12th Generation processors are built on a new hybrid core architecture of big and small cores working together. However, it turns out that some DRM software has issues with this hybrid

“Certain third-party gaming Digital Rights Management (DRM) software may incorrectly recognize 12th Generation Intel® Core™ Processors efficient-cores (E-cores) as another system. This prevents games implementing that DRM software from running successfully. Games may crash during launch or gameplay, or unexpectedly shut down.”

However, there is already a workaround for this issue with Denuvo DRM. Give it a try if you find you have one of the affected games:

• Power-up system and enter system BIOS setup.
• Enable switch Legacy Game Compatibility Mode to ON (one-time only) in BIOS.
• Save BIOS setup changes and exit.
• Boot to OS.
• Toggle Keyboard Scroll Lock key ON.
• Launch affected game title.
• Toggle Keyboard Scroll Lock key OFF after ending game title.
