Technical Support (Path of Exile 1) - Crashes on startup logs show OODLE errors - Forum

Tried DX11, DX12, and Vulkan. Game crashes with all three, logs show lots of OODLE errors: 2025/06/16 19:27:31 1062765 ff073c2f [WARN Client 8312] OODLE ERROR : corruption : excesses_ptr == excesses_end_ptr 2025/06/16 19:27:31 1062765 ff073c2f [WARN Client 8312] OODLE ERROR : LZ corruption : DecodeOneQuantum fail! 2025/06/16 19:27:31 1062765 ff073c2f [WARN Client 8312] OODLE ERROR : LZ corruption : OodleLZ_Decompress failed (-402817936 != 0) 2025/06/16 19:27:31 1062765 dfeec9b0 [WARN Client 8312] Oodle failed to decompress.

Please post a DxDiag on Pastebin and give us a link to it there. If you're unfamiliar with DxDiags, EA have a step-by-step guide available here which should get you through the process. Open it using Notepad to copy 'n' paste it over to Pastebin. Today… by divine decree… your patch of Excel, begins.	Posted by Sarno#0493 on Jun 16, 2025, 8:40:38 PM Quote this Post

Click on "Change plan settings" for your currently active plan. Click on "Change advanced power settings." Expand "Processor power management" if it is currently collapsed. Expand "Minimum processor state." If the Setting is set to "100%", change it to "99%". Otherwise, don't change it; just move on to the steps below. Expand "Maximum processor state." Change the Setting to "99%". Click on Apply, then click OK. Restart your computer. (Not shut down. Restart. This is important.) Test the game to see whether the issue is still occurring. Let us know! If you don't notice any improvement, you'll want to revert any changes you've made as they will negatively impact your CPU's performance. But lower FPS trumps zero FPS, so if it makes the difference in whether you can play at all, the trade-off's likely worth it. Today… by divine decree… your patch of Excel, begins.

hey, if you are still having this problem you can try this solution which worked for me: Go to your game's installation location (mine's under C:\Program Files (x86)\Grinding Gear Games\Path of Exile) Then run "PackCheck.exe", my crashes were due to some graphics files/assets or something getting corrupted and this tool was able to fix them	Posted by winterdaze#4288 on Jun 16, 2025, 11:08:32 PM Quote this Post
