Hi, i managed to solve this issue. I turned on WER and got a crash dump for PoE Exception Code: 0xC0000005 Exception Information: The thread tried to read from or write to a virtual address for which it does not have the appropriate access. So in addition to killing off most processes before i ran the game, i killed off Actual Windows Manager (Running v8.2.2) and found that this was the culprit. The above WER reference made my think about AWM being a possible issue. Once i added an exception in AWM configuration settings, the game exited without a crash. So problem has been solved. Thank you for your time and help though.

Hi, just checked to see if i was still getting the crash. I let steam update to the latest version and loaded to the main menu, waited for about 30seconds, clicked on a few options but didnt continue or load a game. Pressed exit, got the same dialog indicating a crash, left the screen as is for another 30seconds or so, just in case any info was being written to output logs etc. Attached is the output log as it is, doesnt seem to have much info in it, less than previously, but maybe because i hadnt loaded a game. Anyhow hope it is useful, if you need anything else, let me know. output_log.txt

Ok cheers, let me know if you need any additional information or files uploaded or anything.

Hi Aarik D, I verified the steam files, made sure as little as possible is running whilst playing the game, but still getting a crash on exit. The event log shows only one entry though: Faulting application name: PillarsOfEternity.exe, version: 1.2.3.788, time stamp: 0x5548fa09 Faulting module name: PillarsOfEternity.exe, version: 1.2.3.788, time stamp: 0x5548fa09 Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x0002af93 Faulting process id: 0xef8 Faulting application start time: 0x01d15e2cc9dd24e6 Faulting application path: D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Pillars of Eternity\PillarsOfEternity.exe Faulting module path: D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Pillars of Eternity\PillarsOfEternity.exe Report Id: 186c40e7-ca20-11e5-88b5-08626648b163 Im running steam and pillars on a seperate SSD than my OS, with AV disabled. Usually i run a lot of games this way as i play counterstrike global offensive and the VAC service does not like some programs running (core temp, msi afterburner, etc etc) so i have a batch file that stops all services and programs except the bare essentials. I do have Actual Windows Manager running for my 2 monitors, but most games are fine with it and ive not noticed any issues ingame or in the menus with POE. Here is a list of my programs running from a screenshot of taskmanager: And here is the crash dialog as it occurs after clicking exit (either after playing some time, or after being at main menu from loading then exiting) Its not preventing me from playing, thankfully

Only recently installed and played the game - each time i exit game via main menu, it shows a crash dialog - windows event log shows two crash entries: Faulting application name: PillarsOfEternity.exe, version: 1.2.3.788, time stamp: 0x5548fa09 Faulting module name: PillarsOfEternity.exe, version: 1.2.3.788, time stamp: 0x5548fa09 Exception code: 0xc000041d Fault offset: 0x0002af93 Faulting process id: 0x1438 Faulting application start time: 0x01d15d35ab4fdaad Faulting application path: D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Pillars of Eternity\PillarsOfEternity.exe Faulting module path: D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Pillars of Eternity\PillarsOfEternity.exe Report Id: 777b0b24-c940-11e5-85c2-08626648b163 Faulting application name: PillarsOfEternity.exe, version: 1.2.3.788, time stamp: 0x5548fa09 Faulting module name: PillarsOfEternity.exe, version: 1.2.3.788, time stamp: 0x5548fa09 Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x0002af93 Faulting process id: 0x1438 Faulting application start time: 0x01d15d35ab4fdaad Faulting application path: D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Pillars of Eternity\PillarsOfEternity.exe Faulting module path: D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Pillars of Eternity\PillarsOfEternity.exe Report Id: 76a73d4a-c940-11e5-85c2-08626648b163 Attached the dxdiag and output_log.txt file (zipped) Hope that helps.
