Fixing crash on CPUs with more than four physical cores (GOG.com)
- The game crashes on CPUs with more than four physical cores, such as AMD Ryzen 7 1700X and others. (with an i7 8750H (mobile Coffe-Lake 6/12 core) it runs with no problem. So maybe more than six physical cores causes the problem.)
Apply the fix with patcher[4] |
---|
Use Saboteur CPU Fix to patch the game binary, or use the pre-patched file. |
Apply the fix manually[4] |
