Sandswept marsh bug

Game keeps lagging and disconnecting in sandswept marsh (right after transitioning from act 2). When I log in with other characters to other areas everything is fine.

Same here. Can't log in to that character, because the game crashes every time and starting zone is Sanswept Marsh. I've played another character in previous patches through this zone and had no problems.

I have a computer that has two GPUs installed, and the problem occurs both with RTX 4090 and 3050. I've changed every possible graphics setting to no avail.

Windows Event Viewer shows a generic crash report resulting from module KERNELBASE.dll.

I'll keep posting updates regarding this.

Computer restarted and newest Windows 11 updates installed. Still doesn't work.

Getting errors "2025/04/11 16:01:33 291328 8a08064e [CRIT Client 5748] Oodle failed to decompress" in the game log. Will try to delete shader cache next.

Deleting shader cache fixed the problem for me.

Shader cache can be found here: C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Path of Exile 2
