Failed to decompress (corrupted data)

I have now played for over a week with 0 crashing.

This (sadly) is only for those having the issue on Intel CPU's, although maybe the AMD users can find something similar.

1) Download Intel Extreme Tuning Utility
2) Set the "Performance Core Ratio" from 55x to 53x
3) Apply change and enjoy!


I should note, you will need to run this program every time you restart your PC, but you could find similar settings in your BIOS to make it a permanent change I would think.

Also, some extra information, it appears Unreal Engine is having the same issue with Intel CPU's and it's caused by them pushing their CPU's too far so that under large sustained loads, such as Cache creation/decompression, the system will become unstable. It's a known issue that will need Intel and Mobo manufacturers to resolve.

I hope this helps some people play PoE and any other games that may be crashing for similar reason.



So far this seems to have fixed it for me. Only Testing for about an hour. I also undervolted my cpu as well. I can now run on high performance instead of power saving and the game is finally running well. Hopefully this continues to bear fruit of workability. No crashes or corrupted data yet XfingersX
Prepare for bumping this topic in new league guys :)
just got this issue trying to load ONLY into karui shores and nowhere else, i was playing fine 12 hours ago and now i cannot load into karui shores, which my league character is stuck in.
Time for an update from me.
I experienced this error on two different pc's, (Gen 13 intel and gen 14 intel)

For me it turned out to be the CPU's (4! total) that got overloaded by PoE and ASUS bios not capping the Long term and short term power, that allowed the CPU to just eat more and more power, and termal throttle on all cores all the time, and when you like me play PoE for 12+ hours sometimes, it actually destroyed the cores, so sometimes I got the decompress error or simply just have the game shut down on me out of the blue.

There are many articles around now about this issue and Intel are now forcing manufactors to rate limit the power in Bios.
So firmware update your bios if you got gen 13 or 14 Intel!

I got my PC from a specialist, so I could just deliver the pc back everytime I ran in to this problem, and after they fixed the bios i've been running PoE smooth for 2 months now.

This helps me log in to Towns first time. Thanks bro.

I'm using i9-13900KF 3.00 GHz, RTX 4090, and WIN 11
seems like it is intel's fault on 13th and 14th gen
it is all over the news, GN, Lvl1Tech...
and the performance on these failing chips will degrade even more over time

and i hope GGG servers run on amd chips, reported 100x more stable on decompress tasks...not kidding about the 100x btw
My cpu is i7gen14th.today i update bios.
I play 3 hour but instantly crash no more. it work!
I think gen13rd have same problem

Had this issue, tried all manner of fixes - reinstall nvidia drivers, packcheck etc.

Followed the above and it worked perfectly, I lowered mine down to 50x (5GHz), did not try higher clock yet. 14700k + 3070.
On Asus Z790, you'll need to go in the bios an enable undervolt protection (in the AI Tweaker/Tweaker Paradise area) AND also disable the intel virtualisation (in the Advanced/CPU section) Hope this helps.
13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900KF

moved it down to 53x it worked for a bit... then it started crashing.. moved to 52x.... worked fine but just now started getting the decompress message again... (about 5 hours from last playing)

Gonna go change it to 50x but I don't know if this is a perm fix?
Just adjusted it to 50 - managed to play ten mins and then its back to crashing :(
