Updated: Exiled Squires causing crash loading into Raceway Hideout

There seems to be an issue with the Vastiri Raceway Hideout that was ported to POE2 today. The game will start up and load into Vastiri Raceway Hideout with no issues. But anytime I leave and try to port back into the Raceway, the game crashes and closes out. Anyone else who attempts to portal into the hideout also crashes and the game closes. This seems pretty easy to replicate. Was happy to see this hideout get ported over, but we need a quick fix here please!

Updated: I have tested with both the DX12 and Vulkan drivers. They both encounter the same issue. Also, when using DX12 driver, the green shading is absent from the center of the Cauldron Map Device. People are not able to even join my hideout to complete trades. I have not had a single crash in ages until this patch and using the ported MTX.

The issue has been isolated to the "Exiled Squires" hideout decoration. After reviewing the logs, I disabled the talking exiled squires on a hunch and now the problem is completely gone. Every time the game crashed the last log entry in Client.txt was:

[InGameAudioManager] TalkingPetAudioEvent 'LevelUp' triggered
