CTD On booting - Failed to decompress (corrupted data)
" I have now also tried:
I'm fairly certain I've ruled out processor, RAM, NVME, video card, and by extension probably motherboard. I really don't know what else to do at this point. POE2 has been running in the background at 135-144FPS while I typed all this just fine, and I've left it run for like half an hour before. When I finish this zone and go to the next one I'll be pulling my hair out again... |

Reporting back that I have finally found something that works for me. It was not CPU related, but disabling XMP so my DDR5 only runs with 4800Mhz makes it run stable.

Updating because I've taken another stab at getting my prime rig in use today on my weekend, as contrary to what many are saying, video game crashing is not unique to PoE2. We need to collectively find the common denominator. None of my friends are getting either version of the crash, and just on Steam stats alone half a million players are playing it right now (also not including Epic, standalone, Xbox, or PS5).
Spoiler
I am now taking the plunge on a Windows reinstall, but I have strong suspicions it won't fix a thing...
SYSTEM SPECS: " I don't get a hard crash like the AMD folks do. It's almost always related to loading a different zone, but I have had it now a couple times in the passives tree and loading the map. Usually just *poof* and I'm looking at my desktop; blink and you'll miss it. On rare occasions it will stutter, the loading GGG gears will render at 0-2fps, sounds get choppy, and then desktop. My Client.txt gets one of these as its last entry for each crash: " Client # is always random, guessing it's a process ID, but I'm easily up over 100 crashes now and nothing I've read with "the fix guys omg" has worked. With bad luck and speed I can get 4 crashes in 20 seconds trying to get back in, and with good luck I can change zones. It does not appear to be related to whether I hold my breath or not, but I will keep trying though! In my quest, I've tried:
" The only "successful" workaround I have used -- and this is not a real fix nor is it a circumstance most people even have available -- was to resurrect my old gaming rig. Memory and CPU aren't interchangeable so I can't even test that out, but by doing so I've at least ruled out my video card. Playing at 35-55fps I carried a couple players through acts 2 & 3, and levelled a whole new character to 18 without crashing, not even once. On my "good" system, I crash almost every time I zone and sometimes before even making it to the character selection screen. Last edited by ymc469#2355 on Dec 15, 2024, 12:42:13 AM

I also have experimented some more. I tried different hardware components that I had available and the issue must be one of those, because it runs fine on my old system with my other components:
Cpu Intel i9 4900k Ram ddr5 64gb 6600hz Mainboard chip intel b760 I have no issues in other games since I rmad my cpu and applied the Intel bios fix. This is really annoying. |

" You just described my last 2 days. I was running the game just fine, now i'm stuck with this. |
