I owe you guys an apology, yes it was a 2nd Intel processor failure! Keep in mind I didn't overclock either processor, and the only bios changes I made for both was to set the chassis fans to turbo and turn on XMP to support my MB certified XMP memory.

Freaking Intel I am disgusted with them, this last processor was running with the supposed latest bios and micro code fix's and still went bad! The game has been running for about 20 minutes now with the new i9 13900K I just installed, before that it would crash in less than 2 minutes every time! It's running on my gaming pc as we speak and looks good.

The only thing that kept me from replacing it earlier was I was honest in running 2 CPU, 2 GPU and 2 Memory stress tests, also except for my SSD software glitch I only saw today 3 other games, Remnant 2, Hunt Showdown, and Civ 6 ran perfectly and never crashed. Last time the processor failed I had more problems than a single game and the stress tests failed not seeing any of that now I was hesitant to believe the replacement processor went bad again.

No need for an apology. We're just glad that you've managed to identify the source of the problem and are hopefully able to enjoy the game again finally. :)

Like other games X4 does not seem to like XMP activated, as well.

Since I disabled XMP (7200MHZ OC, default is 5600MHZ, used to be 4800MHZ) I had not a single game crash with X4 or other games.
My processor is a 13700K from 2022 with latest BIOS.

Before that X4 could run 8 hours without any issue. But on another day, X4 would crash more or less every 20 min.
Maybe the latest BIOS (GIGAbyte Z790) is not optimized for XMP.
