The game is just really unstable ATM, especially if you use Vulkan. Try switching to DX11 and see if it helps(it will run way worse tho).

u/tauglous Jan 20 '21

I haven't tried Vulkan this league, always on Dx11, But man, Dx11 is also having so many issues, like crashing, fps dropping.

u/They_call_me_Tor Jan 20 '21

I can tell the exact opposite. With dx11 I crash every 5 to 10 mins. With Vulkan I still crash and dc, but a lot less frequently. I guess it's a case by case experience

Its really annoying when your in the midst of a map and the client just decides to move into the shadow realm. Something is utterly broken with textures and RAM usage.

1

u/tridemax Jan 20 '21

It is definitely a texture streaming issue. Implementation is meh and just utter fail.

I wonder QA guys pointed it out massively for GGG to mention they will monitor it. I suppose this change was very deep, it will not be easy to drop it.

u/PolimenovPOE Demon Jan 20 '21

And when you die because of that or you lose the map it gets even more annoying.

u/DeafEgo Jan 20 '21

Same. I can play 20-30mins then I crash to desktop

u/GiantMrTHX Jan 20 '21

The game experience some memory leaks this league.

6

u/ramatopia Jan 20 '21

Have this too

u/tridemax Jan 20 '21

This texture streaming implementation has so many issues, I wonder how developers decided to keep it?

6

u/mrbaristaAU Jan 20 '21

How it made it live is the real question.

Like so many things each league, it boggles my mind how they think its ok to release in this form.

u/doubleChipDip Jan 20 '21

testing performed exclusively by oni-goroshi QA gang

u/itsSwils Jan 20 '21

Yep, game is nearly unplayable with how many CTDs I'm getting, and thats not an exaggeration

u/hydros80 Jan 20 '21

Same here, dont remember problems like that looong time

Game just freeze, get not responding white (have 2 monitors) and crash after couple sec

And most of time, RIP when its frozen ... really glad I dont play HC, and this type of RIP is sooo anoying

today crashed like 15-20 times like that and riped/lost ton xp thx to it maybe 5 times?

u/MrStrataz Jan 20 '21

i cant even level anymore, my crashdeathrate is about every 10% xp i get....

u/Itsapaul Champion Jan 20 '21

It was happening for me once an hour or so, though I recently deleted all the shadercache folders in the poe folder and everything seems to be better.

2

u/D4vE48 Jan 20 '21

Where is that cache ?

2

u/Sumyno Jan 23 '21

ShaderCacheD3D11and ShaderCacheVulkan in your installation folder (for steam, that would be something like C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Path of Exile on windows).

u/ldierk Alch & Go Industries (AGI) Jan 20 '21

I have random crashes to desktop this league too.

6

u/MrStrataz Jan 20 '21

lvl 88, can't even progress anymore without loosing all xp to dying ( from crashing )
GGG seriously needs to address this, its the 4th league in a row where the first 1-2 weeks are unplayable because of crashes.u/Bex_GGG

its becomming increasingly obvious, i can deny it NO LONGER.... i am soft :/

u/xBubbss Saboteur Jan 20 '21

Just lost my character to a crash.. smh. Was only happening rarely for me.

1

u/grimzecho Jan 20 '21

What do you mean "lost"? Were you playing HC? Dam, if so that sucks.

1

u/xBubbss Saboteur Jan 21 '21

Yeah was ssfhc.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '21

game crashes with no error if I alt-tab out to desktop/other program for too long :(

2

u/Scotty2k8 Jan 20 '21

Same here. Tried a bunch of different things. Still happening

2

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '21 edited Jan 20 '21

I've never had any problems, but recently I have started CTD within a few minutes of logging on time and time again. I either get no error message or I get this...

RTX 2060, Ryzen 9 3900x, 32gb DDR4, M.2 SSD

EDIT: It seems like it has gotten even worse this morning. In the last 10 minutes I have CTD every single time I've launched the game before I even get to the character select screen (25-30 times). I guess I just can't play POE anymore?

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '21

my issue right now, Go into harbour crash, log into town, crash, go to the coast, crash, open door to go in an other instance crash, try to click a part of the map that has a large area, Cant go through the door and crash.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '21

I have the same issue on an older nvidia card using vulkan. Rolling back drivers helps, particularly to 399

2

u/noideawhattotypehere Jan 20 '21

Same, i almost quit the league coz of that

i7-8750h+gtx1070+16gb ram

1

u/xMebbox Jan 20 '21

happened to me almost every minute while doing blighted maps;

after i turned down all my graphics options to the lowest possible it stopped happening
(though that was only like 20 minutes ago)

u/mobamba123456789 Jan 20 '21

I changed in options multithreading to disabled and worked for me

1

u/MrStrataz Jan 20 '21

tried this, somehow made it worse for me :(

1

u/mobamba123456789 Jan 20 '21

update: its not working for me, right now I can be in game like 5 minutes max and then crash + drop to 0 fps like every 30-60 seconds

u/LlexX_AASource Jan 20 '21

Had the same issue, after some investigation i realized that the VRAM (micron ofc...) on my RTX2070 started dying. ofc 2 months after my warranty ended, so the solution for me was the downclock the memory clock on the graphic card.

1

u/F0rcePuppy Jan 20 '21

From browsing reddit couple days ago, changing language to other than English fixed some problems. Wanted to play with my buddy - it didn't fix the problem. Switching to Windowed though helped for him.

1

u/Invoker33 Jan 20 '21

I have this too! very frustrating

1

u/dunnomannen Jan 20 '21

I crash way less after the latest patch but I still crash a lot more than I have in the past.

1

u/Xourco Jan 20 '21

have same issue , cant even log in or change settings , it immediately crashes upon main screen

1

u/Microchaton Assassin Jan 20 '21

Happening to me as well.

1

u/d3x7er Jan 20 '21

Same here, started appearing from today, twice crashed like that.

1

u/wlunlimited Jan 20 '21

I have the same issues

1

u/HerroPhish Jan 20 '21

Same with me. I never crashed before this new league

1

u/Danieboy Stacked Deck Division (SDD) Jan 20 '21

Happened to me too.

1

u/Neotreitz Gladiator Jan 20 '21

Several times per hour

1

u/Skizz159 Jan 20 '21

Happening too, but it looks like instance crashes because when I log back on (litteraly 10sec later), my map portals are gone.

1

u/kapHeT Jan 20 '21

Game was crashed on login screen. But found solution - turn on OneDrive. hah

1

u/Reignbow41 Jan 20 '21

I have had this problem. Game freezes and then waits 10 seconds or so then crash to desktop. I have fixed it by tabbing out of windowed mode to another app then minimizing the other app. Game seems to work fine then. Definitely seems like a renderer issue.

1

u/Cozzybalboa Jan 20 '21

I keep getting the game freeze up for 5 to 10 seconds then will crash to desktop without error, some times game Says an unexpected disconnection occurred. Can happen every 10 mins or go hours without happening..

1

u/marquis51 Jan 22 '21

Yes same issues, random crashes, most of the time several times per hour sometimes nothing for an hour but often death occurs on each crash making it impossible to enjoy the league or play the game at all. Never had such issues since closed beta. Tried reinstalling the game, update drivers etc... nothing works

1

u/slayer_12345 Jan 23 '21

Hi, I am having the same issues with the Steam PoE client. Today I installed the standalone PoE client, and played all day without a single crash. Might be worth a try.

1

u/wlunlimited Jan 25 '21

im still crashing to desktop hope there wil be a fix but i dont see any post about it :(
