crashing on login screen

every time i try pic a server hit the login button or options button the client errors and the game crashes are there any fixs??

Everytime? So you have not been able to play yet?


Gonna need your hardware specification....Please Use SPECCY.


What I suspect is one of two issues.....

Creative Sound Card.
Intel GPU

and dunno y speccy is show my cam as sound car but its CMI8738/C3DX PCI Audio Device

and yes i every time i try

Try this...

RightClick the game Icon, select Properties, add the --nosound to the TARGET.

Example:

"

"E:\Program Files\Grinding Gear Games\Path of Exile\Client.exe" --nosound

But I am gonna tell you, your Videocard is over heating. Chances are your Updated your Drivers WELL past the peak point of the card. I would still be using pre 2xx.xx series drivers on that card myself.

On your SPECCY....Under FILE > Publish Snapshot ... drop that link please....DO NOT POST YOUR TEXT VERSION...it contains private information.

i can get in game no by adding the no sound

heres the link u wanted http://speccy.piriform.com/results/2rx18ymbFkuVKDsFRdH0kUQ

is there a fix i can do or any tips u have i that will be helpfull to run the game with sound ?

Only tip is to bring up your favorite Web Browser, go to iHeart.com, make an account, select a song / artist and enjoy :)

My sound works but I still like this...other than that until GGG is able to track down the issue, your soundless.


Your cam is a Creative Device. Remove it and see if your real sound card appears. If that works, It will make me think that Creative has a Service causing the issue.

I am having the exact same issues. Here is the Speccy info:

I do not own a webcam and my sound card is a third party generic model. It is a CMI8738/C3DX as listed in device manager. I am running Windows XP with an AMD CPU around 2GH and dual core with 2GB of memory.

The --nosound option does allow me to go on instead of crashing. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

EDIT:
I do have a pair of logitech gaming headphones that are USB and I plugged those in and I can play the game with sound now.
