Game crashes during startup with shaders

[That Elite Guy]

Hey

I can't get past the initial menus of the game every time I get to the shaders screen the game just crashes

i9 13900k
4090

Getting a message saying my CPU is unstable, other shader compiling games don't give me this issue

Anyone else experiencing this at all?

Sorry boss, you may have the dreaded Intel Raptor Lake degradation, try a motherboard Bios update, and if that doesn't work, try to RMA your CPU.

Your cpu "is" unstable, sorry to say. 13th and 14th gen did people super dirty.

And shader compilations is 1 of the top causes of it.

core i9 11980hk and rtx 3080 16gb no problems with shaders. but with ray tracing enabled stuttering appears and fps drops a lot

Yeah, your CPU most likely has permanent damage. If you didn't update your BIOS during the autumn when Intel's microcode fixes were deployed, it might still be worth trying to update, since the updates may also adjust some power settings depending on your motherboard. If that doesn't solve the problem, you might want to RMA the CPU.

Ok thanks for the replies everyone will look into the update and hope for the best lol

Good luck friend, apparently Intel has gotten way better about the RMA process since they've been getting blown up in the media, hopefully if the BIOS update doesn't do it for you, they can take care of you.

Just restart the game and enjoy, then say "funny mud pee" to all who talking about bullsht like Intel blah blah blah.

I FIXED IT! I was having the same issue on the steam version and gamepass versions. I tried absolutely everything and this is the only thing that helped

Uninstall graphics drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU)

Select "Clean and restart"

Download the latest Graphics driver: AMD or NVIDIA

Install the fresh drivers and restart the PC once more

Enjoy the Nostalgia :D
