Alderon Video games, the maker of dinosaur MMO Path of Titans, says it is swapping out its Intel Thirteenth and 14th Gen-based servers for AMD and urges others internet hosting the sport’s servers to do the identical. The developer has had “vital” instability points that not one of the fixes to this point have reversed, wrote Alderon founder Matthew Cassells in a weblog submit final week.
Cassells wrote that Alderon has recorded “1000’s of crashes” on avid gamers’ CPUs utilizing its crash reporting instruments and says the processors also can corrupt SSDs and reminiscence. He added that in his group’s expertise, one hundred pc of the affected CPUs “deteriorate over time, finally failing.” Quite the opposite, Unreal Engine decompression software maker RAD Recreation Instruments, which Cassells cites within the weblog, says that “solely a small fraction” of the processors are affected.
Earlier within the week, a Warframe developer wrote on the sport’s boards that “nearly all” of the crashes it recorded got here from driver failures in Thirteenth- and 14th-Gen Intel processors. He did be aware that failures seen on a employees member’s gaming rig stopped after he put in a current BIOS replace, regardless that Intel stated in June that the issue it addresses isn’t the foundation reason for instability.
