Patch 3.13.1 - Still Crashing to Desktop

This problem has been happening to me for well over a week. I have tried every "fix" posted across multiple platforms. The fact that GGG hasn't even acknowledged that there is a problem, or any intent to fix it baffles me. Yet somehow I can get ads for new microtransactions and "content" updates every other day.

As someone who has supported this game since beta, bought supporter packs and many microtransactions I can honestly say I will never spend another cent on this game.

I'm not saying there should be a fix or demanding any action at my behest. A simple, "Hey guys sorry this is broke, we are trying to figure it out" would suffice.

That is the bare minimum for a company that expects implicit supportership for a "free game".

Thank you for reading my blogpost.

On the first day of the patch i was unable to play, constant crashes sometimes only seconds into the game, i gave up in the end.

Yesterday i booted up poew and it ran fine all night, not a single crash.

This evening i started poe and its constantly crashing again.

God damn it man.

Yo desistale el juego, lo volvi a instalar y funciona.

Same!
I actualy had to look to see if there had been a hotfix as everything was running good again. well, with low graphics and massive lag, but it was working. and then last night it was a nightmare again...
constant crashes.

I have a cortex map i want to run, breach stones i want to run. I can't run them now. if i crash they are gone. thats just deleting exalts.

If it wasn't for the fact i only have 6 portals i would probably just power through the crashes and get my stuff done until its fixed. but this is just painful.

I think I've fixed my crashing? Disabling multithreading seems to do the trick. However PoE runs like a potato now at like 40-50 fps max. Please halp.

can double on that, disabling multithreading fixes crashing, but FPS goes to shit.

it's gotten way worse. while yesterday I could still play with multithreading off without any crashes, today morning I am crashing left right and center even with multithreading off. I cannot even sell my inventory to the vendor, because after login, I crash between seeing my char and placing everything in the trade window before I can click "accept".

Happens to me too. And I make no changes to my pc. So why I gotta make drastic changes to my pc when obviously it can run fine.

All these people saying do this and that it's getting annoying man. GGG should just fix this.

I have almost the same rig, R5 1600 and rx580 Gaming X. I installed Ryzen Master and disabled SMT in that, which forces a reboot. After the reboot I have not crashed once in 2 days. The game is still an utter lag fest in some areas and rituals are literally a huge blur, but at least it isn't crashing after 20 seconds in the hideout. This is the first time I have ever seen this bad of a performance and I've been playing since 2012.

guyz, seems I have resolved this issue aswell.
I installed Process Lasso, and tuned it to disable SMT only on launching POE

No more crashes since yesterday (before it was totally unplayable, with instacrashes every 5 minutes or less)

Here's what I did :

-download and install Process Lasso free version here : https://bitsum.com
-Open it, then launch Poe (You dont have to login, just launch the game)
-Ctrl+Tab => return to desktop
-on the main window of Process lasso, in the "all processes" tab, right click on the "PathOfExileX64Steam.exe" line => go to the scrolling menu named "CPU affinity/Current/ and check "Disable SMT"
And do the same with the other menu CPU affinity/Always/ and also check "Disable SMT"

Now every time that you will launch Poe it will disable SMT, not all cores, just virtual ones. The game wont fkin crash anymore

With this method you dont have to reboot or edit your Bios every time


Edit : also check in Poe Graphic options menu that the Vulkan renderer is disabled (select DirectX11 by default). I have never selected it, but it was activated, and that caused me constant lagspikes and crashes)

with these 2 things done, it totally resolved the problem for me

Hope it helped some of you guyz

There Is problem with smt and the 3.13.1 patch and ggg how it looks like dont care fixing it now i cannot stream becous without smt me CPU usage jump from12% to 50+-% thank you ggg for breaking working league and not even let as know if you Are working on the problem this problem mostly have ryzen gen1 and if you ggg think that we will run to buy new cpu you are wrong and we will better quit your game soo get your crap together and fix it!!! 3.13 was working great you broke the game with your stupid patch that made more problems then fixed i feel like playing wolcen again

Switching to Vulkan renderer and changing Sound channels to low fixed it for me (Ryzen 3600/5700XT).
