Game crashes when loading into a new zone for the first time
|
Hello!
I have been battling with PoE 1 this whole league, I've changed all of my settings and my renderer many times. I have clean installed, validated files, checked NVIDIA, all the east stuff. I even moved installation to different drives to see if it mattered, so far it hasn't. I believe there is a shader issue, as it for the most part only crashes when seeing something new for the first time. (Very slowly getting better over time, I had to unlock harvest colors one at a time lol) I have tried deleting the shader cache folders and letting it start fresh in case something was corrupted, but it didn't prevent crashes just let it load very slowly at the start. My current best working settings are: DX12 TBuff off AA Qual off NVIDIA DLSS Trilinear Multithreading on (sometimes off is better, seems weird) 32gb RAM Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-14700KF, 3400 Mhz, 20 Core(s), 20 Logical Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 TI SUPER This is the error from event viewer, the game gives no error it just dies: Faulting application name: PathOfExileSteam.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x69b101f6 Faulting module name: nvwgf2umx.dll, version: 32.0.15.9571, time stamp: 0x69a1cbe8 Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x000000000111bff1 Faulting process id: 0x4F80 Faulting application start time: 0x1DCB55C9017EF5C Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Path of Exile\PathOfExileSteam.exe Faulting module path: C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\nv_dispi.inf_amd64_021cb587ccc8964f\nvwgf2umx.dll Report Id: 29d13049-be6a-4bb1-b61d-18eb2d24fc8c Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID: Last bumped on Mar 21, 2026, 11:32:17 PM

I have spent about 22 hours troubleshooting the issue, I have tried every combination of settings.
I have done clean installs of PoE on steam, client, all drivers, anything I could think of. Event viewer crash logs usually point to dx dll or urc dll crashes, this doesn't happen with any other game. I have disabled all overlays and closed all programs including steam and discord, uninstalled the nvidia app after a clean install Here is the log from event viewer I just wanna play poe :( https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xNGqrljIJSYtWnQvyDZRvfw8Qv_YeRXXeDMzqzpL8Es/edit?usp=sharing |
