Game freezes then reloads but map progress/checkpoints lost

+1. I get this every 15 mins or so and a friend gets them too, both using nVidia cards, 4080s and 4090 respectively. I hope this isn't doing damage to my computer, surprised how many really horrible bugs have been in this game like BSOD and hard resets, driver crashes ect, I wonder how they messed it up this badly. Sucks cause this is a fun game.

I have this EXACT problem and made a seperate thread didnt see this one.

I have a 3080 ti myself.

I uninstalled POE2, whacked the documents\my games\path of exile folder

reinstalled drivers

However didnt have this problem in STD season...all started in DotH

trying again....

This is a new bug, it was not happening before 0.2. It happens to me all the time. Looks like the client is getting desynced and they just reload your session. They probably screwed up something in the network code or made some optimizations with side effects.

Try changing Renderer off of Direct x12 under Graphics. I set mine to Vulkan and haven't exp issues since.

Exact same experience here on an nVidia card (3070). Vulkan test starting now, here's being hopeful

It's a new feature they introduced in 0.2, that's why it wasn't there in 0.1.

It's a function that manage game crashes, yes, when it's happenning it mean the game crashed. Now, why the game is crashing? one of the main reason is driver related, the other is Windows 11, it behave very badly with certain games.

As for map progression and checkpoints losses, it's normal, these don't get saved when the game crash.
