Lab is impossible for someone

Reason is I often have "Display driver not responding" error.
I didn't have this problem till last year and had to rest for a year.
I came back in the hope that his issue might have been fixed.
But no... guess nobody cares about people getting this message.

I have done everything I can to prevent this (I even changed my GPU, power supply, motherboard etc..)
I have followed every instruction on the forum.
Nothing works.

I have a friend who plays with me which has a much older and crappy computer but he never gets this problem.


I have searched for fixing this problem for days and found

1. Many other games do have identical problems

2. Other games respond (Devs themselves or Tech team) to the issue and suggest a solution

3. There are at least 6 thread in POE forum about this issue

4. No one from GGG has ever replied nor gave any solutions


I am not good with computer, I have many other games with higher requirements than POE
but everything runs smooth (FarCry4, Fallout4, Witcher2 etc..)
And please don't tell me every game is different, I know POE uses more power than other games and thats why I changed my power supply to deal with that. My computer was even sent to a well known expert engineer who only deals with gaming computers (which cost me roughly $80). He told me my system is overqualified to play POE.

I just want some answer from GGG if you could give me one to enjoy POE
I really want to farm the" Lab" without worrying about this every single time

Thanks in advance

thing is that this is an issue with your computer and not poe, thats why you'll prolly get no support from GGG.

youve changed some hardware youve said, did you also reinstall windows?
Have you checked if there's any updated Drivers for your Graphics Card?

Has happened to me a few times, where whichever Drivers I'd been using were perfectly fine for nearly every game, but one or two would need up to date drivers to function properly.


I have reinstalled downgraded upgraded done everything.

OK I understand its your fault not company's
But one thing that I cannot deal with is the optimization part.
Most games that come out are optimized to general computer specs right?
My system is as general as it can be.
If you check the forum this issue has been lurking around since 2012.

I just want to know what kind of issue makes my computer react like this.
If its my computer that's causing the problem (and its not just me) which part?
I know GGG can't give full solution but they should at least tell me where the highest possibilities are to resolve this issue.

So, because this is a free game GGG can ignore this?
Well GGG has every right to look into a matter which prevents a player playing the game.
It's impossible for GGG to look into it when you have provided absolutely none of the information that would be needed.

What is your OS?
What is your CPU?
What is your GPU?
What is the version number of your display dirver?
What is the version numbers for your DirectX?
aim7811, if you are lucky you may stop getting those issues with the Prophecy patch in 4 days since GGG said they did some improvements including something similar to what you describe that apparently was affecting mostly people using 32bits.
Post your spec if you want help.
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

this issue is not lurking around since 2012, its a common error when you have problems with your gfx card or drivers. you will find people reporting this issue in every forum of kinda any pc game you can think of.

basic troubleshooting would be upgrade or downgrade drivers, try another gfx card, fiddle with gfx settings etc and other stuff like timeout detection, clocking, more gpu power..

or check out the logfiles and event viewer if theres anything else mentioned.

and yeah as mentioned before, post specs and more details or noone will every be able to help you.

Well I have posted everything in other thread but to make you more easy to find
Here are my specs
CPU: Core i7-4700MQ 2.4 GHz
Ram: 16Gb
Operating system Windows 7 64bit
ACPI x64-based PC
NVIDIA Gforce GTX765M

See anything missing?

Minimum requirements recommended by GGG
Minimum:
OS: Windows XP SP3/Vista/Windows 7/8
Processor: x86-compatible 1.4GHz or faster processor
Memory: 2 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA® GeForce® 7800 GT or ATI Radeon™ X1950 Pro or better
DirectX: Version 9.0c

Hard Drive: 5 GB available space

Is there a thing I don't match?

And my driver has been up to date.
I had all Windows updated as well.
I have used MSI Afterburner to change GPU power settings and other things
And I have tried every other method that people suggested

Youre on a labtop ? Noticed the m and MQ

GTX765m and a 2.4 ghz processor is no bueno if you want to run the game fine if you ask me. Its probably to do with those.

Edit - Set your MSI afterburner to the defaults too for POE if they arent.
Harvest sucks! But look at my decked out gear two weeks in!
