I've just had first experience of a game crash. Exactly as described, the game run out of memory, despite having really really low requirements.

Stormgate. Built on Unreal Engine, and run on my 12100F(!), which theoretically should be unaffected by the instability issue.
12100F!! they are not even pushed that hard either it is a genuine crash or something is very wrong with your CPU

Maybe the game doesn't properly clean up after itself and has a memory leak.
Nope.

I am "happy" to report that I've just restarted my computer, to clean the memory, run Steam, tried to run the game on basic AI Bot in custom game, once again and... it crashed. Again, just like previous time.

Edit: I am also "happy" to report that crash happens on any setting. Low, medium, ultra, etc. And it happens when LOADING the game.

Check the BIOS or Just RMA if I3 are failing it is beyond my Scope except for MB shenanigans did you update your BIOS recently or anything?

System specs?

Update. The crash happens on ONE map, so far. Tried two other maps - and it works. Will test further.

Stormgate has been rather notorious with issues since its beta and now early access. Free to play at least, the basic part of it. I'd check the steam forums if it is just one map causing issues.

Maybe a stupid question, but why no report of AMD crashing on any map and under no circumstances ???

I have been following the Stormgate drama for the past few months. It's very much an incomplete game in early Alpha with half finished features being added as soon as possible. I wouldn't 100 percent blame the cpu if it's the only game you are crashing with.

I think Stromgate may warrant a new thread. While it is also "Intel processors crashing (... a) games" this seems completely unrelated to the 13th and 14th degradation issue this thread is about. (Also it would be nice to clear up if it really only affects Intel chips.)

Well since this is 7600k I think we can exclude the CPU degradation and blame everything on the game, and how it is coded.

BTW, the game is brilliant. Gives me old school Warhammer 40k Dawn of War vibes.

Stormgate is the only Unreal Engine game that I play. Hence why my experience.

EDIT: I'll test Stormgate. I have an Olde Core i5 9300H and a Ryzen 4600H to test it

But the game runs like butter.

120 FPS with RX 6500 XT and 12100F and medium preset is sustainable with ease for me.

It is kinda weird for the majority to recommend a CPU that isn't technically out yet. Expectations must be very high

That's at least 8000 X3D CPUs that's gonna fly off the shelves!
Voting in a poll does not equal skin in the game. It does express a consensus in the gaming community though. That being; any CPU without 3D in the name is considered second rate for gaming. Vanilla Zen has 1% and 2% in that poll too. It's that respondents would recommend arrow 6-1 over raptor despite raptor having better bang for buck for gaming, which demonstrates it's leperous condition.
