BSOD While compiling shaders.

[Furlington Boat Cactory]

Computer blue screen crashes while compiling shaders giving the error code "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON-PAGED_AREA"
Was able to get the game running once after:
>updating my graphics drivers
>Verifying Integrity of game files
>Running Image Servicing and Management Tool
>Scanning for damaged system files

Then the game crashed during the tutorial (right after breaking the wall) and started throwing the same error afterward.

I've also set the game (marvel.exe) to run in compatibility mode for Windows7 to no effect.

Is there a known fix for this, or do I need to just trial & error my way through this?

Run a scan on your ram for errors

Ran memtest86: >150 errors....
....yeah, I think that might be it. Guess I need new ram. ♥♥♥♥.

That’s a Page File/Memory Issue.

Please try increasing the amount of page file memory, or setting a fixed amount that’s equal the amount of RAM you have times two.

For example if you have 16GB of RAM, set 32GB of page file memory (Recommended) I know it’s a lot, but it’s a world of difference. At minimum I’d put 24GB.

This had no effect. In fact, the BSOD is happening faster now. Before, the shaders would compile to about 50% before crashing, now it doesn't make it to 20%.

Needle's swinging back to point at bad RAM being the issue.

Aw, damn, my bad.

Have you tried swapping RAMs in place? Or how about removing one at a time and trying the shader compile process?

I don't know if it's an actual memory problem, but who knows? Windows usually gives an specific error code related to RAM when it happens.

Intel 13 & 14th Gen processors need to be clocked down because their the corpo are bad at coding.

Lowering the clock speed of the CPU and disabling the turbo function massively improved things. The game loaded and I was able to get through the basic tutorial and most (everyone but Mantis) of the initial hero tutorials with no issues (except for some slight texture pop-in when Iron-man's model loaded in the in-tutorial's character select screen.) Got the BSOD again after ~15min of play time with the same error.

I had this issue it was fine before then kept crashing while compiling shaders with the S1 update tried everything online and only way I fixed it was going into my bios disabling XMP running the game and the shaders complied 1st time then restarted pc turned XMP back on and everything is fine hope this helps some people
