Who still can not "Ascend" and why?

I find it interesting that those who for any reason can't Ascend yet say what is the problem. Maybe that somehow GGG can do something about it...
My case, Windows 32-bit user. Impossible to complete the labyrinth because it consumes too much RAM. Without something like checkpoints in each new area or at least a time of grace than 10 minutes after a crash I'll never get the Ascension.


What is your problem?

Still leveling my character and have not yet passed the test. Feel comfortable about my laptop, less so about my own skills, I just started a week ago, and first wanted to unlock a Scion to play all acts.

I play hardcore and coped with the rest of the game just fine with my crappy pc and connection.
Now GGG essentially tells me to go fudge myself because the labyrinth is 100% death for me.

Tried the labyrinth twice. Died once to Izaro in encounter one. Once in encounter two. Neither time was I able to read the tooltips on the statues to see what they did. Do I interact with them or not? How does this work?

I plan on a laptop on wifi.

Havent playe din a year before Friday.

Just did lab last nite HC league, got carried through the key portion and still almost died about 3-4times.

Almost died once on the final boss stage as well.

Pretty cool. super annoying though.

Traps are not fun.. In any way shape or form..

I can't. I don't think I will. I can't play that long without getting vertigo.

I can ascend but i refuse too. Gating a core aspect of the game behind anything (in this case a tomb rider look alike/clone) is straight up silly.

I don't know if this will help you or not, but just in case:

When I was still using a 32 bit system, I would crash out after several maps or new instances in a row. I found a couple of things helped with that.

1) Trying to run maps with similar tile sets and textures.
2) Running "textures=5" on the PoE Config file

Doing those 2 things would let me run a few more maps before the game crashed.

The default path for the config file is under Documents>MyGames>PathofExile>

and the file name is: production_Config.ini

Open the file with Notepad and search for the string:

texture_quality=

set the number after = to 5

The game will look like a pastel claymation video, but there might be just enough memory savings to get in the 4 or 5 different tile sets of the Labyrinth.

My problem is the lab doesn't allow me to use broken mechanics like off screening and totems

GGG should totally balance the entire game for everyone based on your own personal needs
