POE 2 0.3.0b patch crashing high end pc's
So far, reducing the number of audio channels helped a little.
Vulkan and multithread changes are a no no for my PC. my setup is really good and i dont think its a hardware issue. Never happend on the previous versions. I guess i need to wait for another league to come back and play the game. Interludes on this patch made the game even better if not for this random crashes and freezes. |

My pc works flawlessly and I'm using these parts. rx7600 and Ryzen 7 7800x3d.
32gb ram. 1tb western digital black sdd. MSI pro gaming motherboard. corsair 850w psu. its built well it plays every new game i throw at it with decent overhead. My resource monitor never goes up into any range that would present any alarms to me. i am very aware of my system as i built it myself and tuned it all myself. I was able to make it all the way through the campaign this time around with no issues, when i got to around level 70 around level 2-3 maps i started getting pretty bad stuttering to where sometimes it would be kind of playable and i would try to experiment with the game settings and computer settings to try to get it to stop stuttering. i reinstalled it. I manually cleared the cache folders in the game. it was running alright last night sporadically. after reinstall and today i get on and its freezing to black screen and then after its done hanging up it comes back up with AMD error reporting saying driver time out issue. I've recreated this error time out scenario several times and from what i can tell its happening whenever I'm under intense load in maps like with an abyssal breach or some similar type of conditions. The game only runs for a short time I'd say about 30 mins then becomes unstable and starts crashing. Before this started it was stuttering and rubber banding but, not crashing. I would maybe have one here and there but it was probably due to user error certain pc settings don't agree with certain games. After AMD driver update and also windows update I'm getting hangs to black screen full driver crashes with error message saying driver timeout. Everything was fine up until those driver updates and the recent windows update that i had paused that slipped through. Now my shit is fully up to date....fuck me right? I'm going to keep on trying what i can to get it to work but its a clusterfuck right now. after the driver timeout the sound wont come back on my computer and i have to restart it. |

In my opinion, the game has a serious problem with refresh rate and frame rate. Once every three maps, I had a screen freeze, and after enabling the Smooth Motion option in the NVIDIA app, I have ZERO freezes/crashes. Smooth motion adds small input lag, so this may only be a temporary solution.

Error message: Error loading type Metadata/Items/Armours/Capes/AbyssalCape/Ab...
"Art/Models/Items/BackAttachments/AbyssalCape/rig.amd": Unable to get a number of animations That's the message I keep getting when the game crashes for me. Given it looks like an issue with the Abyssal Cape, not sure if specs are important. But, if so, please see below. Specs: Intel Ultra i9 285K Nvidia RTX 4090 Crucial 4TB SSD LG Ultrawide 3440 X 1440 @240Hz Thanks. |

" im also having exactly this bug with nvidia 4070. If this bug is detactable in game. Can we get the game to force pause? sometimes when im in this state and I hit escape the game does not pause... even when im in an instance that is pausable.

I'm running an upper mid range AMD system which can handle pretty much anything with maxed out settings at 1440p
Some maps I can literally be crashing while casting with no other mobs on the screen. I've tried switching to vulkan, limiting audio channels, drastically reducing graphics settings, limiting CPU usage to 80%. Please let me play this game :( It's borderline impossible right now |
