Constant Crashing

I am consistently crashing whenever I'm in the passive tree, engaging with a league mechanic, or if I just pause in general. Something tells me that the introduced pause mechanic is mucking something up in the game. There's no error, no warning, no freezing. Just crash straight to desktop. I've tried lowering all settings, switching between DX11/12/Vulkan. I validated all files (steam). It's quite literally a flip of the coin as to whether or not I'm going to crash when I open anything that pauses the game. Happens about 3-4 times an hour.

Almost three weeks later and crashes are still happening. Frequently and seemingly randomly. I believe it's a GPU crash because sometimes instead of crashing it will freeze for a few seconds, then the game will unpause and the screen will be completely black minus the enemy healthbars and UI while I'm still able to run around and cast skills. It's becoming quite unplayable at this point.

best part is gggs hotfixes. lets not fix those random errors - uncompressed animation error - lets just nerf something.




and next one, like 5 min later



15min later



u get the drill....

Bump

The crashes have now progressed to BSOD full system crashes. Between crashes I've run heavy benchmarks, CP2077 with full ray tracing/max settings, other highly demanding games that require massive CPU/GPU loads, and POE is the only program that causes this degree of system instability.

There is now no rhyme or reason to the crashes. I can be in maps, in my hideout, anywhere. I'm hoping this progression is being noted and looked into.
