Clicked X in character creation screen crashed (memory?) Steam Version Graphic Driver Nvidia 391.35. Additional info: Updated Nvidia Driver to 397.64. Click X on character creation screen (no crash).

Edit: Please disregard and delete this topic, I figured out what's going on and will post an appropriate (and accurate) bug report at a later date.

I recently purchase the two DLCs for the game and now when I try to launch the game it crashes. I'm running it through Steam. I get this message: Oops! The game crashed. The crash report folder named "2018-01-16_182532" next to game executable. It would be great if you'd send it to the developer of the game! I have attached my system specs to this.

Description:​ So, I just recently tried to move the cloak Badrwyn's Cover from Serafen to Maia, both of whom were not in my active party. So seeing no other way to move it across characters I switched both of them into my party and moved the item. I then proceeded to pull them out of my party and replace them with Pallegina and Ydwin. When I press apply the game crashes and gives me an error report file. I repeated this for the sake of determination but instead switch out Aloth rather than Ydwin. Same thing happens. I again repeat this but instead first switch out Pallegina for Serafen, unequip the cloak on Serafen, put it into my stash and switch Serafen for Maia. I then give Maia the cloak and switch Maia for Pallegina and the game crashes once more. As one last attempt I try to just replace Pallegina for Serafen unequip the cloak, then switch back to Pallegina. Now the game does not crash. Can confirm with further testing that the thing that seems to trigger it is equipping anyone with the cloak and switching them off the party right away. Steps to Reproduce the Issue: ​You can simply go into the inventory, unequip the cloak from anyone if it's equipped, re-equip it to any character and swap that character out of the party to induce the crash. It is also worth mentioning that if you already had it equipped and just switch them off the party then no crash occurs for me. output_log.txt

Hello, For the past few hours ive been exploring the Old City area under Nekataka. I've found the first Cornett of Depths(i think) in the dungeon itself. Bear in mind i haven't met Dereo(i think his name was) at this point but went in looking for a dead guy who was lowered down with the cage. Anyways first cornett in the pocket, defeated the giant grubb and at this point i put the cornett in the door in the Giant Grubss room, only to take it out later since i couldnt find the 2nd one. Eventually i met Dereo, he told me about some rich dude who had the other Cornett, so i bought it off him for 2500. Went back to the temple doors without telling Dereo about anything since i don't want him involved wanting to put in both Cornetts this time. but now everytime i try to load the map where the temple is it says "Loading error" "There as an error loading the next map Returned to main menu to prevent save game corruption. It happens on both sides from which you can enter the temple map. It only started happening after i aquired the second cornett and I didn't have a single issue with only the first one(from the statue in the dungeon) in my inventory. I hope this gets fixed soon because im very intrigued by this damn door. Have a good day. Toadz

So, I've seen a few people discuss this in other threads, but not this exact issue. I'm not completely sure what the problem is here. Seems like a potential driver issue, but I'm not 100% on that. I have rolled my my nVidia drivers to see if that would stifle the issue, but nothing has seemed to help thus far. My current drivers are 397.64. I've made it to the character creation screen several times and every time, without fail, my game seems to crash. You can still hear the music looping, but both of my displays go black. This prompts me to do a hard reset because there is no other way to access my computer. Up until I've reached the character creation screen, everything seems to work like it should. I'm unable to upload a save file because I can't even save the game before this error occurs. Another weird fact about this, is after the hard reset, my resolution has changed to 640x480 (in black & white) and was unable to change it until I updated my computer (although I was already at the latest version of windows at the time). I'm genuinely puzzled as I've never had this issue on my computer playing any other game than PoE:II. I really would love to give this game a shot, but I can't get beyond the character creation screen. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! output_log.txt DxDiag.txt

Hi. I have a trouble. Game freezing in the load screen in the location when i for first time met Aloth - when i try to go to the sub-level of the arena. After the first crush in this place i can`t load any of the saves in this area (only in this area; saves from the beginning normally working). In other parts, game works perfectly, without freezing and bugs. Really didn`t understand why is this happenning.

This is a non-sporadic crash, at least for me, I have attached an error log. Apparently some game module still refers to steam even though I play the GOG version. The steps are as following: - go to the ship/world map - enter party management, dismiss your companions. - grab another set of companions - equip them etc. - re-enter party management and re-select your older companions - game crashes. The only way to move forward with this is to SAVE before re-entering the second selection, so that you can either exit or let the game crash, reload from where you were and then select your crew again, i.e. don't select a party two times in a row, I guess. If you do that it's not game breaking but it's still a pretty concerning bug. I am attaching the crash dump, the error log and a savegame you can use to reproduce the crash can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6y1gdx1p85ffecg/MyCharName%20%28a9b95203-c1cd-4dd8-9d0b-a67ce81398e7%29%20autosave_0.rar?dl=0 error.log.txt crash.dmp.txt output_log.txt

When I start the game everything is nice and fine until I'm in the place between stuff in the opening walking along with other souls hearing and seeing history. Then the game shuts down my computer as if the plug was pulled. Exactly like the bug in Pillars 1, actually, that was never resolved so I never got to finish that game. (Link to the 2015 bug: https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/72006-shuts-down-computer/ ) Since Pillars is the only game that has done this to my computer during 4 years of active gaming I firmly believe this is a bug in Pillars that should be addressed and fixed this time... Attaching the output and dxdiag files since the game never gets to make a save and there is no way to screenshoot a rebooting computer. Hoping Obsidian can find the bug and fix it this time. With some luck I might even get to play the missing parts of Pillars 1. output_log.txtDxDiag.txt

What do I do? Literally pops up every time I launch from steam....

Summary: the game freezes/crashes during the introduction cut-scene, specifically during the final line of the opening narration (at or shortly after the colon preceding the last clause). Assuming the final clause is a separate audio file, it may be crashing while trying to load it, as the voiced narration ceases at the moment of the freeze. Screenshot: I'm unable to provide a screenshot, as I noticed the Steam overlay ceased to function at some point during the cinematic (I could take a screenshot when the first paragraph was on-screen, but could not by the time the third paragraph was visible); the Print Screen command only copied the desktop at the time of the freeze. Details: I've tried to run the game about a dozen times w/ various settings ticked in the options menu, trying various compatibility modes. Am currently running the game on a Windows 10 x64 PC w/ an older HD6870 GPU, which I know has had some problems with Unity, but PoE1 ran perfectly, so... I dunno. I've also (of course) verified the integrity of the game cache and tried running the game with administrator permissions, with and without the Steam client. Completely deleting and re-installing the game is a last resort as, unfortunately, I suffer from that terrible condition known as bandwidth caps. Save file: not applicable. Output file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AxLN1f9scVlJvda2K00c7b6FeacD8GQp/view?usp=sharing Notes: I've currently got the game installed to a nonstandard directory -- D:\[[ Steam ]] -- I'm going to try reinstalling it to C:\, which is an SSD; if that doesn't work, I'll also try running the game on an older laptop running Windows 8 (assuming an integrated HD4000 card is up to the task) and will report back w/ the results.

I need help, I've tried reinstalling, I've tried Confirming Cache and nothing seems to help. Crash instantly no splash screen. I purchased the game via GOG.com and installed via GOG Galaxy. I played for a short time a day ago and since then I have gotten nothing but the instant crashes, I made no changes to my computer before or after. Attached are the last created crash documents and the DXdiag file for my computer. DxDiag.txt 2018-04-29_012728.zip

Bought the game today, and installed. failed to even boot the game with screen dump of "oops, game crashed" Have tried checking integrity, have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and all of the fixes i've found on official and non official sites/forums attached is the error file asked for. this forum wont let me attach a file either.... please help. not even sure who or how i can contact anyone about this, have wasted 8 hours trying to get this damn game working.

Today I managed to play few hours in Pillars Of Eternity, then stopped for sometime and just exited the game (traditional way, Game Menu -> Exit to Main Menu -> Exit). Now when I'm trying to start the game executable says that game crashed, log created (attached here) and it would be great if I'll send it to you. So here we are.

I can't play Pillars of Eternity for a reason I've never seen before. When I start it up in Steam, where I bought it, the game cycles then brings up an error message about how it has tried to switch resolutions and can't. This accompanies a crash. Help?

I've recently downloaded the game on Steam after a few months without playing. Now the game keeps randomly crashing during gameplay (not during loading screens or any specific action). It just gives me a Windows message that the game stopped working and needs to be closed. I've already tried to delete and reinstall the game, no success. ​I also tried verifying the game cache, but it found no errors. I have an Acer laptop, Intel Core I7 7500U, NVIDIA GeForce 940 MX 4gb, 8gb ram, running Windows 10. Need some help.

Hi, I'm a big fan of both the actual board game and the app. I love the game and spread the word to all my board game friends. Unfortunately I have a problem with the app. I'm using an ipad mini 2 on iOS 10.3.1. The game has been crashing everytime when I try to enter the character screen (either by pressing the character button in a saved game or by pressing the new game button). This has been an issue for more than half a year, but I used to work around it by entering the character screen in the quest mode which not only worked, but after entering there, I could enter the character screen in all the other parts of the game without crashing. Unfortunately there is no quest mode anymore, so it is now a dead end promblem. This has not been fixed through many builds of the game and a couple of OS upgrades from my part. Is there any known solution or perhaps a possibility for a fix in future upgrades? Thanks a lot! Alex

Hi, For the community, thinking about deleting and reinstalling the app on my iPad to clear up a crash issue I'm having. Has anyone else deleted and reinstalled the app before? When you did that, did the newly installed app keep all your purchases, etc? My biggest concern concern with deleted and installing again is losing the $25 I paid for all content....plus the gold I've amassed. Is this info kept in the cloud and then retrieved when you reinstalled the app? Thanks, Ian

Just started happening to me in the last day or two. From the main screen, hit Start, then New....goes to image of goblins, gets stuck, and then crashes game. Please help!!

I'm running into a problem under 10.1.1 on an iPad Air. When I go into quest mode, it goes to the intermediary screen, then crashes instead of loading the party choice screen. I can get to that screen in story, but not in quest. I have tried uninstall/reinstall. User ID is 6282.

Game crashes after selecting story mode or continue

Can't find a report button in the app nor in this forum so I'll post it here. General (For all issues) Device type: iPad OS: iOS 10.2.1 Model: iPad Pro 12.9" PFID#: 7913 Gameplay issue: pass & play off permadeath off Quest Mode Characters in Party - Seelah, Lem, and Lini Location - don't remember Turn Order - as above Scenario & Scenario Difficulty. Can't see since screen is crashed What card was encountered when the issue occurred - after permanently closing location, where location power was to recharge item. Did the issue occur on the first explore or a subsequent explore? If subsequent, what card did you last encounter? What was its resolution? - iirc, just defeated villain. Did other characters aid the check? What did they use to aid it? - don't remember Was the encounter a Horde? No. Quest mode now opens to screen to recharge item from discard pile, but I can't do so nor cancel it. Thus quest mode is now unplayable.

I've got a bit of an odd bug where when I try to either build a new party or manage a party in story mode, the game just crashes me back to the 'desktop' of my phone. It's been persistent through the past two updates - I'd hoped that one of those update/reinstalls would fix the issue, but no dice. Any ideas? The crash started happening right after I bought the updated Kyra, and I'm suspicious of that, as it occurred for the first time when I was trying to select her alternate-gear outfit, and then thereafter whenever I tried to play with that party, and whenever I tried a new party. After a while of this, I deleted that party, intending to re-make it - but it crashes whenever I try to build a party at all. I'm able to play my other two parties (neither of which contain Kyra), and I'm able to play Quest mode, including using the alternate Kyra there. I'm on an Iphone 6, PFID-6D8DD3A42EB2814D, if that helps.

At a check for the last stone head location before the boss’ location is unlocked. Merisiel has fallen and all other characters are at the same location. Kyra failed the check to defeat the stone head. After all damage was resolved, Kyra had one card in her hand (Favor of Shelyn). I was then presented with the choice to either shuffle or place on top the stone head card. Selecting ‘Top’ made the choices disappear for a moment, and then the game crashed. Upon reloading of the game, I was presented with the same decision of ‘Shuffle’ or ‘Top’, and the game will crash a moment after either selection. I cannot click on any other button when I reload and the ‘Shuffle’ or ‘Top’ prompt is on, nor can I quickly click on any button for the moment after I made my selection but before the game freezes and crashes. I have also uninstalled the game, rebooted the phone, and reinstalled the game, but I am still at the same spot when I resign in. I play this game on my Google Pixel phone, and have tried to get by this spot on my Samsung Galaxy S6 phone, but have the exact same issue. Is there a way I can quit out of this mission and restart it? I just want to get by this spot, as I am pretty far in the story. Thank you in advance.

Hello, I have a new installation of POE that is crashing randomly. The attached save game is in a location where I shortly encounter combat. When the combat became significant the game crashed. I am launching the game as admin and also confirmed there is no font listed in the output log or *UN* font present in the font folder as described elsewhere in this forum. save game located here: ; https://www.dropbox.com/s/yudvpbb3gv3q1ru/26f2dfea-601c-47c7-976a-b52685370c89%20autosave_1.savegame?dl=0 So far the game seems terrific - I did read one customer who downgraded his Nvidia drivers to resolve crash. Would like to avoid that, but if it is the recommended solution - can do.
