Constant crashing including BSODs
Hi,
during the weeks following launch up till now I've already had an astonishing amount of crashes/bsods solely related to Path of Exile. Albeit very annoying, I was still able to play the game for (extended) periods of time between the crashes up until today. I was still able to play more or less properly the other evening/night but I am no longer able to do so since a couple of hours. With no changes on my end, soft- or hardware wise, the game won't stay open for longer than a couple of minutes, at most. Sometimes the recently implemented crash prevention will take action and not throw me out immediately, which will then happen a couple of seconds later. Here are some pictures I managed to take of the ingame graphs during a crash: ![]() ![]() ![]() The last one occurring right after the crash prevention saved me seconds before. Crashes occur during idling in town/ my hideout and are not related to any mechanic (I wish I could even get into a map). Now onto the specs and my game settings: -16GB RAM @3200 MHz -intel i5-11600k @ 3.90 GHz -Nvidia RTX 4070 Super 12GB -windows 10 64-bit -Running the game via steam ![]() ![]() ![]() What I have tried so far: -changed every setting there is and played around with different combinations -tried different networking modes, even changed the sound channel count (lol) -made sure my graphics card is performing properly, checked with other games and benchmarking software & msi afterburner -checked my ram via windows memory diagnostic -checked system files using sfc /scannow in windows command prompt -checked my system for any malware that could be causing this, none found -tested out various older (and obviously the newest) nvidia driver versions that led to a somewhat stable performance before -tried out various global and game related settings in the nvidia app -checked for any driver updates for other hardware and any other hardware related issues, none found -disabled discord overlay -verified integrity of game files through steam I think this is all I've done for now during the last couple of hours, not sure I can think of anything else. One last minor observation I am currently making is that the game seems to not be crashing during the login screen (that's how I was able to get the screenshots of my settings above). I hope I contributed a decent chunk of information that will help resolve the issues the game is currently having so that I, and probably many others can enjoy this banger of a game again not having to live in fear of crashes. :) Sincerely, Instinct Last edited by Inst1nct42#6564 on Jul 25, 2025, 8:56:30 AM Last bumped on Jul 25, 2025, 9:31:09 AM

Heyo,
You mention blue screens - would you happen to have one of the Stop Codes? If the game's crashing on your system then that's a concern, but the OS itself crashing is a more significant problem and so any insight into exactly what's happening would help us triage that. Also, would you mind giving us a link to your Client.txt file over on Pastebin ? You can open it in Notepad, and you can copy 'n' paste this into File Explorer's address bar to be taken to the file: %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Steam\steamapps\common\Path of Exile\logs |
