After patch 3.18.0d my game crashes at EVERY Blighted map (sometimes 2-3 times a map!) and at Blight encounters on regular maps (once in a 2 maps). Game closes to desktop without any error messages when I interact with a random tower in the middle of the fight.

Blight was OK since the league start and till 3.18.0d.

Please fix Blight maps, they are just impossible to play now.

I think I've experienced this on and off for at least 3 leagues now.

I don't play Blight outside of random encounters in Maps, but every once in a while, my game will crash to desktop, no error message, INSTANT CLOSE, not even a hang, as I attempt to upgrade a tower.

I've lost many a Blight since this started happening and it's ridiculous that it's still going on.

SMH

"Rare client crash which can happen during Blight encounters." they said...

That "Rare" client crash, crash my game every 3rd or 4th map with Blight encounter... RARE, riiiight!

happens quite often for me aswell.
right now twice in a row from same encounter when hovering or clicking build button.

yep still in game, 2 blight ravaged maps, 2 crashes(rare btw) when i try to build a tower,wasted maps and bunch of oil....ty, and i heard monsters supposed to stop when you not in a map, but apparently its not, when i gone to build tower monsters were no where near the pump, but when relaunched game and came back to map, pump was 4\20 and boss was 2 feet away from it. so towers do disable when player is not nearby, but monsters dont stop even when there is no player in a map. brilliant.

This happens to me very often. Its rare when a map dont crash to desktop.

Sad, because its the most fun mechanics in the game for me. But instead of having fun, you get frustrated because you can lose the map when it crashes.

not sure if they fixed it or not, but if not, for me atleast it seems like problem was in RAM, i only have 8gb so when my ram reach about 95% i get crash whenever i was using towers.
so i tried to use Mem Reduct and i put it to clear memory whenever it reach 90%, dont want to jinx it but since then i have not had a single crash. and btw when i tried setting to clear at 95% at first, i was getting crashes before it could clear memory, dunno why but it was crashing after 90%.

edit: nvm lul :D just had a crash before 90% when i tried to build a tower, so no idea what is causing it afterall. for now looks like the only way to play blight is having enough dps to not rely on towers at all :/

I crash constantly in blighted maps as well, usually when trying to upgrade towers.

I crash about 2 times per blighted map.

GGG, please take some time to fix this, crashing in blight has been an ongoing issue since it first came out :(

Can't play any blight content either, the game crashes at some point. In rare cases, I'm able to finish the encounter, but mostly, it just crashes to desktop.

At first, I thought it had to do with the amount of monsters and applied poison stacks, but given that I was able to run an entire blighted map later on without issues, this seems unlikely. I'm also able to run similar amounts of monsters in other content just fine.

On a separate notice, the game has ever increasing RAM allocation as well. I have to restart it every few hours once processes reach my full 16GB system capacity. The PoE process alone is using ~12GB at that point. If I don't restart, the game begins to micro stutter like hell (my best guess is it shuffles assets to hard drive). By comparison, starting the game, it uses ~4GB of RAM. This is NOT related to the blight issue, but something's wrong here, too.

"Fixed" they said, yet for the past three Leagues I've had issues with the game client crashing to Desktop. This ONLY happens when I'm trying to set up a tower, and it doesn't always happen. It often results in the blight being failed which is extremely frustrating. It also rarely happens in blighted/blight ravaged maps too.
