 / 14 issue is that if the degradation already happen it's there no matter what you do.

I don't know, you could be right, but I never had issue compiling shaders, running Cinebench, reinstalling Nvidia driver, or burning the CPU with multiple performance test tools.

All I can say is that after several game reboots I could run the game without problem. Good luck to everyone getting the game to work!! (-;

I have similar specifications and the same problem.

Got the same speccs and same error.

Ok I repaired the files and now it seems to be starting
