kegworks + dx12 crashing recently

Recently (last 4 or 5 days it seems) POE has been randomly crashing. It crashes more and more, sometimes there are people's hideouts I just can't get to, it crashes immediately on trying to go there, etc.

Talking it over with AI the theory is that it's some shaders that are incompatible with dx11 and dx12. If I delete most of the shader caches the I get a bit more playtime, but it always just crashes again at some point (sometimes i get 30-45 minutes).

I would use the apple version but it's sooo laggy and I haven't been able to get awaken poe trade to work with it.

Not sure if this is something you guys are willing to try and fix.

Roll back your graphics driver until you find one that works. That's what I did.
What do you mean by roll back my graphics driver? Are you using linux?

Which game client & Operating System are you using?
Having spent thousands of euros on Path of Exile over the years, I will not be further supporting it financially until and unless GGG resumes offering Technical Support.

Im using kegworks on mac (m4 air with Tahoe 26.2) to run the windows version of the client
seems like this is likely related to all the other people complaining about shaders crashes
