The game is crashing when I kill Piety in Act 4 at the end of the act.

It's happened twice in a row. I kill Piety. She's standing there and the blockage opens to go into the door on the left. As I approach that left door to move on to the final act boss, the game just hangs for 1 second and then it closes down. It's happened 2 times in a row in exactly the same way.

same
tried on different pc + different char - same =)

I've had many more crashes to report, since they are all related.

I killed the Justice god guy in Act 5, exited that boss arena to the waypoint area - and it crashed as I was walking to the waypoint in the cathedral. Reloading the game put me in the Act 5 town, so I just teleported to that waypoint and it was fine. I could go to the area that was on Fire. Kitava was no problem.

At this very moment, I just killed that fire totem boss near the beginning of Act 6 - the one where you get your very first Sin power thingy. I exited the arena to the south, and crash!

All of these crashes are related to killing some kind of boss. I don't know if it has to do with exiting the arena or if it just happens 10-15 seconds after killing the boss - there is some kind of crash happening after killing a boss.

It's definitely not related to machine specs. My GTX 1080 has been more than enough to run PoE for ages. Also, I have 32MB of Corsair RAM, so it's not that either. Running Windows 11. Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700K CPU @ 3.70GHz 3.70 GHz

I would run this game on my RTX 4070, but that computer is not wired in and is using Wifi, and the connection stinks since I am in a condo building. I always get weird ping spikes every 30 seconds and nothing I can do seems to make it stop. Using 5g and auto channel thingy - nothing works. So I just play the game on my work computer since it's wired in.

Same, bumping for exposure

same. twice on 2 different characters

I just killed brutus/shavronne. I waited a bit just to see what happened. Nothing. I left the area to move onwards with Act 6. As soon as I clicked the door to exit, it crashed.

Loading the game just booted me back to Lion's Watch.

:(

I'm going to call it quits. Too many crashes with too much backtracking.

same here

Killed another one of those fire god things in act 6 and immediately crashed as i exited the area. It's definitely tied to exiting the areas now. In basically every case. Please, GGG, fix this

Same here.

Same here. Crashed after leaving Tukohama's Fortress (not an area transition, but transition within an area) in Act 6. The same after killing Brutus/Shavronne in Prison in Act 6 - crashed on moving to the Warden's Quarters, still in the Prison area. 1s hang and then crash.

i7 13700k (with the newest Intel / mobo BIOS patch for that CPU that fixed random crashes in games for me)
