Scorching Ray Totems here. Ungodly amount of crashes while leveling. In maps especially 'Waterways' is really bad.

After some experiments this seemed to help:

Options>Graphics>Advanced Settings>Engine Multithreading>Disabled(Not recommended)

I have not encountered a crash after applying this fix, thanks! albeit the game doesn't run as smoothly, but at least it runs.

Feels weird having to use a channel skill in short burst just so the darn game doesn't crash, I'd swap it out but I don't have flame wall leveled.

Need a fix soon please.

Same problem here, non stop crashes started happening as soon as I started using scorching ray, please fix!

Also crashing using scorching ray. Some kind of official response from GGG would be extremely helpful. I have given up levelling for now. Was really looking forward to buying a scourge supporter pack but with chat linking issues plus now a very common spell causing random DC to desktop with no warning losing heaps of time in lost progression....


Please help!

My game crashed 3 times at the Karui boss, who uses Scorching ray too.

Same thing. I was playing Poisonous Concoction - only 1 crash until level 45. I decided to reroll and had like 20 crashes since, using Scorching Ray.

Experiencing same error with scorching ray, with and without MTX, mainly cast with balefire unique item as source. Seems to happen mostly while channeling and spinning in a circle.

Edit1: I'll add to the report that since I enchanted my helmet with 15% increased scorching ray beam length, the crashes became much more frequent.

Yeah there is some bug with Scorching ray, if you use it too long it crashes the game with no error messages etc.

Atleast its on their known issue list. This is a pretty build breaking bug though. as RF I rely on Scorching ray alot for single target DPS.

Patch is out, hopefully we're good to go now.
