[PS4] Game Crash, Level 100, Headache

Around 1:00 AM CST I was delving and just hit 60% EXP into level 99. I tried and gave up during blight league to hit level 100 due to dying from game crashing.

Mind you since I started focused on leveling up from 99 to 100 I have had around 7-8 game crashes. Since I am playing a Juggernaut my high defense's give me a small grace period to log back in before I die. This time around I died, mainly because the game crash was so bad it locked up my PS4 XMB interface for a good minute.

I run anywhere between 7.0-9.5 Million EXP a hour with my current build. So this means I have to slog through another 4-7 hours of grinding to get back to where I was at.

I would like to ask politely ask GGG to give me that 10% experience back, but I doubt that would happen. So I guess my real question here has GGG addressed the issue of game crashing with PoE on the consoles?

I'm not going to act entitled teenager and whine out loud, but I quit Blight league due to this very issue. It just knocks the winds out of my sail when I am playing extremely careful to stay alive, yet I die to something I have no control over.

Update

1:47AM

Just died again. Went from 68% down to 58% due to game crash.

Lol man...ive been level 99 for almost a year now. Im currently on another hiatus for this same reason. I dont mind dying from some crazy bs in the game that happens once in a blue moon. But lag and crashes are 80% of the reason Im giving up on 100. Lol even with quarantine going on....i dont have the time for this shit anymore. Part two will be out next year anyway. Using this time to play other games...fuck it. They need to add chat anyway...game feels fucking dead without it.

THis issue on Crashing, lagging, stuttering and on and on, has been going on for as far as I can remember. It has been the issue each and every league, and it will continue till the day Path of Exile 4.0.0 or PoE 2 hits the streets.
When that happens you will see that improvements of this issue is going to be greatly improved.
But do not expect this to happen until that day.

Many of these things also relies on what kind of internet provider you are currently having, what country and region you are in, what kind of Speeds and Services you are currently in possession/position of, it also relies on what kind of Server(s) you are connected to.
Many Servers also needs to be replaced quite simply because they are too old and completely crappy.

I know that many people doesn´t care about things like this and even CONSIDER that this may be the case(s).

But when all this is said it also comes down to the fact that states Work, Maintenance and Money. And Money is one of the main key words here, in fact. Because it ALL costs MONEY.

I am running 1 Gigabit Up and 1 Gigabit Down. All the Ports that the Playstation Network uses, as well as what Ports I could find for Path of Exile have been Forwarded. And Of course I use wired connection always. I Live in Texas, and thus use the Texas server yet I still have rubberband/dsync issues.

I could understand if I was running a build that was flying across the screen, but I am not. I am using a slowy, Tanky, Juggernaut. Yet the server still seems to forgot where I am.

I have a theory that Leap Slam may be the culprit. So I am going to swap to Flame Dash and see what happens. I have finally started to take note that when I crash, It seems to happen after about 1 1/2 to 2 hours of gameplay. And It seems to crash right as a use Leap Slam. I could be mistaken, but it seems that is what happens.

Update 12:05pm

So I swapped out Leap Slam+Faster Attacks with Flame Dash+Second Wind Support.

I cleared Promenade Map, started up Plaza Map and crash immediately. The crash was so bad my PS4 Pro HDMI was not detected by my Sony Bravia so I had to completely shut everything down.

Yea I think I've given up now. Hitting Level 100 with these issues is impossible.

Ya, what can one say then what I have already said. There are so many issues coming in when you think about it. I do also have had lags/Stuttering myself, but I rarely have had so serious issues that it has been totally completely impossible to play. For those times I´ve had that kind of issue I can count them on one single hand having that big issues. And that much lag is long and far between those happenings. And I have 100´s of hours playtime.

I do not have extremely quick internet, but I do have a stable one.

11:59PM

Died again from crashing. 81% to 71%. I am even playing in burst under one hour yet this still happens.
