Hi, in a effort to collect all the crashreports alot of us are experiencing, i thought i'd post every thread i can on the subject here so GGG have it all in one place. If you are experiencing this issue please post here and help me add threads on the subject that i might have missed. This is NOT a local issue, everything was fine pre v3.5.

The crash sometimes comes with a "Unable to create index buffer" message or "failed to uncompress textures" and error: -2005270523 and looks like this:



Please include your DxDiag, either in a spoiler tag or link.

I'll update this as i can.

On WINE, here. wine-staging 3.18, NVIDIA 396.54.09 (need it for dxvk) with Windows 7 compatibility (the default). I've tried --noasync, --waitforpreload, and --garbage-generations 1. I've tried switching between regular dx9 and dx9ex. I've been playing since Sacrifice of the Vaal, so I know it works. :) I'm using the 64-bit client.

Finding this:

0032:err:d3d:wined3d_resource_allocate_sysmem Failed to allocate system memory.
0032:fixme:d3dx:D3DXCreateTextureFromFileInMemoryEx Texture creation failed.

Memory leak? Would explain why it is better with --garbage-generations 1 and gets worse the more you switch zones. Also explains why it's so hard for them to find and fix.

ETA: I was trying to get it to crash, and I can do it by alt-tabbing often (like every 5 minutes), and then zone to a town.

I cannot get my DxDiag at the moment, but I started experiencing this after the patch last night. It happened twice then upon booting the game up again it was unplayable. Had to run the repair for the game, then for good measure reinstalled my Nvidia driver. I was able to launch the game again after this, but the problem soon came back.

Picture above of the error messages.

I had another crash where all my screen turned into random colors and locked my entire computer up. This only started happening after the patch last night PST. Computer has 0 issues when playing other games as of now too.
Hi there, let me begin by saying i have 0 knowledge about pc's and all this kind of stuff but after 3 days of crashes and more crashes i finally found the solution; it's very simple, few steps and 100% works:

Control panel
System
Advanced system settings(left side of the window)
Advanced tab
under Performance click Settings
Advanced tab
under Virtual memory click change
Tick the Autmoatically manage paging file size for all drivers
Click ok and then restart.

I hope i helped, i literally crashed every 5 minutes of gameplay, did that and boom, everything works wonders now. Have a good day!
Hi guys, thx for your input! Hopefully by joining together on this we can find a solution!

Another thing that seems to help me (I played for 4-5 hours between two days without a crash) was to delete the shader caches in the Path of Exile installation directory. I had one crash today with the multiple texture uncompression errors, but it was after a good 2 hours of playing.
