Bug report : Trial of Sekhemas Crashing

Hello GGG.

Bug report reference number: 1.863.510.608

I am trying my 4'th asendency Trial of Sekhemas. Made my way to the first boss area (Collapsing Caverns - Rattlecage, The Earthbreaker). As soon as i enter the boss area i'm crashing.

I can stand still and run around as soon as i enter the area. But as soon as i get to the other side of the bridge it starts stuttering and then crashes. It crashes completely back to my desktop without any warning or anything.

I've tried to change between DX12, Vulkan etc.
Changed settings and stuff. Same problem.

I couldn't find any related issues to this problem.

Trial of Sekhemas:

Monster level 78.

Buffs: Herald of Ice , Cast on shock , Wind Dancer.

Active boons: Fountain of Youth

Active minor afflictions: Dark Pit, Low Rivers, Spiked Shell, Costly Aid

I've recorded it and posted it on youtube:

I'm experiencing a similar crash, but much earlier in my Trial runs. Most of the time it crashes in the very first room. Twice that room was the one with Death Crystals and it crashed shortly after touching the first Crystal. A couple of times it was an Hourglass trial and crashed before I could touch the hourglass.

I did make it though one room once and it crashed on the second room. I also crashed several times on the loading screen on the way to the first room.

I've tried resetting my trial since it's my first time through and I have unlimited attempts. That rerolls the rooms, but I still get the crashes.

I suspect it may be somehow related to the rock monsters (large rock shaped monster with several tiny rock monsters next to it, similar to the boss monster described in the original post, but normal/magic instead).

I also tried disabling multithreading after reading some other posts about crashes due to multithreading. I was able to start an hourglass trial this way, but it eventually crashed about 15 seconds in (probably when spawning new rock monsters as described above).

I am experiencing the same but for the first boss in Trial of Sekhemas

I might have a "quick fix".

For me it helped to go out to Steam and Verify Integrity Game files of Poe2.
I stopped crashing on the boss and could continue with the trial without any crashes.

I am experiencing the same crash on boss load, but on fist trial. I can reload and rejoin my session after a crash. However entering the boss platform, stutter, shutter and crash - EVERY TIME!! I even tried exiting the trial and starting a new one... No dice. 100% crash to desktop upon entering the boss platform.

(Playing 2 trails and already have my second assension)
Kinda afriad to use my 3 trail tokens.

Hi, I have the same Problem...
i go to the other side of the bridge by the boss, and my game crashes.

I was having the same issue. Removing Herald of Ice fixed it for me.
