Crashing to desktop when opening the social menu on linux
I encounter this problem prior to the patch and it persisted after 3.26... maybe its unique to my distro (OpenSUSE Tumbleweed) but when I hit the keybind to open the social menu, the game 5/5 times will crash to desktop. This doesn't happen with any other UI element in the game and is unique to the social menu.
I tried a fresh install on 3.25 which didn't resolve the issue, so I didn't bother doing it a second time. Last bumped on Oct 8, 2025, 2:35:19 AM

I tried troubleshooting this a little bit more and I discovered that this primarily happens at resolutions above 1920x1080, I was able to open the social menu on resolutions under that. I play on 3440x1440.
Resolutions the social menu worked on. 1280x720, 1600x900, 1680x1050, 1920x1080 (windowed) 1280x720, 1600x900 (full screen) Anything above 1920x1080 was a guaranteed crash in all Modes (windowed/window borderless/fullscreen) My first thought was that it was related to the view-port changing however that doesn't make sense considering my options/setting menus work without issue. I also would've concluded that the root cause was a configuration issue with my os; however, considering that the other menus and don't cause this issue while adjusting the view-port leads me to believe there may be something else at play causing this issue within PoE engine itself. This isn't a huge problem for me because I can just boot up windows if I want to interact with the social features; however, this is probably something you guys will want to look into. I came across a thread mentioning this happening to another player in PoE2 so blah blah blah please fix, thank you <3 OpenSUSE Tumbleweed i9-9900k | Gigabyte GTX 3070 | 32gb DDR4 3200mhz +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | NVIDIA-SMI 570.153.02 Driver Version: 570.153.02 CUDA Version: 12.8 Last edited by SonneyD#7881 on Jun 19, 2025, 11:59:49 AM

I have the same problem, its only crashes with social screen, tho i merged a steam and a standalone client account and im using both in steam rn, one of them crashes and one of them not. The one that doesnt crash has 1 friend in the friend list and totally works at any resolution no problem, but other one with like usually 5 online friends and many offline, crashes at any resolution.
