After playing for 10-15 minutes, the game always crashes/hangs with the following error. Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?

wine: Unhandled page fault on write access to 0x00000018 at address 0x7e32997a (thread 0009), starting debugger...
wine client error:9: read: Bad address err:seh:raise_exception Exception frame is not in stack limits => unable to dispatch exception.
wine client error:9: write: Bad file descriptor

What version of wine are you using? What are your system specs?

Yeap i think its time just for a fresh install of Debian haha, way too much messing around this past year. nvm

If you're going about a fresh install, and care about putting on the "latest software" might I recommend going to SID as well? I run Aptosid which is basically sid with some fix/blocks in place by aptosid to try to prevent known breaking changes from being introduced. It uses the same main repos as the normal sid debian distribution, but adds a layer on top to block known broken packages.

So far I've been impressed with it, and had very few problems that were not of my own making. It allows me to keep up to date on the latest software, etc and really seems pretty stable to me.

The only recommendation I have is it's probably not a good idea to update the full distro daily (even though you could because new fixes are being released daily) but I generally check them so I know what's out there. I use Update Manager to selectively install updates. Then once I know what is there, I generally install most of them the same day, unless it is a Kernel update or an NVIDIA driver update. Those are generally the 2 updates that have the potential to break the most stuff or want me to reboot, so I wait a couple of days on those to see if they change the version. If it sits for about a week and there is no version change, then I install it.

Good luck to you and I hope you get it all working so you can play this fabulous game!

Yes.. you need to use 1.5.6 or lower to get good results with Path of Exile.

That is actually why I asked which version you were using, as the memory error you got was similar to the one I get and was testing.

If you use PlayOnLinux or something, just set your wine version to 1.5.6 and you should be all set to play for a long time without issues.

Funny enough, my Linux / Wine installation of PoE actually plays better than my brother's Windows installation. The only difference as far as negative affects in wine are the slow loading times and the slow update/install time. His windows install downloads updates and installs PoE much more quickly, and getting into the game (loading screen, login screen, etc) is much faster than my wine install. Ingame however (once I can finally get ingame), my system runs the game a lot better than his does with less lagging/stuttering and it just plays better.

Good Luck!
