Validate Saves

Ideas that are too old (too many things have changed since) and ones which won't be implemented for certain reasons or if there are obviously better suggestions.

You may find eventually no errors with your memory. Cosmic rays are able to and do change RAM contents. It occurs rarely, but chances are.

It's a well-documented fact that RAM in modern computers is susceptible to occasional random bit flips due to various sources of noise, most commonly high-energy cosmic rays. By some estimates, you can even expect error rates as high as one error per 4GB of RAM per day!
I would say the rate is not so high, but it rises with each GB of RAM, and it’s of course 4 times higher with 64 GB than with 16. ;)

Well, yes, neutrinos and other shnyaga))
In my case, everything is probably more prosaic, summer and high temperature (now it is early morning and +40 outside the window, in the afternoon and +50 happens)
In general, the first run of the test is a little disappointing - 8 random errors in 6 hours of testing (48 GB)
But I am a noble overclocker and thrifty :))))))))
I removed two memory sticks, put two other memory sticks, the result is obvious - in 8 hours of the test, not a single error! (even a neutrino flew past apparently :)
Apparently, all the same, the temperature and heating took place.
If you are interested in details and screenshots, I can provide :) I have not started the game itself yet :)
