[PS4] Common PS4 Client Crashes
Both times I've fought Sirus this league I've gotten a crash. Additionally, I just did my first Mastermind attempt ever, and it crashed twice in two portal attempts. After the first crash, Catarina got stuck near the door, which in itself is kinda bullshit, but then after the second crash the area despawned, wasting so may hours grinding. Also, my chat changed to 733 after the second crash, somehow? The game is great, but spending several hundred hours building up to these crazy endgame system, just to have the climax crash is bullshit.
Sorry for the language, is a bit frustrated right now. |

Hi there I play it on my PS4 pro and had so many crash that a lost count of it. Right at this moment I was trying to do eternal labyrinth to get the last 2 ascendancy points for my slayer and had a crash in the middle of it that just happen right now and was the third time it happens the painful cash CE-34878-0 while doing it. When it happens while I`m mapping its annoying but all that I lose is a portal but when it happen in the eternal lab i lose the offering and had to get another if its happen because i'm doing something wrong its okay but because of a crash :(. Every time a new path came it bring a new hope but for now i'm unable to do my ascendancy? what do i need to do to be able to finish it? besides report every crash

Playing on ps4 pro. Connected to Ethernet (wired). Two times in a row, I get to final phase on Uber lab and it freezes/crashes. Both times, exact same spot. Wasted time and the offering. More importantly, I just want to farm the enchants. Same thing with investigations. Go to boss fight and crash, and then have to start over.
I love this game but I can't keep playing (and definitely not spending any money) unless I can complete the fights. Otherwise I'm just wasting my time and efforts. Are there any updates? While it seemed to get better, it's these crucial spots that are annoying. Even if they're was a way to continue after a crash that the game would recognize. Something. |

Already posted, but I wanna show some appreciation to you guys. Everyone seems to think you don't care about console players, but you clearly do. Thank you for not giving up on this issue, I wish you the best of luck.
Also, PS4 PoE works better on SSF, just a tidbit for other PS4 players out there. |

Untill yesterday it worked ok for me (2-3 crashes per day, big lag when in big fights, fps drop and so on (frustrating in the begining but you get use to it).
Since yesterday it work really really bad: it freezes every 2-3 seconds and the freeze lasts 2 to 5 seconds. I used to farm t13-t14 and now I die everytime in t3-t4 because when it freezes, i lose control. The game in unplayable in this form. I tried everything: changed the gateway port, reinstaled the system on ps4, rebuilt database, connected wifi and wire.. the problem is still there. Every game out there works perfectly fine only this one looks that was made by a bunch amateurs in their garage. GGG i hope you will take out the microtransactions from this game on console or at least make it a totally free game untill u solve your problems. It's not ok to ask money for a game that we can't play. I spent money when I was leveling because I enjoyed the game. At that time the game was running much better. Now in the end game, the gameplay experience is terrible. And definetly not thinking to spend more money. |

" It's impossible to finish the eternal lab. Crashes everytime. Playing on PS4 pro. It's demoralizing to spend money on a game that's this buggy. You need to do something, reach out to other companies if it's necessary because the PS4 version of your game is unplayable. I think only read dead online has a worse experience. Also, your answers are terrible "no new information to share" Doesn't give us confidence at all. It appears you don't know what's going on with your game. |

Hi,
I'm currently playing Path of exile on Playstation 4. And I would like to let you know that this game becomes unenjoyable to play with all the frequent crashes combined with the exp penalty on death. This is no joke, every time I make progress in the game and I'm about to reach a new level the game crashes on me, causing death and exp loss. Out of 100 times I die, 97 times it's due to a crash. The loss in exp can take up to a few days to gain, depending on level. I've been trying to reach level 96 for a week and every time I reach between 90%-95% exp, the game crashes setting me back. It is impossible to play higher level content and most low level content of the game because the game will punish you with crashes and killing you if you try. This turns the game into a boring low level grind with no progression, taking days and sometimes weeks to move forward. I hope you can understand how frustrating this can be, investing what little free time there is just to have all your progress stolen from you due to a faulty game. It crashes regularly between 1-3 times every 2 hours. Not to say that the game isn't enjoyable. It is, at first but the fun factor takes a huge dip towards 0 as soon as you reach the end game. I have paid around 90$ in transactions which I deeply regret. I would have never supported this game if I had known how broken it is. On the other hand, I would probably spend more if the game would work as intended. Is there a way to remove the exp penalty on death (on crash)? At least on standard mode, so that I can enjoy the game at my own pace and I don't have the feeling I'm wasting my time. Is there a way to get my money back so I can throw this game in the garbage and forget that it ever existed? If not, how about fixing all the issues it has so that it becomes playable and enjoyable. This could easily be one of the best games I have ever played. Sorry to say, it is not. The condition the game is in at the moment makes it one of the worst and frustrating games I have ever played. Just wanted to let you know. Thanks for your time, |

Uh,
I don't think crashing counts as a death my friend. Do You see a million posts from HC players complaining that crashes sent them to SC? I could be wrong, but I just can't see how a crash would count as a death and register the EXP penalty while HC players aren't being sent to SC. It would seem to be no different then someone just unplugging the PS4 while in game or hard closing the "App" in mid session, because that's all it is, a disconnection from client to server on the Hardware side. some missions, portals, Labs etc count this as a "Death" but that's only because you're not supposed to "Leave" Hard quitting either by unplugging the PS4, unplugging the Lan (Who games on WiFi?!) or force closing most likely looks exactly like a crash to the servers. I am only talking about the crashes themselves, things that take place because a crash is about to happen or other buggy shit, that's not what I am talking about. |

Why not just expand the graphical options we can mess with on PS4, and let the players figure out what works?

" Crashing leaves your character stuck in the game for 6 seconds until the game realizes you have lost your connection. This absolutely leads to MANY deaths. The monsters in high level maps can easily kill you if you sit there not defending yourself while they go to town on you for 6 seconds. This is compounded by the fact that the game is more likely to crash when the game gets busy from lots of monster graphical effects triggering, meaning you are more likely to crash when the game is at its most dangerous. The xp on death penalty should definitely be removed until GGG gets their act together and actually decides to give a damn and fix the crash issues on console |
