Game Crashing with party.

hi everyone. serious crashing problem

I played the entire campaign with one friend and the game ran smoothly. When I started playing in the temple with more people, my game started crashing when I got close to people using many skill effects. My PC was running at around 70% load, but as soon as I got close to them, it would freeze. After I lowered all the settings, the PC load dropped to 15-20%, but it still keeps crashing.

My PC specs:
Ryzen 9 9900x
RX 7900XTX
32GB DDR5 6000MHz RAM

windows 25H2

I've already tried:
- Increasing virtual memory in Windows.
- All drivers are updated.
- Lowered every game setting.
- Tried DirectX 12, DirectX 11, and Vulkan.
- Clearing the cache.
- Checking game files.

Nothing has worked so far. The PC only crashes in PoE 2.

Hello,

I copy / paste here, a reply that I did, related to this issue :

Sorry to hear that. Many of us own a similar AMD setup and unfortunately are facing to the same situation. Not improvements have been done at the moment for fixing this issue.

The most efficient way to avoid these crashes is to rollback on drivers flavor Adrenaline 25.9.2 available here : https://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/release-notes/RN-RAD-WIN-25-9-2.html


I hope it will improve your poe2 gaming experience.
Let's try this one.
Thank you
it, worked!
Hello,
