Path of Exile quit unexpectedly

hello, I have been trying to open the game and encountered a crash prompt on Mac M3. previously it worked perfectly. I tried to download certain poe trade apps the day before and I assume it had something to do with it. AI says it has a microphone or audio error, I have tested and all works well, any suggestions?

I have same problem with starting game on my M4. Does anyone have problem issue? Where is the devs?
Same here. After the last update of the macOS native client, the game crashes right after the launcher disappears. After a clean install, the game runs without any problems the first time. On the second launch, it starts crashing.

Crash log:
https://pastebin.com/usrf8aPm
I managed to make it work somehow, so it runs more than once after clean install.

At first, I am not sure if GGG updated anything in client today, so maybe try it normally first.

But to make it work I did this:

1. Move PoE app into trash from Applications
2. Delete PoE data
"
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Path\ of\ Exile

3. Delete PoE Cache data (never helped before but I did it anyway)
"
rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/com.GGG.PathOfExile

4. Download new client from pathofexile.com and install it (also make the launcher download whole game - approx 64GB. WHAT IS IMPORTANT, as download finishes, DONT LAUNCH THE GAME!!!
"
https://www.pathofexile.com/download

5. After download, make copy of game files so you dont have to redownload it again in case of something breaks. This method should not take more space on the disk, until one of the copy change.
"
cp -rc ~/Library/Application\ Support/Path\ of\ Exile ~/Library/Application\ Support/Path\ of\ Exile.backup

6. I did those commands, they should delete settings for poe permissions for audio things, reset caches for audio in OS etc... if you are not sure, ask AI. No idea if this is necessary, never helped before but in this all steps above and after, poe working so...
"
tccutil reset Microphone com.GGG.PathOfExile
defaults delete com.apple.coreaudio.AVAUVoiceIOClients 2>/dev/null
defaults delete com.apple.audio.AVAUVoiceIO 2>/dev/null
sudo rm -f /Library/Preferences/com.apple.audio.AVAUVoice*.plist
rm -f ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.audio.AVAUVoice*.plist
killall cfprefsd
sudo killall coreaudiod


From this point, just try to launch the game.
If for some reason, the first launch or any next launch it crash, you can:

1. Move PoE app to the trash.
2. Delete game data
"
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Path\ of\ Exile

3. Download new Client and move it to the Application - dont run the installed app
4. Copy backup game data
"
cp -rc ~/Library/Application\ Support/Path\ of\ Exile.backup ~/Library/Application\ Support/Path\ of\ Exile

5. Run the Path of Exile app.

THis should download some data of 60MB size, then click launch and it should work.
