Frequent Crash to Desktop - PoE1

I am crashing frequently (at least once per 5 minutes) making the game unplayable. Although I experience the hard-lock loading screen crash in poe2 (fixed with the uncrasher utility), this seems to be a different issue. I've tried Steam/non-steam client, 32bit/64bit executable, as admin/non-admin. I've tried all 3 renderers, as well as various settings. I've closed all other applications.

The crash timings seem to be random, but will often happen when doing any Settler's related "ore" events.

Windows event viewer doesn't show anything else happening at the time of the crash, but I can see the crash listed under Windows Logs -> Application, as an application error:

I've also run into similar issues on Linux, but the crashes are less frequent. I'll see if Linux's logs are any better and update the thread.


- Computer specs: AMD Ryzen 5 7600; NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER; ASRock B650M Pro RS WiFi; 32GB (2*16) RAM @ 6000MT/s; Windows 11 Pro (but also tested on Fedora41). Video driver (Windows) is 572.16, but I was seeing the same issue prior to update.
- Game Settings: Tried all possible video settings, crashing in all cases.


Here's a display capture of when the crash occurs, showing most/all settings are set to minimum (other than multithreading). I've tried various other settings (including disabling multithreading) but I still crash. https://streamable.com/7ev4kr

Edit: Crashed on Linux but it took a while (15-20 mins). I did have Steam overlay open when it occurred, I will try disabling it and test more. I understand Linux isn't necessarily supported, but thought maybe this could help diagnosing.

Update - turns out Dota2 has started crashing to desktop in a similar fashion, seems this is an issue with my system and not necessarily PoE.

I've updated my BIOS to the latest version and have had better stability in PoE, but only about 30 mins of testing. I did experience a hardlock requiring PC reset when loading into Kingsmarch, but that may be the Windows 11 24H2 issue that also impacts PoE2. I also experienced a crash to desktop when alt-tabbing, but otherwise it has been fine.

I will continue testing with PoE1 and Dota to see if the problem persists, but I suspect it's an issue with one of CPU/Memory/Motherboard, given the bios update helped a little (knock on wood).
