Current official status

Above-average crashes are reported on some 13th/14th Gen Intel systems. Official guidance recommends the latest system BIOS. Match the listed platform and symptom before treating this as your own diagnosis.

Official workaround

Follow the computer or motherboard vendor BIOS update instructions. Intel recommends Intel Default Settings and BIOS microcode 0x 12 F or later for affected desktop processors.

Scope and remaining uncertainty

The official hardware article concerns some 13th/14th Gen desktop processors. A BIOS or game update does not establish a repair of an already affected processor. Version scope: all versions. Steam Stable 40420 is documented on October 8, 2026. The PC notes do not confirm that Epic/GOG or consoles received the same patch. Their latest numbered official entries and the announced rollout are displayed separately. Check the installed build in the main menu; a manual or support source check is not an independent live-build test.

Record and report

Before reporting, record the store/platform, installed build, operating system, hardware, mod versions, affected save and exact reproduction steps. Keep the relevant stdout.txt and crash files before another launch overwrites them. Use a copy of a save for diagnosis and the official support form for unresolved failures; no successful reproduction or guaranteed remedy is claimed here.
