Crashing, crashing and more crashing since 3.3

Aye.
I crashed 4 times on launch night. Today I've crashed one more, and disconnected to login 5 more times.

Also, is anyone here NOT running arc traps or arc mines? I wonder if its related to some memory leak with traps or something.

Nope. I've been crashing on my MS Marauder in Incursion and on my TS Deadeye in Standard.

I crash every 5-10 minutes today, and I'd never crashed in any patches prior to 3.3

also, I am not using traps or arc

I can sit in my hideout for 4-5 minutes and it will just crash with no warning besides a freeze

Another 6 times today.. 2 in act 7, 4 in temple.
Isn't very fun to play atm :(

I have had constant crashing since the start of this league as well. It's totally unpredictable and I can't see much of a pattern as to why, when or how it happens, it simply happens. Everything freezes and the "has stopped working" window instantly pops up. I am then put into town and I need to run back or I'm punted out of the map I'm currently in, which is always a fun way to lose portals. I don't think I can continue playing until this is fixed.

UPDATE: I updated my drivers (GTX 970) and changed directx to "auto" and stopped running incursions and haven't had any problems yet. I've "eliminated" maps themselves, the hideout, mines, the gppk file, and overheating as potential causes. I haven't used any prophecies at all this league so that also isn't specifically causing my crashes (I'm aware of some crash with monstrous treasure, that isn't the cause of my crash issue).

I'll start running incursions again soon to see if that causes any more crashes, I have a feeling it's either driver or incursion related. If incursion doesn't cause crashing I'll try changing the settings back to DX11.

Also, there is a known issue with elemental hit and multistrike - so don't do that.

I don't think it could be drivers solely because I have the most recent ones according to Nvidia, on my 1070

I checked my drivers. Only the sound-driver wasn`t the newest. After updating it, the problem seems to be fixed.

We can definitely exclude incursions, since i'm concerned by the problem, and exclusively play in Standard.
I doubt it's driver-related either, i tried the most recent one, aswell as a very old one, with the same results.
However, some specific driver settings might be involved, aswell as some specific POE video options.

most members of our guild having disconnections and client freeze issues. it seems to be a very pervasive issue.

Hopefully they can start tracking down these bugs and get them fixed soon.

It may be (and probably is) more than one specific crash instance. For example the supposedly known crash with ele hit and multistrike which I never used. Also some users are getting a crash where they actually get an error message. In my case, I stopped running temples and made some driver changes and played for several hours with no crashes.

At the very least, people who are having problems should try playing on a new completely different character outside of maps and stop running incursions, and also try updating their drivers and change their video settings (driver to either dx9, dx11, or auto). If the crash problems go away you have a starting point to troubleshoot from, otherwise try to look for patterns in the crashing and see if you can reproduce it.
