Deadlock Detected

same here since 2 days..steam overlay and windows gamebar disabled
Funniest thing: I haven't had the problem until the hotfix in which they have supposedly fixed the deadlock detected error.

Well... ever since then, I'm crashing 4-6 times a day with it.

awesome :D
Hi All,

I used to have this deadlock about 4-5 times per hour.

I fixed it.

The problem (for me) was Windows 10 pagefile management.

All systems let Windows manage the pagefile size by default.

I looked at my settings.

The recommended size was 29xx (can't remember)

It had 49xxx pagefile size, and was using up every bit of that as virtual memory (SSD).

I pulled it back to a 4000 to 10000 range manual set override.

MUCH snappier performance (not only for POE). Zero deadlocks in 2 days.

Using 49 GB of your SSD as virtual memory is just the sort of greed Microsoft would be proud of.

Please check your pagefile size. It *may* be the issue.
Same Deadlock issue here.
this so frustrating :(

Can confirm this works.

Recommended size auto, not any specific one. You just need to have free space to increase the paging file and still have enough space to prevent file fragmentation.

I believe I found the issue. I needed to update my NVIDIA drivers. That seems to solve the problem. I was also having problems with Path of Building and that is now solved as well.
