Random, constant crashes

I’ve been crashing constantly, straight to desktop and usually without any error pop up. This has became really frustrating, especially now with the queue timer.

I can run the game in legacy mode for hour or two, but on resurrected graphics I’m likely to crash before I can finish my first baal run. I can play from 5 to 10 minutes before crashing, if I’m not using legacy graphics. I’ve tried reinstalling the game, I’ve tried increasing virtual memory, I’ve tried updating my drivers and windows.

It didn’t happen on launch or even before that, it pretty much started happening about the same time as the server issues.

Same… its been consistent… just waited 20 mins in queue to play the game, killed D, Meph, Trav, and crashed… now waiting another 20 mins to log back in?

almost 1 month and nothing from blizzard about the constant crash… i think that never will be solved.

I get these as well, but its very random. Other people I played with also had crashes. All different hardware. Does the game itself write out a stack trace and debug info like a register dump? Without that I dont see how you ever figure out what it is. It doesnt happen in OG D2 so its something with the netcode of this new game IMO

Hey there

I do want to first say, there are indeed some crashes associated with the game and while I do not have an ETA on solutions for all of them, those crashes are being investigated and worked on as we speak.

Snobias,

Looking over the crash logs sent to us by your client, Most of the crashes you are seeing are issues currently under investigation or in testing for fixes. There would be no troubleshooting for you to do in regard to those particular crashes.

Your hardware is sufficient for the game and your drivers/OS look up to date.

That said the error logs from the dxdiag indicate a significant number of LiveKernelEvents Code 141 which points to the GPU … This is in addition to multiple errors in the dxdiag involving the game specifically pointing to the GPU.

Some of these could be related to the crashes I mentioned earlier however that many of these 141 LKEs do not appear directly related to the game issues, there could be an issue on the system contributing to making things worse than they otherwise would be if it was just bugs in the game.

If there is an issue outside of the game. then it will typically come down to a driver corruption/conflict, settings conflicts with programs that interact with the game and its settings. or a general software conflict usually other programs fighting for resources the game is requesting.

Reinstalling drivers is a good step, disabling any software not needed for the system or game to function can help determine if this is a software conflict issues, and then resetting any in game settings to default and retesting. (You will still likely encounter some crashes as previously discussed but could help reduce frequency and severity of crashing for you. Worth a shot to see if it does help clear some of this up for you.

Five,

Looking at the received crash reports provided by your client, it looks like about half of the crashes you are seeing are related to what I talked about earlier. The other half are pretty generic but could indicate a local issue. However the data for these crashes is pretty basic. Hardware looks solid and Windows looks updated. It may be worth putting in a direct ticket and provide system files (instructions for them in the form.) and see if we can locate any potential issues in that data that we could provide direct troubleshooting for. It won’t solve all of the crashes of course since some of those are indeed issues we are working on from our end, but it could help reduce the frequency and severity of such crashes:

Setimo,

I suspect the same thing I mentioned to the others is going to apply here as well however, None of your client’s crash reports seem to have been sent to us. (usually a firewall or security block and not an indication of another issue) It just means I don’t have any specific insight for you beyond what I mentioned to everyone else. It may be worth putting in a ticket and including system files to allow us to at least rule out local contributions to any of the crashing you are seeing. (You can use the support link I posted above.

Oscurokey,

Most of your crashes also seem to be issues we are currently investigating, the provided crash logs did not load hardware information for your system so I couldn’t dig through to see if there were any potential local issues but the number of submitted crash reports was also significantly lower than the others I had data for in this thread. You are welcome to submit a ticket with system files if you would like us to take a direct look. We may see some things that could be addressed to help.

welcome to blizz having your money and not caring.

at least now you can wait in a queue to get back in… lol

Any idea why restarting my game every 10 games stops me from getting crashes?

I have had random crashes to my desktop with no error or even a popup to say you crashed, or send a report since the launch of this game, but today after updating it has now become un-playable, I can sit at a menu for 5 minutes and then crash to desktop, cant play offline either, I have done a full roll back on drivers that didnt work, I fully uninstalled and reinstalled the game, no avail, I know the pc is good as I can jump into Path of exile at max settings and play for hours. I dont have words for how mad I am.

i have had the random crashes to desktop happen 2 or 3 times every time i play well it was annoying i didnt really get that mad about it but now today high rune LO dropped and game crashed b4 i could grab it this is just ridiculous

I to am crashing consistently after the last patch that implemented the queues.

I was not having this issue prepatch.

I updated drivers, reinstalled game and tried running the game as administrator.

Still the same issue, within a few minutes (2-5), the game simply crashes.

Why don’t you guys rollback the last patch until you can figure it out in house. There were issues prepatch but it is now unplayable. The feedback is consistent across the board.
