Color flashes in pyrimid/waterfall cave
|
Sometimes, my screen will start flashing large amounts of color. Usually shortly afterward, the game will crash. It's definitely a bug with the skeleton's weapons rendering (because it moves as I do, sign of 3-D models changing).
Happen to anyone else? Last edited by laian#4700 on Jun 11, 2012, 3:00:26 PM

similar to what I describe there? (with picture)
http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/34925/page/1#p485050 Happened twice to me, seem to be somehow bound to party play and cave dungeons, but here I cant see a cause from skeletons: there are no in the graveyard cave I noticed it first. invited by timer @ 10.12.2011 -- deutsche Community: www.exiled.eu & ts.exiled.eu Last edited by Mr_Cee#0334 on Jun 11, 2012, 5:23:51 PM

This looks like overheating, but it could also be caused by a specific combination of monsters, players, or objects in the level - If you can get a /debug F8 screenshot, and check your card temperature next time this happens, that'll help us figure it out!

I wish I could have gotten you a debug, I'll do what I can. Here's what happened to me. I don't think it was overheating as it's extremely rare I crash on this laptop. Never had one crash in PoE in probably 30 hours I've played it.
I finally got the complete amulet from the 3 trouble makers and went to the top of the pyramid. Activated the altar, and the door opened. Used it to go back to Twilight Strand. There's where all this happened. http://i.imgur.com/JGrfz.jpg http://i.imgur.com/iWPS8.jpg http://i.imgur.com/3Hhrw.jpg I finally beat Hillock. Was funny he looked like he was swinging a humongous artiacting poly at me.. Made it to Encampment, figured loading another level might fix it. Nope. So I logged out and logged back in (didn't quit) to see if that would help. The game crashed outright after that with the Windows message about it crsahing. I restarted the game and it was fine after that. The only other thing I can give you is the Client log when all this happened.. it's below.

I have the debug informations included in the picture at the other thread; and my GPU temperature is never higher then ~70°C (with closed case, measured with MSI Afterburner OSD) which should be ok, and which never crashed the game beside this rare times.
-I never had it happen when playing alone, but never see influences of party play on the GPU temp. -it happened just at the entrance of an area, when I dont expect actvity causing GPU heat, and its instantly gone when I leave the area - even if it seem to crash the client shortly after. -as longer as I think about the two situations, laian may be right: screenshot is from church (where are skeletons), and the first appearance may have been in the waterfall caves (and not at the Graveyard Cave I thought to remember first) - also an area homing skeletons... invited by timer @ 10.12.2011 -- deutsche Community: www.exiled.eu & ts.exiled.eu Last edited by Mr_Cee#0334 on Jun 12, 2012, 9:36:39 AM

How often do you faced that situation(s)?
Twice on my side, but I havent played in a party that much, lately - and I never run into it alone. invited by timer @ 10.12.2011

I game on this laptop all the time, I can't remember the last time i've had a crash or artifacting. Not saying it's not possible this was heat related, but it was a little coincidental that it happened to be moving to a new area after finishing ACT II that started it off.
After it finally crashed I restarted the game and jumped back in, everything was fine after that. | |

I got similar issues, also with sprites/minimap disappearing and large white areas. This however wasn't due to overheating (it doesn't get any warmer than 65C). I figured it might be a problem with things loading into memory. It usually happens to me when playing for a long time, so memory might be quite fragmented.
Don't read my signature!
