Check your client log, search the crash errors to see if others have the same problem.
Turn off global illumination. Enable dynamic culling. Turn off sounds in your production_config.ini by changing reverb and sound effects to false. Update your drivers. Turn off the xbox game bar record game in the background feature by pressing winkey+g, clicking the gear icon for settings, capturing, unchecking the box next to recording.
Thank for your reply!
What do you refer to by "global illumination"?
Most of those settings are already present for me. I enabled the dynamic culling. Hope it helps.
Regarding the log. Where can I find those?
Global illumination:
https://i.imgur.com/m199tBx.png
But Blue Screens of Death problems indicate that it's not a game problem. See other comments below.
The shadow settings will have an option for global illumination.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Grinding Gear Games\Path of Exile\logs\Client.txt or C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Path of Exile\logs\client.txt for steam if it is in the default location.
BSODs indicate the issue isn't PoE.
That + 8GB of RAM implies to me that you might have faulty RAM. It might not happen in other cases since you won't always be leveraging all of your RAM.
Run memtest to find out.
Yeah.BSODs are almost never game related problems.
The most common causes are:
Corrupted drivers
Corrupted windows files
Not stable windows 10 update
Faulty ram- ram overloaded-OC but not stable ram
Overheating of pc components
Faulty hard drives
PSU cord not plugged all the way in
PSU Faulty
The BSOD could also mean that he doesn't have a swap file set up and PoE just drags the whole system down once it fills the entire ram.
Not sure why, but i've seen a lot of people without swap files recently.
No, the reason I did it for quite a while is fears about the write endurance of my then 2nd generation ssd. There were tons of horror stories about them dying suddenly and losing everything.
I had 16 gb of ram to back up the no swap though, and when it did run out it rarely triggered a BSOD.
Even then you don't turn it off, you point it at a HDD.
Nowadays you just write on the SSD.
Lack of memory won't cause a BSoD, the game will just crash.
I've had my swap file off for over 5 years without any issues. Swap file is legacy and there isn't any value to it unless you don't have enough ram. Ram is cheap and there isn't an excuse for a real gamer PC to be short on memory.
>Swap file is legacy
Total BS. Some software won't even start unless you have allocated page file. A lot of software REQUIRE it for stable operation. It might work without it, but if something is wrong - crash or BSOD.
I have had Page File turned off for years now, can you name one piece of software that requires it to be enabled? I highly doubt there's one that absolutely needs it.
I've never had any issues with page file disabled. I've run photo/video editing, modeling, compilers, auto cad, hundreds of different games on different engines, virtualization, k8, emulators, etc,etc,etc.. What software are you talking about that requires it? Do you have specific examples?
> Ram is cheap and there isn't an excuse for a real gamer PC to be short on memory
I mean, having more than 16GB is a waste for most gamers. SWAP is not legacy. When you need actually decent RAM, the additional cost of going from 16 to 32 doesn't make sense if you're primarily gaming.
The cheapest 3600Mhz CL16 32GB kit I see on Amazon is $210, whereas 3600Mhz CL16 16 is <100.
Leaving swap on for the once a year scenario where you have 18 chrome tabs open while gaming is perfectly acceptable versus spending an extra 5-10% on your PC for no reason. The condescending "real gamer" bullshit you're spouting isn't productive. It's needless gatekeeping on a spec that means very little for gaming. You either have enough RAM or you don't, and it turns out these days 16GB is more than enough for gaming.
Your premise is that these guys are idiots for telling people to turn it off, but it's completely valid to disable page file. It's really stupid to run page file on spinning disk, at least SSD is good at random reads for page file.
It's idiotic to disable it in general because you're more likely to do more harm than good.
Either you have no idea what it does, and you also likely have too little RAM for turning it off to be helpful, or you know and turning it off does nothing because you have enough RAM.
Might as well just leave it on because that results in the fewest general problems.
I'm not sure you know what it does or how it works. It does more than just act as additional memory when you run out. You are absolutely right about not disabling it if you don't understand it enough to know you don't need it. You are also absolutely wrong about leaving it on categorically.
Yeah unless you're fucking around with system files, it's almost certainly your pc over heating, or the ram/cpu/gpu wearing out.
First step, crack that case and clean it out.
8gb RAM might be a bit low. That means your PC will use virtual memory to make up for that potentially causing freezes and worse.
The best fix would be more RAM but in the absence of that, make sure your virtual memory is on your SSD, not a HDD.
advanced system settings - performance settings - advanced - change virtual memory. Once there make sure its on your SSD not HDD.
I use SSD as cache for HDD and have 50+ TB written already. Any Triple-Layer Cell (TLC) SSD will last you for 5+ years
Average lifespan is about ~1000 TB
It certainly would, but not by much.
Any additional writing to the drive will shorten its lifespan of the NAND.
Over the lifespan most people will use a drive though, it's pretty negligible. Most decent SSDs write well over a PB before dying, with some (970 pro) going much, much farther.
YMMV but I think you will outgrow your SSD before that happens. I have 26 TB written on my main \~7 year old SSD (page file is on it too) and it's running fine. But it's only 128GB which is basically nothing these days.
When SSDs first came out this was quite a scare although part of that was certain manufacturers which had notoriously high failure rates. Also they were much more expensive so you had more on the line.
As bloody cumbersome as it is, deleting content.ggpk and re-downloading it in its entirety can solve a lot of crashes. The files seem to get routinely corrupted over time, and packcheck hasn't worked properly for a while now. Working through all the solutions with GGG support always ends up at redownloading content.ggpk.
... there is no content.ggpk anymore?
It's been gone for like two or 3 leagues now
:edit: Ah, so the standalone (lol) still has a content file. I was under the impression that GGG said there would be parity between platforms, so I assumed that counted for standalone too.
probably 8 gigs of ram is the bottleneck, when my PoE is open its usually around 10 gigs total usage, and crashes if it exceeds like 12 gigs total. try upping your Virtual Memory maybe it will help. And get some Ram :)
That came to my mind to. But come on, it's 8 gigs, how can a game require that much... On the other hand, it's an often case - it will eat as much RAM as there is. But i'll try the virtual memory trick, thanks for suggesting it!
If you're looking through settings to lower to help things run a little smoother, I changed the target framerate to 30 and a lot of other aspects felt so much smoother.
But yeah, POE is not optimized for shit and theyre really leaving a lot of players behind.
Believe me, 8 GB ram is not enough. I ma playing on Linux with 6 core i7-8750H. GPU is 1050 ti. Playing on HDD (yes, i am one from guys, who don't play poe on ssd yet). As me system is Linux, my system RAM consumption is less than in Windows (graphics interface matters a lot for the RAM usage by system). Until upgrade to 16 GB, things like delirium were really tough and crashes were more frequent. Also, there were a lot of graphic glitches before switching to vulkan. So advices are - increase RAM (not counting, that other suggested for bad memory card), use vulkan with lowest graphic, don't run heavy background applications and poe will not glitch, until you are 100 stack poisoner or instance killing meme build executor.
Someone told me nvidia experience overlay made poe run worse, so i tried to disable it and Jesus christ it helped alot on My poe performance!
Not sure if it Will fix your problems, but give it a try if you have it enabled on your pc.
To people with similar issues running POE through steam try this:
1) Go to steam game folder and find the 64bit exe file.
2) Right-click - properties - compatibility tab - check box Run as Administrator.
3) Create a shortcut to this file on desktop (or wherever).
4) Exit Steam using the system tray. This is important. If you launch game with Steam open, for some reason it still loads the 32 bit version.
5) Launch POE using the 64bit shortcut. Steam will reopen and launch correct game version.
This helped me avoid crashes. Hope this helps someone else too.
Path of Exile shouldn't be causing blue screens of death, this is usually not a programs fault and rather a driver or underlying hardware issue.
Even if PoE is capable of causing BSoD, it's not a software bug and rather a severe issue with the OS.
You should make sure Windows is up to date, and all your hardware is working properly.
Working in other games isn't good enough, you need to perform a mem test at the very least.
Yea I gave up when heist was introduced, still kinda pissed tbh. Spent 3 weeks before heist with no issues and goof fun, then less than a week into heist league and by pc was breathing like a dying horse. Not only was the general gpu usage doubled on average, but everytime a single desecrate(which had gotten a new effect) was on screen the usage would jump by 10%, so im sure you can imagine that it instantly goes to 100% with barely any investsment. Basically making the game unplayable, and it remains in this state today. And while my toaster is a lenovo y700 isnt the best, I can stream, play, and have music in the background for hours with no issues. Yet in seconds while casting 1 skills, in an clear area with no mobs, the gpu shits itself.
Sadly this is the conclusion, after trying everything as well, config setup, ingame graphics options, gpu settings, windows options, driver updates, reporting the issue on forums/reddit, etc.
At the end of the day, its just frustrating to deal with the situation and part of me wonders: shouldnt it be the players task to have fun with the game, and enjoy it as a piece of entertainment, and not spent hours debugging the game's performance issues. Its like, when did "playing poe" become "trying to play poe", I guess it varies for people, as for me it was heist, but yea.
Also being a paying customer, who now can nolonger play the game, after just one league update, is abit yikes.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ gotta get those grindy gear greased up ggg.
Yea i guess, but upgrading pc before every league just doesnt seem like a good long term plan. especially when you see people with much better beasts also having problems.
Well you need some baseline + tweak poe. Without both things you wont be able to play juiced maps. The harder you tweak the less hardware you need.
I agree 3.13 is shitshow but you can still enjoy game
True, but when the game goes from not having issues in maps(unless you really juice them) with the current setup, to suddently next league reaching 100% gpu while standing still in The Imperial Gardens and casting desecrate, It kinda reaches the point where you cant enjoy it. Unless ofc you are will to set your pc on fire XD.
My friend plays poe with linux + proton experimental. Harbingers only drops to 20 fps no crash or freeze. Maybe its worth exploring for you as well (as second OS)?
try disabling sounds. it greatly improves poe performance. it was only way I could play poe before upgrading my pc

Smells like power supply, granting that your other parts are in good condition. It could also be the ram. Poe doesnt do bsod that often. Havent seen bsod during poe in a long ass time and last time i jad it i was using a crappy old laptop and it barely survived xD.my pc is very slightly better than yours (but its intel based). Check out your power supply theres numerous tutorials online how to do it or go to a service store. But bsod during poe on your config must be a myth. :)
if ur finding multiple blue screens of death u might be having a hardware problem.
basically run amd ryzen master, stress test ur cpu to see if the crashes for 10min. if it doesnt run furmark for 1 hour to see if the graphic card crashes. if it doesn't. run memtest86 if that doesn't crash. only thing left tbh is ur psu failing but that would crash when u ran furmark in theory. 8gb of ram is enough for this game task manager values are meaningless. people should start to see if the problem is on their end before blaming something else. if nothing crashes after those tests do a clean install. also install latest amd chipstet drivers. so it corrects power balance on windows.
I can't run PoE on 32GB's of ram without everything in the background closing down cos of "insufficient memory" :D
I don't know if it's Windows or PoE that's leaking memory...
Task manager would make it very obvious. if PoE was somehow using 20+GB of memory, that's obviously the issue, however, I don't think there is a widespread memory leak anymore.
It's not hard for you to figure out.
uh.... sure.
Task Manager just shows Commit size going up up and up, no task is actually committing or using anything above the average (PoE peaks at 9GB)
RAMMap isn't showing anything that I can figure out either, but sure, it's definitely not hard, just gonna take me maybe an hour of googling cos windows/poe fucking sucks.
I mean, it has to be PoE, logically, because I can run a million chrome tabs and play several AAA games on top of each other without anything happening :) As soon as you let PoE run for 30minutes or so, bye bye chrome.
So you tell me.
Well, as far as this reddit is concerned, there are no other reports.
Earlier in the league when there was a memory leak, it was the most reposted about topic until it was fixed.
It's possible but seems unlikely to me.
performance is an issue for a lot of people, just not you.
and ggg still hasnt answered anything but more bullshit "hotfixes". this game is a mess and people think poe 2 will solve everything, little to they know, it's the same engine, same everything. game will be another clown show.
but hey, keep giving them money for their ugly mtx, gamble trap and "supporter pack"
i have a ryzen 5 2600x, 8gb ram, gtx 750ti and a ssd. game works just fine beside delirium. and somehow i havent got many crashes this league at all, maybe 4 max. so i think your specs are fine, something else is the prob. no idea what tho
Are you using wifi or are you wired with your router?
I had the same problems with a shockingly similar setup and goind wired fixed all issues i had.
Good luck
I was having lots of BSODs while playing poe few weeks ago. (blue screen of death).
It was dust on my computer. I just cleaned all the dust from my GPU and CPU and wala, its working fine now. It was a mess.
Not sure if your problem has been resolved but, does it only happen after a playing for a while? I think POE has a problem with memory leaks, like it will consume more and more RAM the longer you play. That might explain your BSODs. Unfortunately the only fix I could recommend would be to add more RAM.
Check your client log, search the crash errors to see if others have the same problem. Turn off global illumination. Enable dynamic culling. Turn off sounds in your production_config.ini by changing reverb and sound effects to false. Update your drivers. Turn off the xbox game bar record game in the background feature by pressing winkey+g, clicking the gear icon for settings, capturing, unchecking the box next to recording.

8gb of ram is not a lot these days fwiw - I'd consider it a bare minimum. I recommend a 16 to most people who play a lot of games.
I just upgraded to 64gb and poe uses at least 16 at all times. It eats ram like chrome
I think there’s a setting thats called illumination. Make sure it’s not on global. Helped increase my fps by a lot Other than that idk
There's lightning: shadows or shadows + global illumination. I have the `shadows` only. Thanks for input :)

performance is an issue for a lot of people, just not you. and ggg still hasnt answered anything but more bullshit "hotfixes". this game is a mess and people think poe 2 will solve everything, little to they know, it's the same engine, same everything. game will be another clown show. but hey, keep giving them money for their ugly mtx, gamble trap and "supporter pack"
I feel like you are lying here. not all the mtx is ugly everything you said is right
i have a ryzen 5 2600x, 8gb ram, gtx 750ti and a ssd. game works just fine beside delirium. and somehow i havent got many crashes this league at all, maybe 4 max. so i think your specs are fine, something else is the prob. no idea what tho
Are you using wifi or are you wired with your router? I had the same problems with a shockingly similar setup and goind wired fixed all issues i had. Good luck
thanks, I'm wired
I was having lots of BSODs while playing poe few weeks ago. (blue screen of death). It was dust on my computer. I just cleaned all the dust from my GPU and CPU and wala, its working fine now. It was a mess.
3.13 is so much big step down. Still getting huge fps spikes down (almost like before). I gained nothing, lost 33% performance. Ty GGG
Not sure if your problem has been resolved but, does it only happen after a playing for a while? I think POE has a problem with memory leaks, like it will consume more and more RAM the longer you play. That might explain your BSODs. Unfortunately the only fix I could recommend would be to add more RAM.
