POE 3.20.2d is crashing repeatedly after today's patch

Getting the same error and not able to open the game as well.

For anybody getting this error... I went to the log file under the GGG/logs directory and noticed this error

2023/04/14 23:52:15 835656 55712961 [CRIT Client 15636] [EXCEPTION] Failed to init FMOD system. Error code 51

Ended up swapping my windows audio device from my headset to another speaker and was able to load the game. Hope this helps!

Same thing. Since a few days poe became unpayable for me because of crashes. Some times I could play for 3 hours, today it's 3 crashes in one hour.

i have the same issue please help, i kept randomly freezing after few hours of play time and i cant do anything the game doesnt even crash to the deskstop it just froze and i cant even end task or bring up my task manager, the only way is to force restart my pc.


If anyone know a fix please let us know!

Hi guys! I fixed it for myself. So here's what you need to do:

1. Turn off Solar paladin portal effect.

Enjoy!

This crash wasn't fixed with 3.21.0c Hotfix 3
My PC rebooted immediately after loading to the world

Also donno if it helps but i get small Exception message saying

vk::Device::waitForFences: ErrorDeviceLost

In case you guys want to fix it this should be related to audio. I moved all audio sliders to the left and have 0 crashed in 3 days.
