Factorio Forums

I just got the game and have been playing it, been having fun but for some reason the game randomly "Crashes" every so often, and I'm really not sure what's causing it. I say "Crashes" in quotes because it doesn't give me an error message and doesn't really seem like it's showing as a crash in the logs, it just closes out and I have to open the game back up and go back to my save. I'll include the logs in this post, if anyone could help me out I'd appreciate it!!

Uh oh, you have a 14900k. You should look up ways to test if you have the manufacturing defect and need to RMA.

If I had a manufacturing defect would I notice it playing other games? I've kept my bios up to date since I heard about the issues with the 14900k after I got it, and I haven't had any issues doing any other games or processes on my pc

Hard to tell. Factorio usually suffers from hardware glitches sooner than other games since it has so many built-in consistency checks and uses so much RAM (it's basically MEMTEST all by itself). If it is CPU degradation, then when it gets bad enough you might start to see other games crash or Windows bluescreens more often.

Okay so update to this, I ran a bunch of CPU tests and checks, and everything looks okay, my scores are fine, I have no crashes or issues with the benchmarks or tests or games. So I feel as though it's safe to rule out my cpu having a defect, really not sure what else the issue could be
