64bit client crashing

What graphic card do you guys have?
I had this problem when amd gaming evolved decided to update my drivers to latest version. The thing is - PoE runs extremely unstable on 17.xx versions and in some cases will even crash on start.

Basically unable to even get to login screens sometimes. Others just crazy long load screens, until the gears disappear, and then I disconnect. Its almost unplayable the passed couple of days.

Same error here.


Intel 6700k
GTX 1080ti
32GB Ram

Dont know if makes difference but i play in 3440x1440.

This problem only seems to happen when i'm in a party, I haven't crashed solo yet.

Things I've tried:

(1)Engine Multi-thread ON and OFF DX11 and DX9ex CRASH....Normal DX9... CRASH
(2)All DX with all graphics to the lowest..... CRASH
(3)Moved game from SSD to HDD Crashes still happen but at a lower frequency
(4)Installed the Stand alone client on both HDD and SSD (I use Steam Client).... CRASH
(5)Installed latest Graphics drivers...CRASH...3 previous Graphics drivers....CRASH
(6)Completely wiped PoE off my PC, and did a clean install and re-ran my above tests...CRASH

The crashes happen 2-3 times every 2 hours, it's not as bad as some people who constantly crash on zone but ideally it shouldn't crash at all, this problem only surfaced for me when the Abyss League Started and i've never had any issues with any leagues of the past.

As stated above I am also having insane computer restart issues as I have been playing for many years without issue. It appears to be force drawing a ton of power gpu wise, and force restarting my machine. Is there any rhyme to the reason behind why this could be happening? I have about 2800hrs logged (steam client tracker) and in my entire time playing, I have never had these issues til this league. I thought it was my custom loop water cooling not sourcing correctly, replaced, and still major issues of the sort.

Is there a potential fix I could try or work on, as I have gone through everything from fixes in this forum as well as reddit and unable to stay connected for longer than 10 mins?

MSI GeForce GTX 980TI GAMING 6G

I've crashed 7 times in a row trying to waypoint to The Climb in act1

I crashed in games and even opening my stash

Same here. I am lucky to be able to login the first try. Most times it crashes or takes insanely long to load. In addition it makes my windows fullscreen non functional at randoms times. It puts the windows bar at the bottom of my screen over the top of POE and cuts off half the pots and skills.

Never had any problems before the recent patch.
