Game crashes very often - 2 630 864 472

Thanks for the suggestion, but I have always used wired connection.

I've been alternating between wired and wireless connections whenever it starts crashing on one often I can use the other.

Some kind of caching issue?

I'm surprised support hasn't chimed in.

So today I have been trying something. When I start the game, I do not interrupt the GGG loading screen. After logging in the server I wait for lets say around 10+ seconds before entering with a character. That has made my getting into the actual game much more successful. Thera are still plenty of times when the game is crashing though, be it during the initial loading, after a char select, and during entering a map.

I've got the same issue, and found this thread, any idea how common it is? I've had limited success with the waiting method and both wireless and wired connection have the same issue for me.

Hoping for support to say something soon!

I ran a few hours via a vpn then started crashing again.
Am running wired right now and just trying to stay in one place crafting.
It feels like a troll.

I'm in Thailand BTW. Anyone else?

Seems like when one type of connection starts crashing you can switch and get in on another. Musical f-ing chairs.

@Carp3l
Yes the success with the waiting is limited, but at the moment I don't have any other ideas.

@Bodicca
I don't know why would connection or location have to do with this particular problem, since I'm not getting disconnected, but the game client crashes. Then again, you may be correct. I'm not very tech or programming savvy, and the people that are, might be more concentrated on other issues or POE2 at the moment. Or hopefully they are working on the matter but have not answered if they have not figured out where the problem lies. I believe there is also a decent number of people encountering similar issues currently.

Someone suggested in another thread to set Renderer from "DirectX11 (default)" to to "Vulkan" and that seems to be the solution for me! No more crashes, at least for now. :-) You should all try that too, maybe it helps, like it did for me!

Well the funny thing is that the moment I select Vulkan the game crashes immediately. After that I turned off VSync and switched to DX12. For now it's working, but I won't get my hopes up too much so I don't jinx it :)

The last couple of days, I've been having PoE go unresponsive (Path of Exile is not responding) when trying to load into town after character selection.

After looking through the forums, it seems a lot of others are having similar issues.

I saw a suggestion somewhere to change the renderer in the settings. I changed mine from Direct11 to Direct12 and the I was able to load into town without a problem and played for around maybe 45 minutes with no issues, including switching between several zones.

I just felt I should mention this, since it could be a fix for some people.

I literally have never had issues, and now I cannot log into ANY characters. It just crashes after trying to enter on any. And they ALL say im entering Karui Shores, which I know for a fact not all my characters are there.
