REPOSTING HERE:Forced DC in valdo's rest - 100% deli + beyond + diplomatic escort

REPOSTING HERE BECAUSE I WAITING OVER 2 WEEKS FOR AN ANSWER IN TECH SUPPORT


I'm having consistent crashes on Valdo's Rest Canyon with a fully juiced fractured map (which costs a large investment of time and resources btw), in 100% delirium with beyond mod and atlas passive "Diplomatic Escort" and it's ripping all my portals, effectively just becoming an expensive aneurism 3ex at a time. I've done the research, I've seen every thread on this, I've done everything on my end that I could to fix the problem including;
switching between vulkan and dx11
disabling resource hogging sounds in the setttings file directly
Lowering all my graphics settings to the lowest
disabling windows gamestation or whatever its called
fullscreen windowed, windowed, fullscreen
disable all mtx
close EVERY OTHER NON-ESSENSIAL PROCESS
prayed to multiple dieties (and I'm a staunch atheist)
i'm even playing on 800x600 like its 1998...
and just as a personal aside, each of these tests dont come cheap...5 deli orbs, scarabs, zana beyond, my sanity AND THATS ON TOP OF the 20-30ex investment ive already made for the watchstones in that region (which cant be used elsewhere in case diplomatic escort is the issue).

IF IT MATTERS (people have been theorycrafting possible causes)
I'm playing self-curse bv occy, explode chest, HOA, and (starting today) not using any mtx. Again, canyon 15 fully juiced, as soon as i run into the diplomatic pack, its a dead portal and loss of loot. I spent all this time to get to THIS point and now i cant play. I sold everything to fund this project so if this doesnt become profitable, I'm effectively cut out from the content I want to play and will probably quit and ask for a refund (I had JUST paid for a supporter pack).

let me know if i need to provide anything else, thanks. this is really really upsetting and im desperate...



To specify what the problem is:
People are running a very specific map farm and when they engage the high density diplomatic harbinger pack (with a bunch of other mechanics piled on), they dc to login-screen (sometimes crash to desktop).

I suggested in my personal post that the gametesters can try to replicate the problem in-house to see if its hardware/software related. In case you pass on the info:

= The Set-up =

THE MAP (this is usually fractured off a master map for an expensive cost): approx 1.6-2 exalted per.
Canyon Tier 15
sextants not consumed
100% deli (i used scarabs, some people go breach, both cause the issue)
Blight in area
elder influenced
occupied by X (elder guardian)
25-30% more rare monsters / nemesis (we usually have this fractured on there)
random mods depending on your build

The Fragments (any tier, i used gilded for all): approx 20-50chaos per set
Harbinger Scarab
Breach Scarab
Metamorph Scarab
Legion Scarab

The Atlas Passives (we are in Canyon so its Valdo's Rest):
take the path to Diplomatic Escort (we suspect this is a large contributing culprit)
none of the rest really matters (since its not affecting mob density/adding another mechanic to the map), but for consistency's sake, most of us take the metamorph nodes since we have the blight enchanted on the map itself.

Area Watchstones (and sextants, awakened or otherwise): approx 18-25 exalted total
Auspicious Titanium x1
Laden Titanium x3 (t2-t1)
Hunted Traitors
Nemesis Monsters drop Additional Currency
Unique bosses accompanied by harbinger/harbingers drop basic currency
beyond

Map Activation (zana): 10c + red master mission
Beyond Zana mod (+15% beyond chance)
Alva Master Mission

THE BUILD:
This category is kind of varied and I don't have much evidence of other builds this is happening to, but that isnt to confirm or deny that it doesnt happen to other builds. again, for consistency's sake, im just trying to narrow down our parameters. I DO know, though, that self-curse occultists using blade vortex and some sort of instant proliferation (explode mod/herald of ice/herald of fire/etc) doing this map set-up WILL HAVE THE DC/CRASH when engaging the diplomatic harbinger pack.
My Character (though you can reference much better builds than mine):
https://poe.ninja/challenge/builds/char/methSifu/SelfPoisonBVMetaSlave?i=1&search=class%3DOccultist%2CAscendant%26name%3Dselfpoi

Triggering the offending event:
Like stated before, most of the times, the DC/crash is triggered by engaging the diplomatic harbinger pack or any grouping of multiple harbinger packs at once in a small area. It has been known to occur when you engage a harbinger pack WHILE youre doing a legion encounter.

Community (and personal) evaluation:
The combination of multiple layers of systems, as well as a multitude of calculations happening at once, cause a server-side overload to a disconnect (why DC to login is more common than crash to desktop). The issue we feel, is that when a harbinger pack is engaged by the player and they start to die and spawn in, there is also beyond which creates another layer of calculation. on top of this, the pack is reinforced with diplomatic, so theres a full screen of this happening. ON TOP OF THIS, we have delirium, a system notorious for hogging resources. AND THEEEENNNNNNNN, we also have multiple "areas/zones" within the map since we include Alva master missions (the engine has to create this zone when the map is made, im not positive, but i believe its always "existing/rendering" while youre in the map, regardless if youre in the incursion or not), as well as a blight encounter AND everythign is influenced by the elder (and occupied, another zone in the same map). Basically, while things are instantly spawning en-mass, we're also doing insane aoe damage to everything at once (with instant proliferation type abilities listed before), killing things instantly as they spawn in, which instantly triggers the beyond/harbi calculations to spawn stuff instantly back in, which instantly die to big aoe damage thats instantly proliferated throughout the pack, and so on and so on till the forced disconnect.


thanks for your time.
