Hard Consistent crashes since last update- Non stop

Hello and thank you for checking this post out.

The bugs i’ve notice is it doesn’t matter if i’m in town it will be find. Its only happens when in combat zones or especially too frequently in bosses. It also happens in solo and group play. I tried it out with a friend and my end was consistent crashed, they were pc.

The games been smooth all launch after the day 1 server realm was reset and up and running. I could play highest setting no problem no dc until now.

So since it happened I tried

1 turning all settings to low as possible. It didn’t work.
2 testing if it happens when in group play and it still happens in less than a minute.
3 as a monk I thought it was my bell making me crazy so I Tried not using it at all and the game still crashes consistently.

4 I tried doing slower attacks maybe not activate few and stick to storm wave. It still crashes on normal mobs.

5 closing and reopening the game.

6 reseting wifi (my speed are still as amazing but it still happens.)

7 I thought maybe it was a gateway issue so I tried texas and washington before going back to california with the problem continuing.


I seem to crash guaranteed without fail on any boss or mini boss that I encounter. Within less than a minute of being in the fight. Then when it loads me back in, thankfully i’m still in the fight. Just shortly after reconnecting trying to get the feel of the fight back it will disconnect again sometimes even less than 30 seconds at that point. Its got so bad and I love this game so much. I beat 3 bosses going through crashes. While it may reconnect me and instantly dc maybe 6-13 times before the bosses die and i can finally relax.

I was doing start of act 2
P.s the reconnect feature is a life saver and amazing. I haven’t been able to come ho with a way to fix these crashes its to the point where playing the game hurts more from the crashes, than the content i’m learning and getting better at.

If any other information is needed please let me
Know.

Anyone found a way to fix? Its not even the game lagging it just completely dc’s and boots me out the game. I’ll try to get some footage

I don’t know how to show photos on forum but this is the screen that pops up after randomly dc. This time less than 20 seconds. Though it runs smoothly until it dcs everytime. This time I tried using storm wave for clear without the buffs.

Bump. Crashed a fair bit before the last update but it's become exponentially worse since then.

Do you get thrown into the PS5 UI? Which Error code do you get? I‘m experiencing similar: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3634142

Also monk, lvl55 in act 2

I was having the same issues on monk. Learned it was gathering storm crashing my game. completely remove it and it should fix it. Hopefully this helps.

Ok wow - i tried out not using the skill, but yeah: stashing it solved the Problem for me. No crashes when Gathering Storm is not an active skill. Very specific Problem here: Hope the Developers figure out the issue as it is a pretty dope Skill.

Thank you so much for your help!

This was the problem all along. Just tried it out and after gathering storm was unequipped. The game hasn’t DC crashed at all since. I can finally play the beautiful game and I love this game. Really sad that i can’t use the monks endgame skill but I rather play than anything. Long as its equipped you will crash. Also even faster if you use it.
