POE2 Crashing constantly - almost uplayable
Hi,
I've had intermittent crashing issues with POE2 off and on since release, but it's been pretty sparse for the most part. They game just shuts off and I'm staring at my desktop, so I just boot it up again. Fairly recently (hard to say whether it was since the last patch, second last, or what) Path of Exile 2 has become almost unplayable. I'm encountering crashes multiple times each time I play. Sometimes I enter full on crash loops where either the game crashes everytime at the opening loading screen, or everytime when I resume the area that crashed (in the loading screen). I did a lot of reading online about POE2 crashes and tried my fare share of fixes with no success (updated video driver - clean instal, updated bios, changed windows settings to limit core usage, avoid windows updates, etc.) Also problematic is that sometimes the crashes aren't just the POE2 game, my whole computer locks up and reboots. The most success if I clear my video cache (that usually gets me out of a crash loop) and then it lets me play for a bit before the next crash. Also another success is if I use DirectX11 instead of 12 , it crashes a bit less often it feels like but the game is definitely choppier when it renders new video content (issue occurs with all three - Vulkan DirectX11 and 12 but DirectX11 mitigates crashes the most). One of my recent crashes on DirectX11 was when I popped a strongbox. It feels like video has always struggled with those ever since they came in. Here are a couple screenshots of windows event viewer from recent crashes, when just the game crashed (not the entire computer). https://ibb.co/23F4gdbN https://ibb.co/Nd2Bzp08 Dernier bump le 10 août 2025 à 22:40:46
