There is a new display option to reduce the texture size - This should greatly reduce the chance of getting this error.

Other than turning your texture quality down, there isn't much that can be done yet, sorry!

How can i turn the texture quality down when i cant get into the game. Theres no options button on the launcher.


If you go into My Documents/My Games/Path of Exile/production_Config.ini and open it in notepad, you can change the texture_quality setting under the DISPLAY section to look like this: texture_quality=1

Would you be able to post your system specs, Yomenta? To be clear, this happens after you click the "Launch" button?

Try the Pack Check, you may be able to avoid downloading the game again that way!

i have errors like this in different areas some times.
i have same client on another PC`s i just reinstall windows some days ago, and now have this errors. so if i have ok playing with this client on old windows, problem is with my drivers or smth like that? but what i need to install or upgrade to fix this errors?


Hey there,

Can you please try the following:
This usually occurs when your game file runs out of ram, common on PCs with low ram or running 32bit versions of windows. Running the game with Texture Quality set to Medium usually fixes this, though having less than 4gb of ram will cause problems after changing areas a number of times. We will improve the memory recovery system in future.
You can also reduce the rate of these crashes slightly by adding -gc 2 to the end of your Path of Exile shortcut target, as shown here: http://i.imgur.com/UYl4uhB.png
