[Frequent Crashing or BSOD]

A BSOD implies hardware or driver issues.

It isn't his hardware or drivers. I had the exact same issue since release.

 

Personally i fixed mine by uninstalling from my SSD to my HDD.

[Constant Crash and perfomance issues]

 

I'm in the same situation. Crashing every 10/20 minutes without fail. Sometimes it'll close the game, crashing to desktop. Sometimes it'll freeze my entire pc and requires a hard reset. The recent patch did nothing to help. I've spent more time looking for a fix than playing the game itself.

Same; game continues to crash ... info sent to Ob support ... really just looking to see if anyone has a fix for this.  I feel like I have tried every troubleshooting technique on the interweb so far.  Open to suggestions.

 

Is your game installed on an SSD? I was able to fix my crashing by uninstalling from my SSD and installing it on my HDD.

[Game crashing for no apparent reason]

I may have a guess on this issue. I am running MSI Afterburner 4.5.0 with the RivaTuner Statistics Server 7.1.0 to get some system information on my keyboard display (no game overlaying on-screen display). However, I remember some cases where Afterburner is causing some issues on certain games and I figured it might cause some issues here too.

 

So I turned it off and had no crash so far. I wasn't able to play much further yet though (maybe half an hour), but I will report back if the crashes are gone. Might even replay some of the area around Tikawara from an earlier safe to confirm.

 

Kind regards,

Jan

I got my crashes to stop by uninstalling the game from my SSD and reinstalling it on my HDD. 

[If your game is crashing/causing system freezes, i think i may have found a temporary solution.]

Since release, my game has been crashing every 10-20 minutes, anytime, anywhere. Sometimes it would bluescreen my pc entirely, sometimes the game just crashes and closes. All the components of my pc are new, and no other game crashes like this on my SSD so i don't think its a personal problem, since many others have had the same issue.

 

As a last resort (After trying everything under the sun) i uninstalled POEII from my SSD, and installed it on my HDD instead. No more crashes.

 

If you're having the same problem, try this out and let me know if it works. I've got no idea why this worked for me.

[Even after the 1.1 patch, my game is STILL crashing.]

Hello Disdam,

 

Again, thank you for being patient as we look into this issue for you I've received your DxDiag and Output logs and entered a ticket on your behalf to our Developers. If I find out any additional information regarding this I will be more than happy to pass it a long, in the meantime let our Devs look into this.

 

Cheers.

Thanks matey! Really appreciate the reply and assistance.

Greetings,

 

My apology for any inconveniences these crashes are causing you, please can you forward us your DxDiag and output logs so we can investigate this further.

 

Cheers.

Alright will do.

[Even after the 1.1 patch, my game is STILL crashing.]

I am still suffering GPU driver crashes and black screens randomly during the game after the patch. It is most common while leveling up.

This is incredibly frustrating and isn't even being acknowledged by the team.

 

Come on, Obsidian.

[Even after the 1.1 patch, my game is STILL crashing.]

Before you say it, no, it isn't my pc. This pc is new and has no problems with no other game.

 

I keep getting crashes every 10-20 minutes that completely freeze up my computer and i have to restart. Whats going on?

[Real-time ship combat could have been what made this game.]

Imagine a real-time combat system (Not unlike the regular combat) where you fought the enemy ship using cannons, positioning, etc

 

A real shame. That would have been a very unique feature done in a game like this. The current system just gets dull very, very quickly.

 

What do you guys think they didn't go for a real-time ship combat system? I'd be interested to hear from some of the devs on this decision, too.

[The crashing and blue-screening is ruining the experience.]

Install MSI Afterburner and manually adjust your gpu fan speed. Like someone said above, the game causes many gpu to overheat and then the system shuts down.

You can also use this program to create a detailed protocoll that says exactly what happened before a crash in terms of temperature, gpu/cpu load, fan speed etc...

 

Why would this game cause GPUs to overheat? Its not that intensive is it?

[The crashing and blue-screening is ruining the experience.]

Crashing with a message is normal.

 

The blue screen seems more like a your PC issue.

It can't be my PC, its new and i've had no problem running games such as Witcher 3 and heavily modded skyrim and countless other games.

[Crashes every 5-10 minutes]

I'm getting the exact same issue. I've tried a lot to fix it, nothing has worked.

[Known Major Issues]

The game has serious crash issues. Its bluescreening my entire pc and it happens anywhere, any time. 

 

Is this being worked on? Its honestly unplayable.

[The crashing and blue-screening is ruining the experience.]

Pillars of Eternity 2 is causing the game not only to crash, but my entire pc as well. It happens anywhere. On the world map, in fights, in cities, in dialogue. A lot of other people on the steam discussions are having the same problem.

 

I've tried verifying game files, changing the graphics settings, resolution and audio. My drivers are all up to date. Its nothing to do with my specs.

 

Is this being worked on? The game is unplayable in this state.
