I took my party straight from Tikiwara, entered Titan map, left immediately (no actions taken on that map), then I went with my party to the Windswept Shrine, prayed there (not medidating), went straight back to Titan map, and the game froze on me during the black screen with the smokey pipe.

I've had the same thing happen.  I've played from several saves before and also restarted a whole new game after "repairing" the installation through GOG and then going directly there with a new game.  Happens everytime: allows entry into the Poko Kohara Ruins map one time, on return I get either black screen with frozen pipe or message saying the map file is corrupt.

 

I now uninstalled POE2 and will reinstall to see what happens.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hey IndiraLightfoot, dbn!

 

This is a known crash issue that appears to happen with any interaction with the shrine other than just leaving it. I have it in the system and I've placed a link to this post to it as well. Thanks a lot for your info!

 

You the best,
