Game crashes at launch

Having the same issue, nothing worked from this thread as far as resolutions go...

Had been having a similar situation. What fixed for me was to verify the integrity of game files. Go to:

- Steam Library;
- Right click Path of Exile;
- Select Properties;
- Choose Local Files tab;
- Click 'Verify Integrity of Game Files';
- Wait a few minutes;

Turned out for me that there were 140ish things to fix (even though I reinstalled the game recently?). Might not be the problem though, but it's worth a shot.

Note: on my case the game is installed on separate drive from Windows. Not entirely sure if that matters but it's the only different thing compared to before

i have the same problem after the last server shutdown, launching the game and after 3-5 seconds game closes itself without any error. nothing above worked for me so far.

edit: if i am fast enough i can login to the game with my character but still it closes 1-2 after that. even if i only launch the game without doing anything it closes itself.

Try to change playback devices...

It was working solution for me, just switch audio (to working one)

I had this issue recently and I managed to fix it by changing my renderer in the config file (Documents/PathofExile)
I had it set to Vulkan originally, changing that to DirectX11 let me start my game back up and I can use Vulkan still.

holyshit man, you gave me the idea and it worked.
uninstalled NVIDIA HD Audio Driver and Realtek Audio Drivers and i let it be Windows 10's in-built default Audio Drivers and now game dosnt close after 3-5 seconds without any errors. I have tried every possible solution in all topics and everything i could think of without success and I were at my wit's end. now i can finally play the game after 2 days of DCs and rollbacks and stuff.
THANK YOU.

Edit: after restarting the game and adjusting the graphic, ui, keyboard shorcuts etc... its back to 3-5 second and crash... tried the DX11 to Vulkan method now it works again, i guess both methods works depends on situation, its a better than nothing until GGG release the first patch.

I can't get it to work either. I've tried audio, updated drivers, deleted caches, rebooted a dozen times, verified local files, pretty much everything suggested in this thread.

Annoying thing is it was working when I went to bed last night, now it's not. Seriously this league has been cursed.

About to try a reinstall, there goes this month's data cap.

Same Issues, tried this thread and others from years back. No methods seem to resolve the issue, was working "fine" up until todays "update" now it crashes on startup.

Still crashing, will it ever be fixed? Tried half the methods in this thread, the other half are just not applicable. Shadercache and motd stuff doesn't show up in my folders after a fresh install. I launch the game and it crashes right after the GGG logo animation and I see the Login screen for a brief second.

Hello,

I've been having the same issue as the op, 3.14.0b Hotfix makes the game crash immediately after launch.

I've tried the Tech Support forum stickied troubleshooting techniques, reinstalled the game, updated drivers etc. but nothing works.

The solutions posted by previous posters didn't fix the issue for me.
