[2.0.15] Crash when previewing world map

[maximized]

When clicking the "preview" button in the map generator with the Space Age DLC my Factorio crashes within 0-2 seconds.
The game generates the map preview fine but crashes out before I can do anything with it. This happens every single time no matter what settings I use.
I can start the world and play the game fine as long as I don't preview the map.

How this happens on my computer:
1. Click "New game" on Singleplayer
2. Choose "Freeplay (Space Age)"
3. Preview the map

Thanks for the report. I highly suspect your CPU is failing given I can do this action over and over for a half hour and experience no crashes.

Have you updated BIOS to fix 13th gen Intel CPU instability issues? https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-confi ... re-updates

Hi, sorry for the late reply. I already thought this might have been my CPU failing since the I9 13000K does have that problem, however I haven't encountered any stability issues on any other game as of yet. I will update my BIOS and then reply with the results!

Hi. After updating my BIOS and getting the new microcode this issue is seemingly no longer present.
Thanks for your time!
