PoE crashing and logging out user

[Freyjai]

Every now and again when I'm playing PoE the game crashes, and I get logged out of my computer user account. This generally happens when I'm entering a map, and I suspect it may have something to do with the game being saved, because I think it has also happened once or twice when I've saved without entering a map.

 

I am running PoE with both White Marsh I and II (v3.03.1047 PX1 PX2), downloaded from GOG on a Mac with El Capitan (10.11.6).

 

I do not wish to post my files to a public forum, but I have collected them immediately after a crash/logout and can forward to a developer.

Game is probably not crashing then. If you're logging out that would also quit the game. Is there a line in the output_log.txt that reads "Crash!!!"? Anything concerning the games crash should be listed above that.

[Freyjai]

Good point! No, there is no "Crash" in the log.

If it has something to do with saving then it may be an issue with the save location. Permissions or something. I don't know anything about a Mac though. There may be something the game is trying to do and it triggers something on your machine. Are there any other logs available on the Mac that could provide information?

[Freyjai]

There should be, but I am not an involved enough user to know where they are. If someone has pointers, I'd be grateful for them.

Actually, just now it crashed without logout happening ("program unexpectedly quit"). Looking in the Player.log now has it has no instance of "Crash" either.

In case someone else has a similar problem, this issue turned out to be caused by some kind of miscommunication with the GOG Galaxy client. Reinstalling Galaxy solved the problem.
