definitely check your ram usage, depending on how fast it fills up it can still be the cause even with 64gb. But it could be something else too (or a combo), game is full of performance and stability issues this patch.


Checked RAM usage and it doesn’t go above 8GB, at 30% total RAM utilization. It’s not that.
Having the same issue. Can run all other games except this one.
Intel i9 14900K
32 Gb of Ram
RTX 4070 Super
Its to the point where I cant progress the campaign at all anymore because it crashes too quickly.
Weird thing is that this game was running perfectly in the previous season.
Idk what they changed in the optimization but it was clearly a step backwards.

I've been getting more crashing as well. I did crash some at the start of 0.3 but it was more rare, maybe once a day but now it's every map. Can't really play anymore.

Often times I get no error codes, just my AMD software popping up saying the driver crashed and recovered. However, I do sometimes get a "D3D11CreateDevice: unknown error" on crash from the game.

Event Viewer offers some info but I'm not really sure how to decipher it.

No tears. Only dreams now.
It's insane this has not been fixed yet.

Nvidia drivers crash. It causes the gears to show and the game to freeze. Once the driver reloads, the game continues but I have black fog on the map where i once went.

It seems AMD graphics card owners get a crash to desktop.

13600k and a 4090 with 32g of ram here. Many crashes. For me, it seems to happen the most during big intense fights. This does not happen in my other games that are more graphically demanding (MH:Wilds, BG3). This is 100% a POE 2 issue.
Hi,
I am experiencing the same issues as everyone else.
The game crashes instantly every time I switch to a new map or walking at the town. Can’t the game progress at all!!!!

I can't play it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't play it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't play it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i was experiencing a lot of crashes with no message and tryed a los of thing to try to fix it but nothing worked, this morning i updated the bios and for now i i did not have any crash in 1 hour and 30min or so, i need to keep playing to be sure its fixed.

forgot to mention im running an intel 14700kf so maybe was voltage issues that made gfx to crash not sure tho.

update, still no crash in all the morning since the biod update, try it if you didnt yet

Same Problem here...

I can play maybe an hour... then the game freezes up, and shuts down.
It happens everywhere... also while standing in town and doing nothing.

Could be a buffer problem... when it runs full, it shuts down.
But i am not a techy :-P


Intel Core i7-12700KF | 12x 3.60 GHz, 25MB L3-Cache
ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-F GAMING WIFI | Intel Z690
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 8GB | MSI Gaming Z Trio LHR
32GB DD5 RAM... not sure which

running on a :
Samsung 990 PRO NVMe M.2 SSD, 2 TB
Third Edict Patch (0.3.0)my pc keeps shutdown after launch the game the previous patch just works fine there is no issue I've tried so many games all works fine i thought the issue from my pc but i realized this patch need to be fix so please GGG fix this mess😔i love this game and cant stop playing so i will wait till an update coming sooner or later....

Specs:
i7 14700k
RTX 4090
RAM DDR5 32GB
idk if i'm high end but I think I am. 4080 Super, 7900x, 32gigs of ram and more than enough power supply. What confuses me is I think the disconnects register as a Live Kernel Event 141, which indicates a gpu failure but I find it unlikely my gpu is failing. Still, not sure if it's on the games end or mine

Anyone else have this issue?
