Cross play PS5 & PC Consistant crash

I'm experiencing a persistent issue with Path of Exile 2 Early Access while attempting crossplay between PC and PS5. I'm playing on PC, and my friend is playing on PS5. The crashes occur consistently during any loading screen. This behavior renders the game unplayable in crossplay sessions as the crashes persist until the PS5 player leaves the party.

Key Details:

Platform Details:

• My Platform: PC
• Friend’s Platform: PS5

Issue Summary:

• The game crashes during any load screen while in a crossplay session between PC and PS5.
• Once the crash occurs, the affected PC character becomes unplayable until the PS5 player exits the party.

Observed Behavior:

• The crash seems to occur regardless of the loading screen's type or the specific action being performed.
• This issue makes it impossible to progress or continue playing with the affected character in the party.

Related Findings:

• I came across similar reports in the Xbox forums, where Xbox players are experiencing crashes in crossplay scenarios. However, I couldn’t find any documentation or reports specifically addressing this issue between PC and PS5 players, with the PC player crashing.

Steps Taken to Troubleshoot:

1. Verified game files and ensured all updates were installed.
2. Checked for known issues on official forums but found no mention of this specific crossplay scenario.
3. Attempted to reproduce the issue, and it occurs reliably under the described conditions.

Thank you for your time and support!

I am now consistently crashing in Trials on PS5. First run crashed right after descent on platform. The second time I was going into the midway mini boss and crashed as soon as he was damageable. Makes it completely unplayable and pointless to even try to ascend again.

I have the exact same issue. I’m on PS5, and my friends on PC always crash when they join my party. I have to leave the party or remove my friends on PC; otherwise, they can’t reconnect. I also posted about this in the technical issues forum. Here’s the link: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3611491

Same Xbox & PS5 and PS5 solo


Bitte reparieren Sie das Spiel, damit die Spieler zumindest spielen können? Meine Freunde werden jedes Mal aus dem Spiel geworfen, wenn sie auf PS5 reisen, das ist unspielbar!!!! Es gibt wichtigere Dinge als die Reparatur des Hexen build, es ist wichtiger die PS5 Version stabil zu machen!!! "bitte liken und kommentieren", damit es Aufmerksamkeit bekommt!

Please fix the game so players can at least play? My friends are kicked out of the game every time they travel on PS5, that's unplayable!!!! There are more important things than fixing the witch build, it's more important to make pS5 version stable!!! "please like and comment" just so it gets attention!

Same issue here. The game crashes on PC every time I party up with someone on their PS5 and change zones. After the initial crash I either need to toggle characters or wait some length of time before I can load back on to the character where the crash occurred.

I read about this a few days ago, but last night I teamed up with 2 friends both playing on PC. No issues with crashing. Only issue I saw was some ground textures not loading at 1 map. Maps after the initial one that I joined up on was fine though. I may have been lucky, or it may have been fixed?

I've got the same issue when i play with a pc player his games crashes on switching area/loading screens. it was working the other day but seems to be a lot worse with the new patch
