So I decided to get back into PoE but I seem to keep running into crashes left and right and was wondering if any other goons have seen this problem and what you did to resolve it...Prior to these issues I had ~700 hours of flawless PoE play (all on a much older, weaker computer).

My game will totally black screen anywhere from 10 seconds into a game to around 1.5 hours (longest I've went w/o a crash). It's not even a light crash either, my screen goes black, keyboard becomes unresponsive and I've got to hit the reset button (I still retain sound, and certain programs like Skype keep working as I can keep talking with people). I simply can no longer use my keyboard, and the screen remains black forever.

I also sometimes (if I'm lucky) will get a popup that often says slightly different things, but usually mentions "OUT OF MEMORY" regardless of the specific error. At least with this one, it just boots me back to the desktop and I don't have to reboot the machine.

I've tried playing with graphics sliders (all high, all low, medium, etc), full screen vs windowed - All give similar results.
Updated all drivers for computer - No dice.
Fresh install of the game, verified game files - No dice.

I don't quite believe it's a hardware problem as this is a pretty beefy rig (16gb ram, 980Ti, 6700k) and I can play ton's of other games like FO4, HoTS, World of Warships and BF4 at High/Ultra settings for hours with no issues at all. That being said I'd look at any solution, even if it comes down to a specific piece of hardware just not cooperating with PoE.

Also gave it the ol' google search, but most of the similar issues are from years ago and were due to PoE being run on someone's toaster. Nothing of substance to troubleshoot off of.

Any other goons running into this issue? Fell free to let me know I need to supply more info for a proper diagnosis.

Not without emailing support and getting them to convert your account into one that can work on the standalone.

What's the build I should do if I want pure map clearing speed? RF totems is a great "I lust for murder" build that clears atziri for sub 30 chaos but I've played it for like 30 hours now.

I don't care about uber atziri (and no one else does either :v:), and vaal spark / spark build was super boring. I want to nonstop run through maps (maybe MF?) LA pathfinder?

budget like 10 ex so nothing super bonkers

Voltaxic Lightning Arrow/Blast Rain has incredible clearspeed, and is well within your budget. I played a Ranger last league (after I correctly anticipated the strength of pure chaos damage). There are more options for starting class than ever: Duellist-Champion for tankiness, Shadow-Assassin for pure crit, and Ranger-Deadeye for area.

It doesn't anymore, so you saved yourself the trouble of putting it to 20 quality and then wondering why the hell it wasn't consuming the quality when you rolled the fuse or socket.

Or does quality still affect it, but is no longer consumed?

patch notes:

quote:

When you use an Orb of Fusing or a Jeweller's Orb on an item, the item's quality is no longer consumed. The way that quality affects the result has also been changed. Each 1% quality improves the result by 1%. This makes the Fusing process 20% easier on 20% quality items, for example.

Yeah, like the bird.
For reference a 6link on something 20% before used to be more than twice as likely to occur. It's a huge nerf but it does save a lot of pointless clicking.

But how many people used 20 armorers before every attempt? 2x the odds of barely anything is still barely anything.

If clear speed is the only objective, Raider or Pathfinder are probably the fastest for this build.

The change has made it easier to 6-link rares/uniques, because few people would quality those for every attempt previously.

However, 6-linking high level crafting bases may now be harder / more expensive than before. Using 4 scraps for every fuse used to be worth it. At least so I hear, I generally don't get the kind of wealth where I am trying to 6-link poo poo.

it wasn't worth it to quality uniques and rares to 6S/6L previously, so the change may have buffed that.

they did murder the production line for white 6L bases, perhaps to counter the influx of divination card 6Ls

is there a sink for scraps now?

I never tend to pay money in free to play games, but stash tabs in diablo clones is where they get me, I need to hoard all that crap I'll never use on the off chance I'll use it one day.

I shall never play standard because I'd have to sort through 50 tabs of REMOVE ONLY filled with junk and currency.

so having played through the last couple days, ending up at lvl 38, not really knowing what I'm doing but ending up with a ranger build that does close to 2,000 dps and having beaten act 3 without any trouble anywhere, and then I do this labyrinth thing and get my poo poo COMPLETELY pushed in by the boss. Is this a thing? Did I do something wrong?

The Labyrinth is a totally new mechanic that is really unlike anything else in the game. Izaro makes very powerful, telegraphed attacks that can be avoided semi-easily (some more than others, obviously) and a few attacks that aren't nearly as damaging but are harder to dodge. Then you have to deal with whatever his rotating gimmick is - sometimes you kill things, sometimes you click things, etc. It can be a lot for a new player to take in.

There's nothing wrong with gaining a few levels first and then going into it. I did my first normal labyrinth at level 45 or so, which let me have a bit more wiggle room and let me learn the mechanics better.

It's a warning for what's to come.
In all seriousness though, lab can be a bit harder than anything before (or after) it especially if it's your first time running. Just come back at like 45, don't stand in poo poo and you'll be fine. Bring a movement skill ideally.

Anyway, I think we had this discussion earlier this week upthread, but your first char is probably going to be a throwaway, poo poo can get significantly harder past normal difficulty, and if you're not familiar with the game or following a guide, it's easy to build a character that won't necessarily function in the endgame. There's also a bit of weirdness going on with the difficulty curve since they added act 4, which I would argue can be harder for a new, untwinked character than the next two or three acts following it in the next difficulty.

Edit: basically take way more life nodes than you think you need.
