Crashing please help

Hi,

I’m experiencing persistent crashes in Path of Exile 2. The game crashes at various points, primarily during loading screens, but sometimes even after reaching the login screen or while entering the game. Here's what I’ve observed:

The Client.txt log consistently shows the following error before a crash:

arduino
Copy code
2024/12/22 18:20:34 501428406 d5a32775 [CRIT Client 33804] Failed to decompress (corrupted data)
The [CRIT Client] numbers (e.g., 33804) change with each session.
Steps I’ve Tried:

Reinstalled the game multiple times.
Verified game files through Steam.
Deleted all cache/temp files related to the game (ShaderCache, etc.).
Checked my system and hardware:
No issues with SSD (health checked using CrystalDiskInfo).
RAM passed memory diagnostic tests.
No other games (even graphically demanding ones) crash on my system.
System Specs:

CPU: Intel i9-13900K
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4070 (latest drivers installed)
Storage: WD SSD (fast NVMe drive, purchased in 2023)
OS: Windows 11 (fully updated)

Additional Notes:

The game launches more reliably after multiple retries, but crashes remain unpredictable.
Other games on my system, including those with high performance and file handling requirements, run without any issues.
I suspect the issue may be related to corrupted assets or decompression during file handling. Are there known issues with this? Could it be server-side or related to how files are downloaded?

Any assistance or guidance would be appreciated.

Thank you!
