3.13 crashing and other bugs

I am constantly crashing on entering a portal or tp to another area. It is so frustrating to loose portals like this.

Path of crash

I have been crashing randomly wherever - heist, hideout, even while afk

It just freezes for a bit, then quits the game.

Happened about 6-8 times now

I just got a really nice Freeze/Crash on my 2nd toons' 1st Lab attempt:



I really hope this doesn't keep occuring bc my toon needs to progress, not be set back!

things I've experienced since 3.13

1.game not only lagging but literally stopping for 12 seconds while using cyclone im spinning and spinning the monsters just stand around like stupid(not on lockstep)every hit missing even with resolute tech

2.the monsters in rituals stand on the outer edge of the circle and then blend into the background so i have to waste time trying to find them(not a big deal just annoying)

3.GAME LITTERALLY CLOSES ITSELF like really it alt f4s itself closing completely no path of exile exe has stopped working or anything just bloop closes

4.loading instances takes 35 seconds(I've timed it via stop watch ) and while loading in the monsters are invisible for that time

5.attacking with anything fast? yeah forget that cause the animations dont show up till 2 seconds later

please GGG i love your game i know youll fix it but please for the love of kitava please listen to your community!!!!

Started getting crashes today, seem to occur when I'm tabbed out.
Yesterday just before I stopped playing I tried switching from DX11 to vulkan to see if it would help with the lag. I didn't see much difference and since vulkan uses more RAM I switched back to DX11 and went to bed. Then when I started the game today it would just randomly close after 10min or so when I was tabbed out, no error message or anything.
I tried switching it to vulkan again and have had no crashes for the last couple of hours.
The thing is, DX11 was working just fine before I switched so I don't really get it.

Edit: I just remembered that windows updated during the night which might also be a factor.

Edit2: It has now started to crash on vulkan as well.

That has been my experience as well, I have been on vulkan for a while and tried dx11 the other day, crashed within 10 minutes. Love this league but the crashes has sapped all of my interest in playing. I'll try again after the next patch. I can't imagine what they changed that would be causing all this, I used to NEVER crash.

Switched from Vulkan to Dx11 and no more crashes since

Started crashing every few minutes today, was there a stealth patch?

Crashing quite a bit today. Have tried to ascend 3 times and at some point in the lab before i can finish it crashes. It's really bad. I don't know how many times i'll try before i just give up.

Okay, so not sure if this will help but I decided to look at the event viewer after doing a clean install on my pc last night to see if it helps. Sadly it didn't but the event viewer showed that the Win10 Xbox Gaming Bar was failing to connect to server at the exact instances that PoE crashed. I've disabled the gaming bar in the settings for now and hopefully this will help. Will update if I crash again otherwise it might honestly just be that.
