POE 2 0.4 crashes on launching post latest update on 15th December

Hi,

POE 2 seems to be crashing post launch within 5 seconds every time.I'm not sure why.

I've tried every troubleshooting approach:
- Changed from DX 12 > Vulkan > DX11
- Removed engine multithreading
- Reverted drivers from AMD Adrenalin latest to 25.9.2 (seems to work for some but not me)
- Googled and went through the forums for answers
- Restarted the PC multiple times

I can see my CPU temperature spiking on launch and then the game just shuts down. It was working fine 2 days ago but post an update when I launched the game today, it's not even able to run the game.



Attaching my specs for your reference:

9800 x3d
32 gb ram
9070 xt

Update: A few patches just downloaded as of 2 mins ago but this problem continues to persist.

Few more things I've tried:

- Checked the integrity of the files 3 times
- Cleared the shaders manually for all (dx11, dx12 and vulkan) and tried to restart

Hi,

The game is still crashing and not launching for me. It's been 5 hours. Can anyone please help?

Game is crashing for me too, Yesterday all was was good, but this morning game crashes after few mins of play
Shaders Recalculated
Integrity checked nothing helps

Hi GGG,

Tried re-installing the game. Still didn't work. Same issue. Nothing is helping.

Yeah I can relate. All I've wanted to do is play the game and it's crashing non-stop. Not even getting past the loading screen.
