Constant Crash to Desktop

EDIT: Possible Solution for Intel Guys

After following this article https://www.radgametools.com/oodleintel.htm i menage to get PoE to run stable.

I followed the advice of limiting the k-multiplicator and since then i haven't had a crash.

Hope that helps you guys out there


Game crashes without error message straight to desktop. Sometime i can't even start PoE without it crashing reaching the main menu.

Things i already tried:
i tried vulcan,dx12 and dx11 no change.
i verfied the game files.
i got all the latest drivers.
i deleted the cashed files.

i had the same problem during 3.21

Have this issue since league started. Hotfixes changed nothing.
Game is completely unplayable.
No matter what I do.

Re-installed drivers with DDU.

Removed cache shader folders.
Re-installed game.
Tried every engine, DX11 - DX12 - Vulkan all crash my game instantly the moment I go to town.

Installed steam version of game - same.

Same issue here, it seems to happen after a certain time, especially when entering the wildwood or going near it.
There seems to be issues as well when going to town with a bunch of mtx can also cause the issue.
I have a top end 4090 rtx, intel i9-13900k, 64gb 5k DDR on a 2tb m2. I haven't had this issue until this latest patch and it seems to be similar to the issues seen in the Delerium league.

Please GGG can we get some help with this.
Same problem, after patches, still crash after crash, it got to the point where i cant finish act9, beacuse my game crashes while map is loading, no matter what i did, nothing fixed it. Can't progress, can't do anyrhing GGG, do something.

FOR ANYONE READING THIS AND IS DESPERATE!

I THINK I FOUND THE WAY TO PLAY!.

Oh hear me out, if you get insta kicked, or your PC bricked the moment you click enter game and get fucked on the loading screen. This is going to sound crazy, while I was fucking around with the options ( and nothing worked ), I noticed:

WHEN I CLICK "LOGIN IN" and load the chars, Kitava's left hand flashes for an instant! Indicating that the shaders could be fucked. Deleting the shader chache folders does nothing, but if I go back to server select and click "Login In", on the third of forth attempt, Kitava's left hand didn't FLASH! If I try to login in with my char, the game runs !

TLDR:
While clicking "Login In" I notice Kitava's left hand flashing, during char select.
Click "esc" -> "Login In" again 3 or 4 times until Kitava's hand stop flashing and then the game won't crash.

Fuck me if I know why.
GGG's engine is more unstable than a cookie in milk.

Lol :) Doesn't work for me, unfortunately :(
Same here. Every since the post affliction hotfix 8 it crashes to desktop every 5-15 minutes. (it did not do this on the initial affliction update)

Not playing any affliction related content, I'm playing act 9.

I haven't had it crash in town, only in maps.
Tested with a new character. Same result as existing characters. Crashes to desktop all the time.

Game is unplayable ATM...
