Latest patch crashes my video card.

The issue still persists. I tried to pinpoint it on someother programms running at the same time. So i switched browser, closed down discord etc. But it still happens.
I doubt underclocking the gpu will make a difference as the temperature of my gpu is fine and it does not even run at maximum clock most of the time anyway. They just seem to mess up the D3D11CreateDevice call in some scenarios.

I think I should mention that I also tried the bandaid fix they proposed to delete the config ini file. But the crash still occurs.

Game has serious optimization issues or some nasty bugs.
If the fps drops from 120 to 30-40, something's wrong. Hopefully they'll fix this soon.

Bricked my map all 6 portals after massive lag and crashing client today. It was Einhar mission. Last thing I managed to see there was beyond spawn with some red beast BUT I am 100 sure there was no Beyond mods of any kind on map, sextants or prophecies

Hay,
I'm encountering similar issues. PoE just keeps shutting down without any error pop-up if the graphics settings are to high. Well im running a pretty new and strong build with a 2070 super on a 2560x1440 monitor. While i was playing on a 1920x1080 no such crashes occured but only after I upgraded my whole setup with the new 2560x1440 screen such crashes started to pop up. Upon checking the poe logs this is what i've found:

Sorry for half of it being in German. This is what it translates to:
The GPU device instance was stopped. Use GetDeviceRemovedReason to determine the action required.

Running POE on a RTX 2070 Super with the latest drivers.

And im still having crashes from time to time with the error

2020/01/04 22:52:23 17832734 c1 [CRIT Client 8388] [D3D11] D3D11CreateDevice: The specified device interface or feature level is not supported on this system.

PC goes black and only solution is to restart the pc by powering off.

GGG please help!

*** double post

same issue - any fixes/workaround?
was able to play without problems until yesterday - now after every few minutes game crashes with GPU suspended error.

It is interesting that most of us that have this black screen crash issue seems to have a quite recent graphic card. A lot reports with 2070, 2070 super and 2080. I have a 2070 super myself. So it might be a problem poe has with the new hardware or a feature of this hardware. But it might also be that we all probably have newer driver version because our pc is new and poe has a problem with that.

at 1060 the game crashes several times a day and goes out to windows
