Game developer issues warning about Intel's fastest gaming chips - downclock Core i9 flagships to avoid crashes in Outpost Infinity Seige.

Outpost: Infinity Siege.

Recently released title Outpost: Infinity Siege just got its second patch in a matter of days rectifying certain crashes during cutscenes. However, the developerss revealed in the patch notes that there are still high-priority issues causing severe crashes and screen blackouts in-game. The issues are bad enough that the developers at Team Ranger are recommending users downclock their Core i9 Raptor Lake or Raptor Lake Refresh CPUs to 5 GHz as a temporary measure.

The recommended mitigations don't stop there. On top of the clock speed workaround, the developers recommend gamers switch power settings to energy-saving mode on appropriate hardware. The Outpost: Infinity Siege team also recommends verifying file integrity in Steam and updating graphics drivers, but these are not unusual recommendations for rectifying game instability.
