Appcrash exception 0xc0000005

Hello,

Since around July 26, I've been unable to complete a map on POE1 without experiencing multiple crashes.
The game suddenly closes, returning to the desktop without any error messages. The error is only visible in the Windows OBS.

Error Details:

Faulting Application Name: PathOfExileSteam.exe, Version: 0.0.0.0, Timestamp: 0x687efe6c

(I can provide a report.wer)

I tried the following but without success:

- Reinstalling the game on multiple drives
- Adding the game to the Windows exceptions list
- Running the game as an administrator
- Increasing the game's memory size to unlimited
- Running the game in dx12
- Disabling overlays
- Testing several Nvidia drivers from May to July
- Major Windows
- Resetting BIOS settings
- DirectX diag (0 error)
- Memory Test (0 error)

Finally, I even did a clean reinstallation of Windows. But the crash persists.

I should point out that I don't have this problem with any other game. This error isn't new to the forums, but there's no obvious solution.

Is anyone else experiencing the same problem ? Thanks for your help.

Configuration:
RTX 2070 - drivers 577.00 07/25
5700X3D
Corsair Vengeance Pro 32GB 3600 MHz
Windows 11 Professional 24H2

Are you able to test using the standalone client, rather than Steam?

Some other tests: fullscreen vs windowed/windowed fullscreen; different characters; audio channel setting in-game; disable audio entirely (via the --nosound launch option); loot filter on/off (especially if you use custom audio for loot filter I'd think); networking mode; turn off/on mtx; change skill gems, gear, passives, atlas passives; consider other programs that may be running simultaneous to the crash (especially things that do/could interact with the screen, audio, keyboard, mouse, etc.); consider if you're possibly hitting some hotkey that's closing the game or crashing it (only while playing this game, e.g. something particular to your hand positions while playing, auto-"disconnect" script; windows-key lock could possibly help diagnose)

Currently, I dont have any other programs on my computer, following the Windows reinstallation. Just poe is launch

As for the screen, I've tried all possible resolutions. My resolution is 3440 x 1440, iv even tried in 1920x1080

I will try disabling the loot filter and all other game options, I keep you informed

EDIT: Even after trying Windowed/Fullscreen Windowed, disabling filters, playing without sound, trying all resolutions, the game continues to crash with the same exception
