Crash on startup without fail

Is everyone here having PC crashes or is it the game crashing? Just looking for clarification - my PC is crashing.

I've tried the cache-clearing steps, the nvidia shader setting, and updating my graphics drivers and am still having the same issue.

you are not alone.

meanwhile some streamers seem to have no issue. but quite a significant amount of the playerbase are experiencing frequent crashes.

Understood; thanks for the clarification - wasn't sure whether the folks here were crashing out of the game, or effectively blue-screening as I am.

Super bummer. I realize whining won't help and this isn't the forum for it, but I feel pretty sore about this issue. I bought two supporter packs prior to this launch because I wanted to show support to the team for reworking Elementalist (since it's my favorite), and I took the day off of work to play with my buddies - it doesn't look like that's going to be an option. I realize all of those things were my choices to make, and that this bug isn't happening because GGG meant anything malicious, but this one really blows.

no harm asking at all. some people have gone through the task of uninstalling poe and reinstalling all 20 gig of it and still having the same problems.

the crux of it with poe is if it was working fine yesterday but after league launch its giving you problems, then its the game itself, not your system.

i am getting the crash on entering game client myself. it feels like some sort of memory leak issue. even if i get into the client, i crash after a few seconds while still loading assets in Karui Shores (i am trying to log into standard). creating a new character doesn't work either, client crashes when i am selecting a character lol.

having same issue, game consistently crashes after staying in town for at least a minute, cannot use waypoints without crashing, Path of Exile is not responding, game itself and not my pc

reference number: 765,575,243

Absolutely the worst launch day I've ever seen. GGG should give us all free points for this embarrassment.

My PC is no longer crashing on opening the game, but it does freeze and stop responding after what seems to be a variable amount of time, but never more than 20 or so seconds after reaching the login screen. I made no changes from the time that it was pseudo-BSODing me to the time that it started freezing instead.

I managed to get lvl 40 but it seems I'm getting repeated crashes now, first happened while releasing divine ire in the mines (the game freezed while the blast was occuring then closed), getting more crashes after a few seconds when relogging in highgate since (same thing, a few seconds of freeze and then the game closes).

Log output when the divine ire crash happened :

Log output when the game crashed a few seconds after relogging in highgate :

^getting the same error each time i log in


tried to switch to directX renderer and got the same crash (freeze then returning to desktop) a few seconds after logging in highgate

log output from my DirectX attempt :

Had similar crashes earlier while using waypoints but was able to continue after a few tries.

Thanks for looking into this, Ritual is a treat !

I'm also having the same problems. Have tried the suggestions in this thread but non have helped. It doesn't seem to matter what screen I'm (character selection, login, character creation etc), it just crashes after ~10-15secs.

I'm crashing anytime I teleport or move zones. I have an intel i7 and an RTX 3070... brand new PC, literally 3 days old.

This sucks, can't even get past Act 1.
