Ultimatum - Crash to desktop - No error

Yep, the latest patch helped a bit as I noticed slightly lower crashing but the game definitely still does crash specifically during Ultimatum, sometimes on the very first wave, sometimes on the 4th, and so on.

I've posted on other threads about this, but this is the most relevant to my issue I have found. So here I go again. My situation is exactly the same as OPs, down to the build and MTX we are using. The only differences are our PC specs.

I have actually tried not casting BF or BB right away when the wave starts and running around a little to test. Unfortunately, it only delays the crash, it doesn't prevent it. It is difficult to say whether or not it only happens when I cast BF/BB though. Since I'm spamming the skill all the time generally. I will try to keep an eye on that and report back.

I am also currently doing a complete PoE purge from PC. Uninstall, delete all files, and reinstall. I'll report back with if that helped at all as well.

Constant crashing mostly in Ultimatum encounters but some in hideout as well. Can't even play the game at this point so disappointing.

Follow up to my last post. I did some quick testing with some different things. Unfortunately, none of them seemed to help the crashing in anyway. However, do keep in mind that this was a small round of testing done quickly. So they aren't exhaustive by any means. All of these tests were done in the context of being in an active Ultimatum.

I first did a completely fresh install. I purged everything PoE from my computer, then reinstalled. I then picked four different maps, alched them, and started running them with no changes. The first two worked with no crashed, the last two both crashed. In all instances of those maps I was casting BF when the game crashed.

So I decided maybe it was the MTX, not the skill itself. I removed the MTX from both BF and BB. Took the same four maps I had just run, alched them, and tried again. Unfortunately, I crashed on the first map. Double unfortunately I did crashed while I was simply walking to a circle, no skills. I kept testing without the MTX though just to be sure.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like there's an obvious work around. I'll post the results below, but it does seems like an even 50/50 split on crashing. Which is quite comical given the league theme...

MTX on skills:
Jungle Valley - No crash
Vaal Pyramid - No crash
Canyon - Crash (casting BF)
Carcass - Crash (casting BF)

MTX Off skills:
Jungle Valley - Crash (not casting BF or BB)
Vaal Pyramid - No crash
Canyon - Crash (Casting BF)
Carcass - No crash

back to crashing full force now, almost every ultimatum. not just at the beginning of it, can happen in the middle as well. same quick exit to desktop, no message. extremely frustrating now, bought a very high-end PC before this league to enjoy this game. seen this exact description from all kinds of setups though, amd/intel/nvidia.

no response from GGG in any of the many very similar forum/reddit posts. disappointing.

Add me to this crash fest.

same here.....

same for me after yesterday patch. Crashing everytime I do Ultimamtum. Same exact issue. I am playing Elemental Hit Raider.

Same exact thing here, I am playing Poison Blade Vortex Assasin. Im hoping they can figure this thing out soon and fix it, as this league mechanic is really fun when you can stay in it.

Playing HoaG and thx GGG for no reply, really nice to do nothing about a bug like that, we dont play in Ultimatum league but we are playing in standard league atm.
