POE keeps crashing on startup

This has started with the launch of 3.27. I would have to hit 'Close the game' and then start the game back up. The game will then crash again showing the same pop up. I have to do this about 5 to 10 times before the game sucessfully launches.

I'm on PC with a 3080 GPU, 32GB Ram, 3TB SSD, 800W PSU. If I need to post more specific specs let me know.

Same - I just got to MAPS - as it was loading into "Travel to x> loading that area freezes every time - it also freezes when I start a new character.

I've been experiencing the same thing. For the last several weeks. I launch the game and it crashes before the GGG cogwheel spin animation. Close it and reopen a number of times and eventually it'll launch and then have no issues. Very frustrating. My rig is a 3060ti, i7-10700k, 32gb ram
