How is the title misleading?
It links directly to intel and tells you that you can use the scroll lock to stop the crashes.
If the title said "Enable scroll lock to disable e-cores" that doesn't tell you why you would need to do that.
- judge2020 5y agoIt's misleading in that, if you had an Alder Lake CPU right now, enabling scroll lock wouldn't do anything since no/very few MOBO vendors have shipped this BIOS update. Plus, it doesn't "fix" the crash, it's a workaround that hurts your CPU performance for that game (since, now, new background tasks will be scheduled on your p-cores). It's usually best not to editorialize titles anyways, and the title would still reference DRM systems if it were "Why Can Digital Rights Management (DRM) Crash Some Games on 12th Gen Intel Core Processors?"
- fsckboy 5y agothat's not what it says. it says that while you wait for the software patch to filter through ordinary distribution channels, you can enable a feature that's already in your BIOS which (after you reboot) will allow you to use the scroll lock key.

- EugeneOZ 5y agoScroll Lock is just a special toggle for the Legacy Game Compatibility Mode - you need to turn it on in BIOS. Then you can control E-cores using Scroll Lock.
- gouggoug 5y agoThe editorialized title is purposely vague, making it sound like this is an unexpected bug, when it is, in fact, not a bug at all. That's clickbait. A more honest title would be "Fix DRM crashes on Intel 12th: Enable 'Legacy Game Compatibility Mode' and turn Scroll Lock on" edit: the title at the time of writing this comment was "Enabling scroll lock at boot fixes crashes caused by DRM on Intel 12th gen CPUs "
