[2.0.73] Desync on a long time save

[MeteoroXL]

Description:
I've been playing with two other players on the same save for a couple of months without any trouble. However, during our last playtime, I experienced a problem where I couldn't stay connected to the party because I got desynced as soon as the map loaded, or a couple of minutes after it loaded on my computer.

Apparently, it happens randomly or when I move.

Do you have the latest bios installed?

I don't

Your CPU belongs to the Raptor Lake family, which has known issues that can lead to permanent hardware degradation under certain conditions. If you're experiencing frequent crashes, especially during gaming or high-load scenarios, your CPU may already be damaged. This is not an isolated case, it's a widely reported and acknowledged problem.

If your CPU is still under warranty, initiate an RMA process with Intel or your hardware vendor. Report the issue as repeated instability and crashing during games or other intensive workloads. Do not delay, as continued use might worsen the condition.

If an RMA isn't possible, the next step is to update your motherboard BIOS to the latest version, as several vendors have released firmware patches intended to mitigate this issue. While this won't fix already-present damage, it may help reduce instability going forward.

Other than that, there is nothing else you can do, permanent hardware damage cannot be fixed by the game or other software.

I am not interested in investigating this desync report given that client's save file shows signs of corruption (some tags for map positions being saved without a leading digit). Those are signs of unstable machine or dying cpu.
