RTX 5090 Black screen and fan goes to max.

One last update for today, because when facing a technical issue i tend to go into full on obsession mode and will forget grass ever existed while chasing the rabbit into the abyss.

- Uninstalled PoE2, cleaned all conf folders in My Games, Appdata, Steam, etc
- Installed fresh copy of PoE2 via steam
- Downloaded Nvidia driver 566.36 #voted most stable for RTTX3K, RTX4K cards
- Booted in safe mode and ran DDU, wiped all previous nvidia drivers/configs
- Installed fresh 566.36 drivers
- Launched PoE2, once hideout loaded I hit esc and the game crashed
- I laughed out loud

Note: this issue has lasted through the past 2 recent Nvidia driver releases and both Windows 11 24H2 & Windows 11 25H2

#Update#

Changing back to Vulkan after all the above steps has allowed me to play the game unhindered now on nvidia driver 566.36. Playing at 4k Ultra/High, Reflex is off, I also Undervolted, well lazy man undervolt in Precision X1 by limiting maximum power draw some not sure if that is playing a role or not. Hope this helps someone lol, feel free to just delete it, also.

Same issue here, can't play the game with a i7 12700K + RTX 5070. Crash is so random during my session

Hey folks.

I am 5090 and 9950X3D and were having the same issues for quite a long time.
What finally helped albeit at the cost of how the game looks - in Render Resolution I went from "No Upscale 2560 x 1440" to "59% - 1506 x 848"

While the game looks considerably more grainy, I hardly ever hear my GPU fans now and I haven't had a single crash in a week while playing multiple hours a day.

Unsure if it contributes but I also set all Shadow settings to low.

Feels a bit shit to be running top of the line PC and having to do this, but I will take this over crashes any day.
