1. Update your graphics driver

  • Update your NVIDIA or AMD driver to the latest version.

2. Update your BIOS

  • In your BIOS, turn off all GPU and CPU overclocking features (especially MultiCore Enhancement) and revert to the default Turbo Boost settings to improve stability.

5. Check Save Files

  • Issues may occur due to corrupted data in existing save files or damaged game configuration files.
    Try starting a new game to see if the error persists, or reset your game configuration files and try again.
