Client Crashes
Guidance for troubleshooting the client crashing to the Desktop
While troubleshooting is often effective, some crashes may require that GGG release a fix in an update.
Verify your game client's files
The first step in troubleshooting crashes is Repairing Your Client.
Try using a different Graphics API
The Windows client allows you to choose between the DirectX 11
, DirectX 12
, and Vulkan
renderers. Test all three.
The macOS client only supports Vulkan - and, thus, does not presently include this setting.
Ask the community to review your log file
Wait for the game client to crash one more time. Then, without running the game again, Create a Thread in Technical Support and be sure to include Your LatestClient.txt file. Please also provide your System Information.
Reinstall Path of Exile
If all else fails, you may need to uninstall the game and perform a fresh download and install.
