Raptor Lake Instability Causing Issues for Developers and Players
Alderon Games, developer of the popular dinosaur survival game Path of Titans, has issued a statement regarding critical stability issues affecting users with Intel’s Raptor Lake CPUs (13th & 14th gen).
The statement, authored by Matthew Cassells, Founder of Alderon Games, details concerning crashes, instability, and memory corruption exclusive to these specific Intel CPUs. These issues have plagued the game’s development team, official servers, and end-users, leading to a near 100% failure rate in their internal testing.
Alarmingly, the problems extend beyond Path of Titans, with reports of failed decompression and memory tests in unrelated benchmarking tools. The statement suggests these CPUs may deteriorate over time, causing progressive failure.
Key points from the statement:
- Thousands of crash reports linked to Raptor Lake CPUs.
- Official game servers experiencing constant crashes.
- Development team encountering instability and potential data corruption.
- Game server providers facing similar crashing issues.
- Decompression and memory tests failing independently of the game.
- Potential for CPU degradation over time.
- Misleading error messages regarding video driver memory.
Actions Taken by Alderon Games:
- Migrating all servers to AMD processors due to significantly lower crash rates.
- Advising server providers and hosts to avoid Raptor Lake CPUs.
- Implementing in-game notifications to inform affected users.
The statement expresses hope for a potential recall by Intel and urges users to be aware of the issue’s origin. It clarifies that the focus is on resolving the crashing problem, not promoting AMD products.
This news adds to growing concerns about potential defects within Intel’s latest CPU generation.
