POE 2 keeps crashing

I've been repeatedly crashing, lucky if I get through a map.

It wasn't like this when the game launched for me, it started recently.

It's nearly unplayable because it's a toss up if the game counts my crash as a death or not, best case scenario I lose a portal.

Playing co-op I crashed in a boss fight, couldn't even join back in because the game is so freaking strict about the whole one-attempt policy. It's BS, I didn't die, let me back in the map. Punishing us, because of the game's crashing problem, is miserable.

I had the same thing happen to me out of the blue, everything was ok before
I am experiencing a recurring issue in Act 2 while entering The Forsaken Son. Every time I approach the Azarian boss, the game crashes, and I am unable to log back in for a while. I have been trying to resolve this issue for the 24 hours without success. Pls somebodyhelp me!!!


Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
TUF B450M-PLUS GAMING
AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 6-Core Processor, 3801 Mhz, 6 Core, 12 Processor
AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT

It' s quite good PC, not a wooden one!

i had something similar after 0x12b microcode bios upgrade and fixed it with a single bios setting.

i see most people here are using amd cpus tho so it's a different issue i guess.

edit: "CPU lite load" from [normal] to [intel's default]
was the setting on MSI bios.

it also fixed ACCESS_VIOLATION (memory couldn't be "read") crashes on wow.

Hello all, have a crashes every day and it seems like PCI-e problem. Because, after crash and reboot, my wy-fy adapter doesn`t work (TP-link Archer, win10 22H2 19045.5487). Need turn off computer (RX6600XT), 2 minutes waiting and start. With laptop Acer Nitro 5 (GTX1660ti)- everything ok, no crashes at all (win11 24H2 26100.3194).

I get the random crashes as well.... there is no reason for this. It will just blue screen the computer and leave nothing in the logs to read since it crashes so fast. I can play for 8 hours straight, no issues, then within the last hour ive had 3 crashes. Everything is up to date. Im running a 9800x3d, with 32gb of 6000mhz amd expo ram, on a 7900xtx using Vulkan. I have SAM enabled. This is the ONLY game i have that crashes my computer like this. I am running it on a pcie gen 4 m.2 drive, and i have also run it on a gen 3 drive, with the same results. Running windows 11. Please give us a fix....

also, running it at 4k, with everything turned up, with NO FRAME generation, in a fullscreen windowed mode.

Random crashes with failed to create resource for textures. from 'boots' (when sitting literally idle in hideout) .. to now I'm not even getting error messages just picture freezes.. audio continues for 10+ seconds .. then at desktop with no error what so ever.
