Crash on Startup

Hey, there

This is something that the team is actually aware of. We have a post on this here: [INFO] Crashing using certain NVIDIA GPUs or Intel Processors

In the meantime, here are the steps that typically would help resolve this type of error. You did mention the BIOS, I see.

• Apply BIOS Updates: Update your motherboard's BIOS to the latest version. Motherboard manufacturers have released critical microcode updates specifically to fix voltage stability issues on 13th and 14th-generation Intel CPUs.
• Enable Intel Default Settings: When updating your BIOS, ensure your CPU power profile is set to "Intel Default Settings" (or "Intel Baseline") rather than the motherboard's default unlocked settings.
• Temporary XTU Downclock: If you want a quick test before updating your BIOS, download the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility (XTU) and lower your Performance Core (P-Core) Ratio by 1x or 2x (for example, from 54x down to 53x or 52x). This slightly reduces the peak boost clock and stops the transient power spikes that trigger the decompression crash.
• Verify Game Files: After updating your BIOS or adjusting your core clock, make sure to verify the integrity of your game files on Steam or the EA app to remove any corrupted shader files from previous crashes.

If these do not help, we would need you to attach a DxDiag

Thanks
