Abyss Core Pet causing crash to desktop, no error code

Basic Specs:

AMD Ryzen 7600x
AMD Radeon 7600 Driver 25.3.1 (main display/graphics card)
Nvidia RTX 3050 Driver 572.83 (second display, not set as display in graphics settings but may still be assisting my Radeon 7600 in some processing)
32GB DDR5 RAM


Issue:
I've noticed that when the Abyss Core Pet is active, while I'm idle and the Core Pet does the animation where it seems like he beams a hole in the ground, the game crashes to desktop before the hole can be created. No error codes given.


Reproducibility: High. Every time the Abyss Core Pet went into the animation, right before the hole is created on the ground, the game would CTD.


Troubleshooting: I've noodled with basically every setting in the graphics tab, in game and on the login screen. I've changed the renderer from DX12 to DX11/Vulkan. I changed my display mode, I set all the different "quality settings" to low. Turned off dynamic culling, resolution, engine multithreading. Nothing corrected the issue.

That could just be down to corruption of a single game asset.

Does the issue persist after following the first 2 steps of Troubleshooting your Path of Exile client?

One of those steps worked! Either verifying the game files or deleting the caches fixed the issue.

Lesson learned, make sure to see the forums for basic troubleshooting.

Awesome, glad to hear it! :)
