Summary: Game Crashes when Clicking Esc->Save. Fresh install, just bought the game.
How to Reproduce: Create a new character. Skip or do the tutorial, doesn't matter, tried both. Go to any village, recruit some villages, buy grain. Press Esc. Click Save. Crash. It usually does not crash if I esc->save just after skipping the tutorial without hiring any villagers or going to any town.
Have you used cheats and if so which: Zero
Scene Name (if related): Campaign Map
Media (Screenshots & Video):

Crash happens at 1:10.
Forgot to add sound when recording (it was working). And this time I could recruit some villagers and move to a couple maps before crashing. But the crash trigger is ALWAYS saving the game.
Computer Specs:
OS: Windows 11 Latest Stable, Activated, legit copy
GPU: RX 590 (temps at 69c at most, not OCd)
GPU Driver Version: Latest Stable Driver (24.3.1)
CPU: 14700k no overclock, no undervolt
RAM: GSKILL 64GB @ 4800MHZ (no xmp, no overclock)
Motherboard: Z790 MAXSUN iCraft with high LLC (as stable as possible, I use this computer to make/compile games, it's VERY stable)
Storage Device (HDD/SSD): 990 EVO 2tb new

Highest temp I get is usually 65c when gaming, very cold/stable system. I have absolutely zero crashes in any other games - I got 3k+ games on steam. This is the only game that this happens.
Temperatures/power/etc (stone cold):

It's pretty simple. First time I'm playing the game. Fresh install, no mods, no hacks, legit copy, bought on steam. System is stable (I can run stress tests or any benchmarks). Temperatures are good. I do heavy coding, compiling (2h+ frying my cpu on jenkins CI/CD builds), everything, zero crashes, no BSODs. Highest CPU temps are 80c. Not overclocked, not undervolted. I'm not even running XMP. Cooling is good.

What happens: Done the tutorial, when I press esc and try to save, the game gives me a popup that it crashed and tells me to submit a dump.
Tried a new save, same stuff. Sometimes I can play like 1-2 maps, save, but then when I press esc->Save again it crashes in the exact same way.


Any clue of what this might be? Game is unplayable sadly. Sometimes I can recruit villagers, buy some grain, enter some screens and then it crashes. The trigger is always esc -> save.

Could you crash and send a new dump again please?
Hi, sure!

How to reproduce this one: Created new character, went to the first village, hired some villages, took a walk around the street, left. Esc -> Save NO CRASH. Esc -> Save again CRASH.
 
>>>>>>>>>>SOLVED<<<<<<<<

This was related to 14700k intel processor series. I upgrade the bios to the latest version (it became available yesterday) with microcode 0x125 stability fix and had ZERO CRASHES ever since.

If it helps you guys in some way: saving for some reason caused HUGE voltage/current spikes on the 14700k and caused the crashes.
