Technical Support (Path of Exile 1) - Crashes, 5700 XT AMD Issue? - Forum

Basically every time you would see some new effect/skill/location/mts for the first time, you can expect fps drop, next encounter with such effect will no longer will be choppy. Quick question, does the cache get rebuilt every session, so for someone like me who plays 30 minutes at a time it would never really get better? Or is it that we play, stutter every time we encounter something new then it will be fine for the rest of the season once we've seen everything? My assumption is that cache is not persistent thus needs to be rebuilt after every restart?

My assumption is that cache is not persistent thus needs to be rebuilt after every restart? If you are using the cache enabled (default option), the cache is saved, so restarting the game will not make you start from scratch. (it is persistent) If you use cache disabled option, then it is regenerated each time you start the game. If you have furhter question about the workaround, please post them here, so we have those on one place.

To bad, didn't work at all. Heading directly to Crossroads ACT II - collecting organs and as soon as you can barely read "Show Tane..." Blackscreen - CTD. DxDiag send by PM. :-/	Posted by Sethu#2292 on Dec 18, 2019, 12:19:57 PM Quote this Post

I have been lurking the AMD subreddit and have not seen any mentions of Path specifically. But there are threads over the last few days where people are stating similar issues. Black screen that results in having to reboot the whole PC. Starting to wonder if this is more of an AMD side thing? But weird since I have not been having issues in any other game so far.

I have been having this exact same issue since the patch then tane shows up instant crash. I have an r900 series graphics card.	Posted by jwinn35#3685 on Dec 18, 2019, 1:42:33 PM Quote this Post
Riverways A6 and Ashen Fields & Northern Forest A7 still crash, it´s a similar tileset, so it might have something to do with that. Will report further crashes if they happen. Last edited by Ygidua#3074 on Dec 18, 2019, 2:58:41 PM	Posted by Ygidua#3074 on Dec 18, 2019, 2:43:31 PM Quote this Post
