Early Access Bug Reports - crashes 0.4 - FIX/Solution AMD - Forum

EDIT: FOUND SOLUTION, so 25.12 and 25.10 versions which is the latest and recommended AMD drivers are sh.t and causes crashes/freezes. Get the 25.9.2, it is stable. zero crashes with comets/minions etc and PC even running cooler temps. https://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/release-notes/RN-RAD-WIN-25-9-2.html This might be the most unstable version i've played. 20+ crashes. anyhow, one specific crash seems to come up quite often. related to social menu, you open it up, search from a group whatever and click friends. the game freezes and crashes. Same issue on both the latest and previous recommended AMD driver. What is it, memory leak? sadly, this 0.4 is currently quite unplayable for me. Too many crashes and yes i've sent the reports to AMD themselves, not sure if there are any crash logs that POE2 provides somewhere. CPU 9800X3D - X3D boost enabled GPU 7900XTX 24gig RAM DDR5 2 stick, 48 gig 5600mhz (XMP disabled) NVME T705 curical 2tb MB X870E aorus pro ice - bios v. F8d windows 11. everything updated to latest version. CPU temp during gaming reaches a max temp for 68c, GPU temp around 70-80c. don't really experience any other issues except fps drops if i play native with 1203+12390 effects on the screen. But if i play with FSR on fps never goes below 50. EDIT: check the other comments posted for more info Seems to be CPU related from looking online, threads freezing etc. oh yeah gotten deadlock messages in a few crashes. There are videos of people having solutions by forcing cores to update themselves after they get locked, or disabling 1-2 cores.. but i shouldn't have to download a program to do this then enable it again when i play other games. i tied directx11, but you're playing with 15fps. impossible to play Dernière édition par Arcadiez#1589, le 29 déc. 2025 à 05:56:38 Dernier bump le 29 déc. 2025 à 17:42:49	Posté par Arcadiez#1589 le 23 déc. 2025 à 03:27:21 Citer ce post
Same for me, I've got to a point where I can crash 2-3 times per map ... for no actual reason and without any error message, is there something to help tracking those crash ... ?	Posté par Arxok2501#6704 le 23 déc. 2025 à 05:49:24 Citer ce post
I crashed every 2 hours in 0.3 After the initial leage start for 0.4 I barely crashed, maybe once in 5-6 days Since the last 2 hotfixes its back to crashing again every 2 hours, seems the client just runs out of memory and dies	Posté par coops00#3007 le 23 déc. 2025 à 06:58:20 Citer ce post
same issue my pc 7800x3d 7900gre crashed and shutdown after update driver 25.12.1	Posté par gamomo374#5944 le 23 déc. 2025 à 07:12:40 Citer ce post
same here with an 9800X3D, everytime I do group play and run abyss maps, as soon as I get close to the abyss my cpu spikes to 1000ms+ the game freezes and just instantly crashes to desktop, 5-6x per map	Posté par KungFuShadow#4864 le 23 déc. 2025 à 16:16:01 Citer ce post
Same. I don’t know if it’s something that was changed recently. I play on Xbox and up until today I had no issues with disconnecting. Now I can’t even make it 2 minutes without crashing. Then having to clear my saved data to try to log back in, then only to be greeted by 2 turning gears and a smoky back ground can’t even log back in without closing the game multiple times clearing reserved space and trying again. Also every time I clear my cache it immediately fills upon logging back into the game. Update: As of now completely unplayable can’t make it past the infinite loading screen mentioned above. Sad days 😢 Dernière édition par xCxRoNaViRus#8402, le 23 déc. 2025 à 17:14:40	Posté par xCxRoNaViRus#8402 le 23 déc. 2025 à 17:10:22 Citer ce post

What it looks like is that shaders freak out, HUGE spikes and on AMD i cannot increase the shader cache size for whatever low standard GGG has set, so a 24 gig vram is worthless. I've reset the Cache several times, including via AMD adren, D3d11 a directx11 error while i got dx12 on? what. i run sfc /scannow and image restore, re downloaded directx and says i got the latest and updated version. I have no problems whatsoever in any other game. Just this one, and especially this version. update2: so i installed latest BIOS, enabled XMP but no improvement, 2min into a map it freezes and crashes again, look at these CPU spikes? I cannot fk be CPU limited with a 9800x3d, makes no sense at all. I cannot even play this league.

Same here and longer and longer load times, start of league was fine but now its unplayable and getting "deadlocked" constantly	Posté par MikeSod1987#2163 le 26 déc. 2025 à 04:10:40 Citer ce post
You know what, i think it's shaders related. I cannot even play Vulkan as it doesnt load. But every single time it freezes/crash you see this massive Shaders spikes. (on dx12) (ignore the ping, joined a group from hong kong, otherside of the world) Found in another post that someone had this crash, so this must be shader/cpu related. there's some sort of particle effect that causes crash.
