Sometimes POE literally closes the window when I get close to a Mercenary in the map

I'm just mapping and I can't even clear the map because there's like an invisible circle around the mercenary that when I approach it my game instantly crashes and disconnects me. Anyone else have this problem?

Same for me.

First the game told me that my grafics drives was outdated.
So I updated it, but nothing changed ...
Some maps work without problems, others like you said.
When I come to close to the merc the screen kinda freezes, then moves for 2 frames in the next 10 seconds, then poe just closes.

Edit: Had the problem also during campaign!

As of June 23rd, this bug has still not been patched. Every 20 maps or so I come across a merc and just dc losing all my ability to complete this map
