Does GTA VI require a BIOS update for ASUS B760M-PLUS?
The second I hit the start button, the game crashes with a memory access violation error, which is a miserable way to start a game I've waited years for. The old BIOS on the ASUS TUF B760M-PLUS had a 100 - 200ms response timeout when handling Ring 0 calls from the new anti-cheat drivers, causing the system to kill the process. I tried running it in compatibility mode, but that just led to a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) and a full reboot—a failed attempt at being cautious. I eventually flashed the BIOS to the latest version and forced TPM 2.0 in the Secure Boot settings. After several reboots, the boot time dropped from 45 seconds to 20 seconds, and the crashes stopped. I did lose my overclock profiles during the flash, so I had to re-import them from a backup. VRM temps are stable at 55 - 62℃. Event Viewer confirms the 0x0000005 error is gone.
