[PS4] Common PS4 Client Crashes
|
i can handle not doing heists because of constant crashes nor doing delirium either but doing low level maps and still hard crashing with no mods on maps is crazy i cant use flame dash as that is certain to make the game crash quicker this has to be the worst league for me (hardly crashed before) been playing since it came to ps4,cmon ggg i have faith that you will find the problem soon and fix it

I’ve been playing Path of Exile off and on since I was pointed in its direction by a fellow gamer in a most obscure part of the internet: a MUD. Specifically, 3 kingdoms. (3k.org). I’ve been a mudder for more than 20 years, and I’ve learned how to hunt down edge case bugs. Could I bitch and moan about the crashing? Yes, I could. It’s 面倒くさい。But, having mental disorders that make me an ideal bug hunter, I’ve independently isolated the variable(player side) that causes the worst of the crashing. Auras. This is not to say that I can see the underlying code and know what’s really going on, or if this is the only place where the buggy code is found, but I CAN reproduce a scenario with a much reduced probability of crashing. Don’t use auras. That said, there’s also the possibility that it’s NOT GGG’s fault the crashing is happening on PS4. I’m going to go out on a limb here and propose an odd situation.
-GGG’s code may not be the problem. Sony’s is. Follow this logic for a minute. PoE doesn’t crash anywhere but on the PS4 with the extreme regularity that we know it does for us Sony consolers. GGG’s code might indeed be immaculate. It’s when the code gets ported to Sony that the problems crop up. Something in the aura graphical code interacts with something else displayed and causes Problems™. Could even be at the driver level. Don't Know. Also, this is based only on my own experiences and understanding of the situation. H0: GGG’s code works. Sony is the problem. H1: GGG’s code does not work. H2: They're both wrong? Testing Timeline Epiphany Excerpt: Be me, running Cruel Labs for the first time, evar. Make it to the second Izaro fight and realize that I don’t have my auras enabled. Malevolence and Clarity. Turn on auras. CRASH 3 seconds later. Thought to self: Hrm. Ok, maybe auras are bad? Attempt to run it again, auras enabled from the beginning CRASH before I can make it to the first Izaro fight. Ok, self, maybe it’s the auras. Try running this beast without them? No auras. Cruel Lab becomes my bitch in a single pass. Nifty. (enchanted boots and got second ascendancy) Hrm. Maybe it’s a fluke. Second pass at Cruel lab no auras. Still my bitch, still no crash. (enchanted gloves) My one recent case can only be anecdotal, evidence wise. Go out there, mighty bitchers, and test this. On a side note, I had to stash the gloves I’d enchanted because Edict of the Tempest was causing crashes after I’d gotten it. I’ve had other causes for crashes, but by far and away, auras cause the worst of the problems. I’m probably going to have to take off the boots too to get crashless again. *sniff* So much for running Lab for the enchants. . . At least until they fix this fiasco. |

I have crashed twice in the past 5 minutes from opening the microtransactions page via the cosmetics panel. Specifically, selecting the head slot and then selecting the purchase option to pull up the cosmetic screen. This is one in a number of instances in which the client crashed suddenly and unexpectedly. I have lost progress on a few occasions, including my first tutorial heist, My Merciless Lab and my act 9 progress on the way to the beasts black core. It's getting to the point that I am getting really frustrated and angry, to the point that I am on the forums posting about it, and holding back my urge to flip the - out. Guys, I know that judging by your statements, You are having trouble pinpointing the root of the many problems, and the random nature of the crashes makes it harder to try to fix but, I can't express the level of frustration and anger that I experience when losing legitimate progress or losing one time item uses such as contracts or maps due to unexplained crashes. I am close to quitting the game due to its unplayability and I've felt as though I've essentially flushed $60 in stash investments down the toilet by basically purchasing or buying into an unplayable game. Fix this ASAP Please! I'm begging you on behalf of the entire console player base.

After almost 2 years it is obvious GGG is not going to address this issue. Maybe if we try complaining to Sony, tell them we will not be buying a PlayStation 5, but instead playing on PC. Maybe Sony will get on their ass and give them some motivation to do some thing about it.

i have a ps4 pro, unfortunately i gave up on the game, i tried to play for 4 different leagues in a row but always the same problem .... 10 to 15 minutes playing the game crashes quickly and then closes ... it's a shame because i really liked the game and I even bought flaps of trunks and sjins ... anyway ... a shame |

yo real talk
how many supporter packs do i have to buy so you can finally afford to hire a competent ps4 developer to fix this game. there have been issues ever since the game launched on console and now it has gotten to a point where its just embarrassing. it is a console lmao, ONE hardware configuration to take into consideration. a literal breeze to code on compared to the complete mess PC is as a plattform. how is it even possible its STILL completely broken while its working flawless on pc? obviously you have competent ppl working on the pc version. is it really too much to ask for the same kind of quality on a much easier to handle plattform? i know the game is f2p but cmon.. please explain yourself oh and btw if you wanna win any credibility back with us you take down MTX on ALL plattforms and dont put it back up until the issue is 100% fixed for everyone. prove to us that you actually care.

I don't care about your apologies, I want expedient fixes. I'm tired of losing 5-6 link armor/exalts/green quest heist due to your failures. Its absolutely inexcusable!
Hey, heres a thought! Next time, make it so crashes won't erase items/progress during league events! How bout making it so we stay in the dungeon, or be givin several chances to reenter! At least till you can fix your jank game! I don't mind limited entries for difficulty when a game is full functional, however I do mind when the game is so busted and broken. My progress shouldn't be destroyed because you can't keep your game running properly. Won't be givin you any money till this shit gets fixed. Several leagues i've avoided givin you cash via console and i'm sure its hurtin your overall profit margins. |
