If a game has the same lines of code across all players, then why do some bugs only affect certain players?

I was playing a game earlier when a friend was experiencing a bug. Wouldn’t it make sense for me to be experiencing the same bug since were playing the same game that’s coded with the same lines of code?

It might be the same code but the variables might be different. You and your friend wouldn’t have done exactly the same thing so variables will be slightly different and therefore your friend experiences a bug while you don’t.

There are also cosmic rays that can flip bits in a computer. While very very rare they do happen.
