If you have a valid key but the game still fails to verify, the community and developer suggest a few technical fixes: parasite inside verification key hot
However, recent classified spill-overs from semiconductor fabrication labs indicate a more literal interpretation: that, when the chip becomes "hot" (above 85°C), changes its dielectric properties. This bio-film acts as a variable resistor, causing the verification key comparator circuit to register a false match when a slightly incorrect key is presented.

Standard malware scans found nothing. Firmware was cryptographically signed and verified. But when engineers ran a thermal stress test, they saw the tell-tale "hot spot" exactly at the memory address storing the verification key. Decapsulation and electron microscopy revealed a —artificially deposited—across the metal-oxide layer of the comparator logic. Firmware was cryptographically signed and verified

When security researchers talk about a key being "hot," they are referring to a key that is active, in memory, or currently in use. This is the moment a parasite strikes.
