[CONSTANT RANDOM CRASHES -- An Unplayable Game]

Maybe it's not the brand, but type of ram, DDR3. 

 

Different brand RAM may use the same manufacturer chips. For example: SK Hynix and Samsung are mostly the RAM chip makers.

 

But I'd be surprised that that has something to do with the issues. A LOT of people would have issues then.

 

Hi Arsene,

 

I don't think that's the issue. I'm using a completely different brand of RAM, and I'm experiencing some similar behavior. Some zones, for whatever reason, are literally unplayable for me on a specific character. I've not yet made it back to those zones on a different character to see if it's an issue with the zone itself, the character, or a combination of the two. I've got a save that literally restarts my computer a second after the load screen. I've tried many and all of the fixes listed in this thread to no avail.

 

However, I did notice that setting my graphics to low, disabling vsync, and setting MSAA to 4 bought me a few minutes inside of the zone before the restart. I've even resorted to running the beta branch of the game to see if that helps. I'm happy to share any and all saves, but I may just be out of luck until there's a future patch.

PoE II randomly crashes and freezes my whole computer with it, requiring a hard reset. Very annoying. I'll just wait for a patch before continuing this game.

I stopped finding a clear cause since no matter what I do, random crashes keep occurring. The frequency changes though: sometimes it crashes all the time, other times I can play an hour or more without.
