We would like to inform you about an occasional issue that not only affects our game “Inspector Schmidt - A Bavarian Tale”, but has also been reported in other games based on Unreal Engine. The problem probably occurs in connection with a certain CPU, especially with Intel Core i9-13900K and i7-13700K. You can read more about this in [url=https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/is-your-intel-core-i9-13900k-crashing-in-games-your-motherboard-bios-settings-may-be-to-blame-other-high-end-intel-cpus-also-affected]this article[/url], for example. If your game crashes and you receive the following error message, this could be due to the CPU issue described: Error Message: LowLevelFatalError [...] Could not decompress shader group with Oodle. According to forum posts here on Steam and Unreal Engine, other users have been able to work around the issue by running their games in Win8 compatibility mode and inserting -d3d12 into the command prompt line.
