Repeated crashing walking in Kingsmarch

This has happened a few times, and while the occasional crash I've just "gotten used to" as for what to expect from PoE, this has gotten consistent enough that I'm calling it out.

While in Kingsmarch, moving near the farm plots will often just cause the game to hang for several seconds, and then boot me back to login with the "an unexpected interruption occurred." While there does not seem to be anything that reliably 100% produces the error, it has always occurred at this particular plot, and (if memory serves) was always on the first time walking near that area during that visit. (e.g, I never had any visits where I went up there with no issue, only for it to crash during a later pass over during the same instance)

Bug Report #: Not exactly possible to use the "/debug" command when the game is hardlocked.

Reproduction: Unknown, other than this has exclusively occurred in the particular area of Kingsmarch

Screenshot: Attached is a "screenshot" of the game at the point that it froze. (the F12 screenshot key does not work when frozen, but I managed to use PrntScrn to capture it to my clipboard) Notice the mid-animation frame for the character running; visual updates on the client entirely halted.

have had the same thing happen, just by walking nearby the farm lands it suddenly decide to disconect me. at least it seem to only happen like once a day max for me.
I say its the chicken, theyre after us, just like zelda's chicken.

I had this happen a few times today, in my case after the 3.25.0b Hotfix 2 patch (I haven't had this occur previously).

It was in the exact same spot depicted in the screenshot above and behaved the same way:

- Walked toward the farm gate (also occurred with leap slam)
- Player froze mid-animation (even mid-air)
- POE standalone client stopped responding for several seconds, which was reported by Windows 10 as an error.
- When POE eventually responded, I was kicked for an 'unexpected disconnect'

I have a rank 3 town and two active farm plots (last applied upgrade was for pumpkins).


[Edited to note: While likely not important, I noted in the screenshots I took when this problem occurred that there were at least 11-12 chickens on screen at the time. I have also frozen leaving the left side door of the tavern toward the same spot, freezing in a slightly different spot closer to the tavern.]

So this points possibly to the auto-voicelines being the potential culprit based on the 2 replies so far.

It can't just be us 3 that are experiencing it. I hope that more will reply having the same problem, so it just might get "looked into".

It may not be completely game-breaking, but it really gets annoying sometimes.

Thanks to anyone stepping forward with their own special circumstances with this potential bug.

Have this problem as well. I crash quite frequently in King's March when moving.

Good going all, we seem to be gaining traction, this really needs looked into.

Me, as well

Update: actually hadn't had a crash like that in a couple days... But then it struck again. This time at a different spot for once. Exact same nature of it hanging, then disconnecting a few seconds later. Screencap is attached. Once again, this was scraped from the clipboard using the PrntScrn button, rather than a proper screencap (as the in-game button did not work because nothing in the game responded)

Maybe it was the chickens after all ...

From the recent 3.25.0d patch notes:

Fixed a client crash caused by the chickens in Kingsmarch.
