Yet more PC issues...

Basically, renpy hasn't run smoothly from day 1, but I carelessly put it down to a lacking or outdated driver. In other words, a 'deal-with-it-later' problem.

There's a few other less notable problems but the most relevant is that renpy runs like shit and renpy games (ie. Return Project) are unstable, crashing at launch or otherwise running terrible until inevitably crashing anyway. This makes testing virtually pointless as I have no Idea if the random error logs are legit problems to be fixed, or a result of something else. To elaborate further, crash logs are not consistent, I fix one thing and then a new error is logged on the next crash, even on earlier versions that worked without issue.

So about a week ago I finally made time to try and solve the mystery, but after a multitude of various 'fixes', I'm conceding defeat.

From reading about similar symptoms in various intel threads, there seems to be a common clocking fault with a number of i9-13900# chips, but with no replacement on hand to swap in and test I don't know for sure.

So it's going in for a warranty. There's no eta on how long this'll take but I'll update when I know more.

Frustrated to say the least.
