After crashing can't close the program even through task manager.

So, after playing for a long time, finally had the error happen again, same call stack as in my previous report, though discord is no longer there (also looks like disabling steam overlay doesn't remove it from the stack).

One thing I did notice though was that my ram was at 96% usage, without anything really consuming it, in Task Manager PoE showed ~4GB of usage, however when checking Process Hacker, it indicated PoE had over 11GB of reserved "Private Bytes".

Example of the memory issue I mentioned:


Interestingly is that two instances of PoE with different PID's appear, after ending the task the bottom one (PID: 7552) is killed, while the top one (PID: 8856) remains and cannot be killed.

This isn't much of a fix but if you wait about a minute before trying to kill the program via task manager it works. I've gotten this crash many times at this point that I just tried waiting it out, after about 2 minutes I tried killing via task manager and it worked, this consistently works for me about a minute in.
I get this most of the time when my game crash as I exit to the character display. The game can be very persistent you just need to remind it you're in control.
Haven't had it happen in a few days, though there have been plenty of other crashes, but it finally happened again as a heads-up in case some of the crash fixes over the last week or two were meant to fix this one.
I have not had this crash yet since the start of the league after getting it on average once per session last league.

Heartfelt thanks GGG, whatever you did seems to have mitigated the issue at least!

I got it twice yesterday.

If you aren't playing as long as you did in past leagues that's probably why you aren't getting it, or if you upgraded your ram (my current theory is that it's a memory leak, so more memory = less likely to freeze)
Sadly i have to report that after the patch 3.14.1b this issue is back for me. With 3.13.1 it was gone.... so its back to killing my pc or 1 fps gameplay. looks like this league is over for me.

I wish you guys the best of luck and will the loot gods be with you.
This has happened to me multiple times.

I'm currently stuck with the game refusing to terminate...

Really shoddy programming.. wtf is this that I can't even terminate the program.
With the last patch I got serious problems with delirium or simulacrums. I got stable ~100 fps and then spikes to 10-15 fps and back to 90 in simulacrums. I switched to DX to avoid Vulcan freezes and now got nailed with this.
Been having this issue for the past week about once a day, the crash and cannot close without physically pushing power button. Can't shut down/restart windows normally as it cannot kill the task
