League Mechanic Crashes and Errors (Failed to Open Bundle File)

As title says. The game suddenly crashes when trying to begin a Trial encounter or sometimes during one and I get this error afterwards.


Now it seems to be a constant error whenever I enter The Halls of the Dead


I also got a different error for a different monster and effect but the game closed too quickly to fully read it or take a screenshot

Different error I got after some more testing


Every single time one of these errors occurs during combat the game crashes, losing all tournament progression and the spent coin

The "General" error window in particular always seem to appear three times superimposed

I had the same error last night, verified files, same thing, deleted install and re-installed on another drive, still the same. Originally was on OS drive and would crash my PC as well, now, on secondary drive it only crashed PoE. Since PC didn't crash, these are the errors in the game log.

Also, I was not in the league mechanic like the original poster but originally in the Beacon zone and then in town.

This was from a Steam install; just uninstalled that and re-installed via the standalone launcher. First load, it seems to be working; if that changes I will add a reply.

Played a few hours without issue so fingers crossed it is a bug specifically with the Steam version of the game. Though, would prefer to continue using Steam client but this, at the moment, is at least a temporary workaround.

So, had been playing for a bit longer after installing via the launcher and standalone client but started crashing again today. Steam had started attempting to "update" the game by downloading 35GB; no idea if that is related or not so uninstalled and found the options to re-install on secondary drive as on main drive it was crashing my PC but on secondary drive it would only crash PoE.

I'm going to try and keep steam closed and see how that works. If it starts crashing again, not sure what else to try.

EDIT: So, crashed PC again (not just the game) with Steam closed and everything. DDU'd drivers and reinstalled. Ran game ~20 minutes without issue yet; will post update either when it crashes again or in a day or two with status.

yeah its unplayable 4me 2, it was running perfect in 3.21 GGG any help??
So far, leaving steam off and using the standalone launcher has been working fine. Does GGG see these posts, though? Would be nice to be able to use the Steam version again...
