Game crashing to desktop, like many others

IF the game is crashing/closing without any error it's a very old problem.

It started happening in HEIST league.

Although, I didn't see it for quite a long time personally, but it's definitely not new.
And actually wow, if this is what's happening to you then it was never fixed it seems...

When you guys say crash, does your game just freeze completely then closes? because thats whats been happening with my game, I'm doing a map then out the blue the game halts freezes and crashes to desktop

Yes, exactly. No error message with DirectX and some device lost or something with Vulkan. Although I tested mostly with DX12 as that has the best performance for me.

That's how it does for me.

Same thing is happening to me. Game will lock up and then crash. I can hear the audio also lock up, then recover for a split second, then lock up again, then the game crashes. I think I'm just done with POE. I'll just wait for POE2, and hope it doesn't have the same issue.

Things I've tried:

Verifying game files
Reinstalling PoE
Giving PoE admin perms
Turning off all overlays
Updating Windows
Disabling DOCP/XMP
Checking RAM with memtest86
Assigning GPU to PhysX in NVIDIA Control Panel
Excluding PoE from Windows Defender

Along with freezing and crashing, I now get a short 1 second lag spike opening my skill tree and atlas tree then it goes away and I can open them without lag until I enter a new map, this is absolutely ridiculous

after enter game and load to into get crash instant
ryzen 5600x 3060 ti

did you forget to turn on resizeable BAR in your BIOS?

ty fixed after enable 4G with resize bar

Well guys after changing the thermal paste on my GPU and CPU this seems to be fixed, not only for PoE, but also for BG3. Don't know what else to say except check your temps I guess

Game just crash to desktop , 0 information, just crash , everytime i try to enter Ancestors trials, i dried vulcal and both DX, same thing , just crash

For those of you that are still having crashing issues, here's a couple of things to try. I've had several days without a single issue now.

First off, make absolutely certain that your GPU is getting enough power. There are several PC power calculators online that you can use to determine whether or not your PSU is good enough to handle your GPU + all of your other PC components, including peripherals, like mouse, keyboard, monitors, etc.. If it's barely enough, consider getting something better, or going with two PSU's. In my case, my GPU has three power connectors, and only two of them were plugged in. The third had come unplugged accidentally, and I didn't even realize it. Just something to consider.

Second, if you have your framerate capped, try uncapping it, and turning triple buffering on.

POE has now been rock solid for days. I'm not saying this will work for everyone, or even anyone. That said, maybe someone will find this useful.
