Path of Exile Keeps Crashing On My High-End PC

I am having the same problem. Most of starting now in Ancestors league.

The game completely hangs my computer, screen stops, I still hear sound but nothing moves. Also my friends don't hear me in discord.

I need to hardboot my computer to get it unlocked from the hang-up.

My rig:

AMD Ryzen 5800X
G.Skill Ripjaws V 32GB DDR4
AsRock Taichi X OC RX6800 XT
MSI MAG B550
500GB + 1TB + 4TB SSD
850W Power supply

Windows 11 Home - all latest updates

I've done pretty much everything I can...

Installed PoE on all SSDs to test them, still random crashes.

Installed latest drivers for my RX 6800XT, still random crashes. I use DDU to clean old drivers

Updated BIOS.

This only happens on Path of Exile. I've been playing Diablo 4 very much, but no issues there.

It seems like only Path of Exile does this.

Same here since yesterday. Yesterday the game just crashed very often and not in gameplay but when entering a new area after a boss fight for example. In the middle of the night, they patched with a few MB and this fixed the issue for me. But now I also get hard freezes. The game just stops and it seems that no USB-ports work anymore. My screens are still working fine but my whole PC is frozen for no good reason. I also monitored my hardware temperature and so on but nothing to see there.

My specs:
i9-11900
32 GB RAM
RTX 3060
installed on SSD


This is so frustrating.
same issue. cant make a point on what its causing it tho

Another D4 refugee here with the same problem (running through steam). I played maybe 16 hours two weeks ago with no crashes, then had 3 crashes in about 8 hours today.

The most recent crash was after trying to start a heist, but previous ones were just from running around in a zone. I found the logs\Client.txt file but it doesn't seem to have anything useful. You can see the time gap between the game crashing and me reloading it 5 minutes later.

My game started crashing last night, never had issues before now just random freezes and crashes, sometimes needs full reboot, sound also freezes and loops.

Tried a bunch of different settings nothing seemed to work.

Game started locking up, and ending up at my desktop. Sometimes about a handful of times per hour, while other times I play for several hours without it crashing. This problem began maybe a few days/weeks into ancestors league? Not sure on the precise time but yea...

Please offer some assistance GGG!

I have a similar Issue, but i tracked it down a bit more, maybe it helps.

First of all my system:

Ryzen 5900x
AMD 6900xt
MSI 570 Unify
32GB Corsair CMW32GX
Corsair MP600 Pro XT SSD 2TB

I tried all 3 available graphics modes, vulkan, DX11+12.

The Issue happens on all of them since the last 2 patches:

I play the tournament in halls of the dead, starting with about 150-200 fps.
The more i play, the more FPS drop in there, and when it gets to 40 or below, the game most likely closes without error msg or logfile entry.

This was very annoying, lost a lot of valuable rewards from these crashes, but i figured out a bandaid fix, not a very good one, but "fixed" it nonetheless..
Once i see my fps dropping below 60, i finish my current round and go to my hideout.
FPS immediately resets to 150-200 and i travel to halls of the dead again, where it starts with this fps but then drops again from round to round.

I hope GGG is aware of this problem and starts on a real fix for it.

Best regards, grav0r
Im experiencing the same thing on my high-end PC, just bumping and hoping GGG to see this. Please fix it! It's annoying when you die att the ladder at the end of a heist and lose everything.
Holy hell i thought i was the only one with this annoying thing. Same problem like you all described. WOW !
For me it was when i start the map. the game crashes to desktop or it freezes when i run into the first pack of mobs. sometimes it doesn't crush but it freezing and give me a blue screen with the error : clock watchdog timeout
i thought it was something wrong with my hardware so i send the pc to the lab to check if something wrong. now when i play from my second pc ( which is very old ) i don't get freezing and blue screens but the game crushing to desktop around once per hour.
My highend pc spec :
RTX 4080
13700 intel
32GB Ram
Thought I'd mention what seemed to have resolved this issue for me. I was randomly freezing to desktop like others here have. I just changed the following:
-vsync from off to adaptive

-dx11 to dx12(beta)

triple-buffering from off to enabled

Have been going strong now for about ~7 hours no disconnect, hope this helps others!
