0.1.1b Patch Notes (restartless)

where is the crash report saved?

already add --ex-crash-report to my steam launch option

(in case someone is confused how to add the paramater correctly for non steam version)

To add the parameter --ex-crash-report, you must place it outside the quotes in the shortcut's Target field.

For example:

Correct:
"D:\Games\Path of Exile 2\PathOfExile.exe" --ex-crash-report

Incorrect:
"D:\Games\Path of Exile 2\PathOfExile.exe --ex-crash-report"

Ok, running it in Steam with a 3090 FE. I have the crash that occurs about once an hour like mentioned in the video you all just released. The graphics freeze, the game keeps running while this is occurring for several seconds and then it's either a hard crash or a dx12 "failed to render <something>" error message and then hard crash.

Added a new client command line option which sends us additional debug information (API markers, NVIDIA Nsight Aftermath, and DRED) from DirectX 12 client crashes. If you're experiencing a large number of crashes and using DirectX 12, then temporarily enabling this will assist us in identifying the cause. This can be enabled by adding "--ex-crash-report" to your Path of Exile 2 command line arguments/launch options.

Does this debugging information work for the freezes that require restarts? Like does it submit what info it has on next login? Or is it useless for those issues?

Also for the freezes, not sure if this may help, but I tested a bunch of situations, and I found two that I have been unable to cause the freeze on:

1) The already widely known "turn off engine multithreading before any loading screen" solution.

2) Windowed mode (non-maximized). For whatever reason I have not had a freeze in non-maximized windowed mode yet. This is my main play mode now.

I HAVE had the freeze issue on maximized windowed mode, borderless windowed mode, and fullscreen on both Vulkan and DX12. The maximized windowed mode freeze actually happened on the cogs before login. I maximized the screen while it was loading and everything froze except the mouse (even Windows taskbar was unresponsive). Not sure if this helps reproduce, I know its been reported on multiple kinds of hardware/OS.

EDIT: Also I looked at the client logs, and almost every single crash looks like this:

"

Sometimes there's a couple extra lines after finalize static entities like a chat message or a driver version message, but it seems to always happen after that line.

+1

Intel 7700k
GeForce 1080
Windows 24h2 (I know it's not supported)
Freezes during load screens with Multithreading activated, also I experienced some audio corruption from time to time.
Everything's up the most updated version possible.

Also got two crashes right after patch was released.
Here is logs:

Let me know if you need more info

A few people have reported switching to the stand alone game launcher instead of steam. That has solved their crash issues. Try it out. Might help identify part of the source

I get the same issues with the lagging mouse cursor and eventual PC freeze-up resulting in having to hard reset my PC when running Vulkan. DX12 seems irrelevant?

We need a map page.

WHAT ABOUT THE PC FREEZE ISSUE?

Crashing much more than usual, having to do the affinity work around to stop the hard PC freezes, very unstable, game plays sounds etc but freezes before crash or then continues, either way not a great experience, great game, love it, but the stability of the game should really be looked at first before any of the game aesthetics imo, been live a while and its the same operating bugs that keep happening, if the game cant run smoothly atm then adding more content before its fixed isnt ging to help matters
