Keep crashing POE2

Still freezes my PC.

ryzen 5 5600
rtx 4060
32 gb
win 11 24h2
-----------------
Sometimes DX11 help with it, but drop to 15-20 fps

POE2 Keeps crashing on my PC right when I start the Chaos Dungeon for the first time. Have not had it crash yet till now.


Processor AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 8-Core Processor 4.20 GHz
Installed RAM 32.0 GB
Graphics Card AMD 6800

Crashed 4 attempts in a row in the chaos trial. not having any issues anywhere else

Windows 10 Home 64-bit
Intel Core i9 10900K @ 3.70GHz
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070
32GB DDR4 ram

Crash to desktop with no error and sometimes the 'Exception - Constant Buffer overflow' error; only occurs with DX12 and happens exactly every 2 hours with current setup.

Windows 11, 23H2 (so not 24H2)
7950X3D
RTX 4090
64 GB RAM

Something is leaking given the predictable crash frequency (and overflow exception).

Switched to Vulkan render, and set process affinity to CCD0 for my CPU (Core 0-15) instead of 'All cores'; now the game runs fine and no crashes.

This game crashes constantly on pc. It's incredibly frustrating! Most of the time I can get right back in to exactly where I was and just resume. I've crashed on multiple boss fights and still somehow get loot to drop when I relaunch. What's even more frustrating is that when I get back in the game, the map becomes greyed out as if unexplored.

The most frustrating of all though is crashing during the trial of chaos and losing all progress and the ultimatum offering. That's just unacceptable to me. PLEASE FIX THIS

Yeah it's totally random it seems and I'm glad I'm not the only one. Can be afk and it crashes or doing anything random or nothing for a few seconds and boom, crash.

POE2 Crashing on my PC right from time to time in chaos trial - I can't complete it because of that

Every day I read the last few pages of the crash threads hoping to see a stealth patch went live and the issue is fixed. I see there is nothing, but still scroll to cope cause all of my friends can play the game safely, but I can't.

Everyday I'm bombarded with a fix that works for some one and consider giving it a go, but never do. I think to myself, "This worked for that guy, maybe I should try. That doesn't seem too bad." But then the voice in my head reminds me how absurd of an issue this situation is. And how the last crash I experienced left me with no video output on the reboot. And how some one else in the thread is sending their PC in for repair cause of these crashes. And I just make my daily forum post, and leave. I built my PC last month with a 9800X3D and a 4080SUPER to be future proof and last me years... and I simply can't even play this game for fear of damaging my parts.

I'm done downloading third party software, limiting my CPU utilization %, disabling cores... Searching for 23H2 iso cause I have no roll back option just to crash again. Nothing works and its a POE issue cause no other game I have ever played in 10+ years of PC gaming has ever behaved like this.

I mean the whole thing is just ridiculous and it's a true shame it's not fixed. And what's even worse, is that this made it through all the testing and never was identified? I mean how does an issue this dramatic go unnoticed in their offices? Damn. Ultimate shame.

I was under the impression coming from Diablo 4 and Last Epoch, kinda new to the ARPG scene... that GGG was going to join the ranks of the Larian Studios and From Softwares of game development cause they are a wonderful studio with creativity, passion and innovation. While that may be true on the surface, if you dig deep you will find that they are no better than the Bungies, Activisions, and Blizzards of the world.

At the bare minimum, we should have a pinned message at the top of the bug page here that says something like "We are aware of crashing issues and are targeting a fix for...." They pride themselves on transparency with the community but care more about their image and good will so they ignore the portion of the community that is impacted by this issue, including some very well known streamers. Makes me feel like they are controlling the narrative as to not impact sales during the holiday. In fact, that's exactly what this is - optics. One tweet or forum post detailing the issue and you are off putting potential buyers. No better than Ubisoft, Activision, etc...

Despite this mishandling and incompetence, I'll still sink dozens of hours into the game because it is very well designed. I have 19 hours played so far with 15-20 crashes. Haven't played in more than a week. And wont be until this is fixed.
