[PC ONLY] CRASHES SPECIFIC TO INTEL CPUs
We investigated the crash reports from many people who were crashing frequently and found that Intel CPUs sometimes were not executing the instructions properly in one particular function. A common example was an instruction that only reads a register crashed on writing to invalid memory. With the help of many forum users, we found that lowering the clock speed always fixed the crashes, even if the CPU wasn't overclocked or overheating. Thanks everyone, with a big shout out to Falkentyne, TEZZ0FIN0, JorPorCorTTV, and MrDakk!
This has been by far the most commonly reported PC crash over the last month or so and we’ve notified Intel about the issue. In the meantime, we’ve put a workaround in this patch to avoid the crashing at your original clock speeds just by changing the instructions used by that one function.

I'm pretty sure the fix got overwritten during the merge of Season 3 code branch. No idea how such a critical bug can be present in release version and not treated as hotfix.
Good news,
I see that our CPU bug was investigated and changed status to "Client Patch" and "Coming in future patch", so look like devs figured out the reason.
Lets cross our fingers and hope it won't take forever.
