Crash during final(?) malachai fight
|
It's the fight that occurs after he stabs piety and you chase him down the hole in the middle of the arena. Originally, this fight blue screened my computer twice and forced me to give up. I reinstalled PoE a couple days later, and now the fight just crashes PoE. It happens probably about 30 seconds in to the fight or so. Not sure if there's anything specific triggering it. I've tried turning down a bunch of video settings, outside of that I'm not sure what else to try. Any ideas?

More hardware gaming rig details needed please. Start with your computer specs. Be specific what GPU and GPU driver you are running. For example, I started Dec. 2012 on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, Intel 660 cpu, 4 GB ram, ATI HD6870 with Catalyst driver. Today I run same Windows 7 Pro with Xeon 870 @ 3.5 GHz, 8 GB ram, and AMD R9 270oc gpu with latest Crimson driver. Running 32-bit PoE DirectX 9 standalone version (non-Steam). So far no PoE crashes in 5 years other than the usual "unexpected disconnect" from the Dallas realm.
Always keep background apps to bare minimum, I only run Eset NOD32 v9 anti-virus, SpyBot service, and Internet browser while PoE is running. Always keep services that load and run at Windows startup to as few as possible. Run MSCONFIG and turn off anything not required to run Windows to see if there is something that conflicts with PoE. It should be obvious but it is worth repeating that you should religiously run TDSSKILLER and/or MalwareBytes AR to make sure your Windows is not root kit infected. Same for anti-malware utils. Windows has to be running stable to expect PoE (or any other game) to run stable. "You've got to grind, grind, grind at that grindstone..."
Necessity may be the mother of invention, but poor QoP in PoE is the father of frustration. The perfect solution to fix Trade Chat: www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2247070 |

Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
Intel i5 3570k @ 3.4 ghz GeForce GTX 560 Ti I'm also playing PoE standalone version on DX9 PoE ran fine up until the malachai fight and it consistently crashes out at roughly the same time every time I attempt the fight. I also know that my system was previously able to do the fight as I have an old witch who has completed normal difficulty. I also have no issues with any other video game I play so this is definitely a very specific issue. |

Maybe some kind of corruption in the PoE database file? How to run a Pack Check

Pack Check found no errors. Video drivers updated to most recent. Still crashing during malachai fight =(
Oddly the game just crashed in lioneye's watch on cruel after I finally just chose to play through the crashes and was able to kill malachai... But until going in to his fight the game doesn't crash at all. It ultimately progressed to crashing within a minute of starting to play the game. Something really odd is at work here =\ |
