The Game suffers from Multiple Crash Bugs Yet GGG Is Silent

There are also posts in steam forums/discussions about this thought i think they are less organized in terms of categorization. I would also say reddit but they operate with upvote/downvote and you know what that means for negative press

If they haven’t responded in detail by now I doubt they will. They got the money already and have shown that’s all they care about.

A patch will likely be deployed early next year and one of its notes will state:

“Fixed an issue where the game crashes during loading screens and requires a full PC restart”

The issue will likely still persist for some users and there will be continued radio silence.

This is the last week before game studios go on Christmas vacation so I’d expect this to linger into 2025.

Honestly the last crash I experienced I thought it fully bricked my pc. Upon rebooting I had no video out put and needed a few resets to let it come back. My pc was built 3 weeks ago with a 9800X3D and 4080 super. I have uninstalled and will not be loading this game on my pc until they announce a fix. Until then, I have a laptop and I can afford to buy it on console so I may wind up doing that cause I truly do enjoy this game a lot

Maybe we should e-mail Blizzard's marketing director or something.

I'm new to the PoE series and I'm a bit frustrated by this. I decided to drop 30 bucks on a whim to see how this game was and initially my thoughts were positive. I was intrigued by the skill system and I enjoyed the up in difficulty compared to a certain competitor to this game.

Then the hard crashes started happening. The first time I shrugged it off, thinking it was just a one time spoof, but once the 4th or 5th time happened, I decided I need to stop playing for the time being until it's fixed over concern for my system. I am dying to get back in though and am actually put off with how this is being handled.

I haven't logged in for two days because of this and I created this account here primarily to express this. To someone like me, it's as if you released something at a sufficient price point for yourselves and decided to take the weekend off. You haven't even mentioned it... what are you, Blizzard?

I understand this is an early access title. Most games that 'release' now days seem to be that way, unfortunately, and all put on the shoulders of the consumer. However, a system hard crash that is not only running rampant in the PC community, but also the PS5 it seems by looking at your other forums, that isn't really acceptable in my opinion. A freeze or a simple crash where you can just close out and reload - sure, I could see how that may happen in early access, but this is an entire system power down, power on issue that is being handled thus far in extremely poor taste.

From looking around at the forums and seeing the community desperately trying to troubleshoot and find ways to play your game shows that they really care about what you've created and not communicating with them is a dishonor to them. They shouldn't be having to updating their bios, uninstalling updates, downloading other programs, just to play a game you've charged a premium for.

After all this, I do hope you guys are able to turn this around because what you have here is actually fun and interesting. But ultimately that's on you to not follow the poor examples made by your competitor.

Thank you for taking time out of your day to read this.

reinstall windows to 23h2, this happened to me couple months ago on poe1

They're pissing me off. I sent the DX diag info.. No reply. I sent them messages here and from my email, but there was nothing in return in either place. I paid 30 dollars for early access.. I haven't been able to play it since I got to Act 2 without crashing within the first 5 minutes of loading the map.

I never installed 23h2...

Also the problem is complete radio silence on GGG's side.

btw i think its more accurate to say that Hard crashing and POE 2 Complete PC Freeze were created december 6 at 8PM and 9PM Eeastern ST respectively which were couple hours after launch.

We just lost another one:

And now, after the last crash, my laptop won’t start even after many hard resets. The keyboard lights up but the screen won’t turn on. It shuts down after a minute? What can I try here?

I just looked at the forum post date. And it could have been created a day ago and it wouldn't really matter. >300 pages, >100000 views, around 3000 messages... GGG should have been keeping almost hourly contact for a blunder like this. Now people are starting to report issues like bricked PCs or faulty components (because GGG shills were downplaying the issue).

IF this was an indie game Steam would have forced it to be taken down.
