AMD graphics - they want us to rollback to september?

I'm on 25.12.1 with a 9070XT and it's completely unplayable. Can't even change the renderer without crashing. I'm also not gonna roll back drivers just because they release a broken game, I guess I'll be playing something else. What a joke.

fix this loading is fucking slow

Welp…wake me up when PoE 2 is playable on AMD cards, I guess. Four crashes at start up and I’ve decided to just play Diablo 4 instead.

Keep getting booted from game because of this, unplayable.

What kinda worked for me is changing renderer from Vulkan to DirectX 12.

If you get crashes while changing it in-game, just close it and do it manually by editing configuration file "poe2_production_Config.ini"

It is located in "Documents\My Games\Path of Exile 2".

Open this .ini file with a text editor find the line "renderer_type=Vulkan"and change the value to "renderer_type=DirectX12"

Thank you for the attempt, i however already have it set to DX12.

For me the Crashes aren't too bad BUT the screen kinda keeps stuttering as if I'm playing at 10 fps despite the number saying its ~100 fps (which is also very low for my overpowered AMD card). This really sucks and should be getting more attention. They can't just push an update and neglect anyone who dares to update their AMD drivers.

happen to me too just upgrade my GPU just for poe2 yesterday and then unable to play i cant even create character

Really? The latest AMD version is 25.12.1. Do you plan to roll back?
My plan: no. If I encounter technical issues: uninstall POE2.

The message appears after installing patch 0.4:

“UNSTABLE DRIVER VERSION DETECTED
This driver version can cause very long loading screens, please update your driver to a version outside of range: Adrenalin 25.10.2 – Adrenalin 25.12.1.”

All you need to do is go to my docs>my games> Path of Exile 2> poe2_production_Config and change the renderer to = DirectX12
