Client Crash when Summoning Minion

Few days ago I started following the Corpsewade build

>> https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/kripp-toxic-rf

it was all good in the end-gam until yesterday my client crashes.

Weapon Set 1: No minion
Weapon Set 2: Spawn Skeletal Brute > Activate Sacrifice > Activate Cast on Minion death

using Wset 1 no problem but when I swap to Wset 2 client crashes.

Tried troubleshooting and even reinstalling the client.
Ultimately tried to use my brother's PC Ryzen 5, 36GB Ram, GTX 1660 and still the same.

What I tested to still make this work is that, I do not put +minion on weapon set 2. Then I swap to Weapon set 2 and slowly add skeltal brute 1 by 1.

Please fix this, can't play properly.
Sorry bad english

can confirm happens to me too plz fix

Edit Did Testing

Logging to Char select while in Hideout or first login with non-minion weapon set out and then logging in resets to the start of repeatable steps to crash.

Steps

Weapon swap to summon brutes. 3-4 were tested will crash to desktop windows 11

Relogging will place you in hideout with minion set equipped and minions summoned. Weapon swapping from here does not crash in hideout.

Things that did not affect crashing

-What weapon set minions are on (swapped sets around 1-2)
-Support gems (with and without same crash)
-Type of minion (changed from brutes to others)
-Removing shield from minion set
-Changing base type of scepter in main hand

Things that stopped crash

Remove scepter from weapon set 2 in inventory UI and put it back on even w/o swapping. Game will not crash on weapon swap.

Do you both have ryzen CPUs?

Please get back to me if you do. Might be very easy fix.
I do not im on intel 13700k
Also have a similar problem here.

My set 2 is:

Cast on minion death - ball lightning - overcharge - contagion

as well as sacrifice/skeletal brute.

i didn't start having problems until i added cast on minion death, but almost always when i first weapon swap it crashes me.

If I relog I'll be in set 2 and then it's usually fine, but if i idle for a while in set 1 and then swap back to 2 it'll crash me again.

Same issue here. Hope theyll fix this soon, literally cant play this char.
Since the game is down now for a patch and they're (allegedly) fixing a lot of crashes, this might not be an issue anymore when it comes back, but thanks to Skadoosh (who is largely the person that invented this build) I have found a temporary fix.

Move Cast on Minion Death to the very bottom of your skill menu (the g menu where you slot skill gems).

That fixed the crashes for me for some reason.
After patch this is still happening to me.
Same crashes here
Same problem. Crash on the map if I switch to minions on the second weapon, when I don't have enough spirit on the first one. Doesn't crash in HO. Didn't crash before the patch.

UPD:
Changed the skeleton cleric to a skeleton warrior and moved it to another place in the skills list. Stopped crashing.

UPD2:
And it started crashing again.
