Summary​

frequent CTDs in single- and multiplayer, after some ingame time or at the start of a new game

Description​

I experience frequent Crashes to Desktop in Single and in Multiplayer. Sometimes it is after minutes and sometimes after an hour. It gets worse as the savegame progresses but might also be on the start of a new game (about 50% of new games crash). Game speed lower than speed 5 doesn't seem to influence the frequency. Game speed 5 makes it worse.

I have tried the registry fix described in https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/24h2-w11-update-issue-found-no-more-crashes.1728373/, capped the framerate to 60 Hz, changed the renderer to vulkan, disabled the efficiency cores in the bios and changed the affinity of the cores according to https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...s-the-problem-with-computer-freezing.1774335/. All with no avail.
The DxDiag is attached.
Thank you for your help!

Indeed -

You may have the CPU/bios hardware issue discussed here:

If you haven't updated your bios recently (say, the last month) please check for an updated bios. Then please implement the “Intel Default” option in it, if present.

Good luck!

I updated my BIOS before but that was more like a half a year ago and a more recent update seemed to fix it. It is much much more stable now. Thank you so much for your help.
