Cogwheels of doom - constant DX12 crashes (client-caused) - UNFIXED in 0.3.1

In my case whenever the pop-up would come I find it quicker to close and restart than waiting, just FYI

But it happens far less, so maybe not the best idea...

same issue..

but game go's milky and i get a windows popup.
game stopped responding , what will you do ?
close or wait for action.

if you wait for action it comes back with the cogs and get me back ingame after a 20-30 sec's ..

9800x3d, 870 chips, 32ddr5, gen 5 nvme, 3060ti

i used to crash to desk , so good it picks back up now but still anoying as fk.
Also affected. It wouldn't be that terrible if the game didn't just continue without UI, or the explored map wasn't reset.
Suggestion for all Nvidia users: go to the Nvidia driver issues thread and post your problems to create pressure on them to look for a fix: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/game-ready-drivers/13/574380/geforce-grd-58129-feedback-thread-released-91025/

Since the logs show the info from the driver reset, I sent this to Nvidia, and they're just replying it's not from their driver. Seems to be caused by the game client. I've yet to try Vulkan API, but in one o those threads there's mention that it also happens on Vulkan.

I've tried both on 581.29 and 576.88, and it seems like the older one has less instances of the issue, but it still happens.

Just posting to make it clear its quite widespread, happening across CPU's and GPU's. And hoping GGG acknowledges - since sending direct support requests just gets you a "we're not providing gameplay or technical support responses over email" D:


Just tried some hours running 576.88 and Vulkan API and no cog of death issues. Performance is lower than DX12 yes, but no freezing at all.

As mentioned in my OG post, I did try vulkan and yes, it solves the freezes, but the performance itself is unacceptable in my case.
Sitting in HO spamming alts for 4 hours straight is peak PoE gameplay. Thanks, Chris.
Same issue, already try it almost all, idk how any member of staff at least let us know that there are working on it

I am now getting this bullcrap every. single. map. The game is utterly unplayable. I guess it's time to move on and wait for this to be fixed.

0.3.1 DID NOT SOLVE THIS ISSUE DESPITE BEING SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED IN THE PATCH NOTES

It's sad it's 1 month league already and same problem still occur.
Worst in this is that, it resets instance map.
Now that it does not show rare mobs anymore, it hurts even more.
After the 0.3.1 patch, I tried playing with the DX12 rendering engine, but on my PC it has gotten even worse. Every map either shows the loading gear or kicks me back to desktop. With Vulkan, this issue doesn't occur at all, but the performance is really terrible.
(also this freeze issue happens while playing poe1 too)
