When I try to play path of exile 2, or deadlock, the game will crash somewhere between 4 and 16 minutes into the game. If I load the game up immediately afterwards it will crash again in the first minute. If I keep repeatedly loading into the game, eventually the PC will freeze of crash. My PC doesn't crash when i play hades 2 for a long session.
i have a 7900xtx gpu. i9-13900k cpu, 64gb of ram. 1300W seasonic PSU. Bios is f12
I started off in popOS and roughly 6 months ago deadlock was working fine, and at the launch of path of exile 2 beta, it was working fine; but when i started trying to play both again, this crashing started. I Tried CachyOS, and Nobara and couldn't get them working in any, so switched to windows got the same crashing in windows. One of the times it crashed i got a message about a file being corrupted and to verify game files. So I obviously tried verifying game files; that didn't resolve it. I tried installing the game on 3 different hard drives in case 1 or 2 were starting to go; that didn't resolve it. I tried stress testing the GPU and CPU and both were stable. I used DDU to wipe drivers and installed an older driver and then i tried 1 more older driver and while both games crashed with the older drivers; they seemed to last longer than average. It was very rare for either game to last more than 7 minutes and with the older drivers the PC lasted over 12 minutes in both games. I wiped drivers again with DDU and installed the rtx 3080 I have in my VR rig and the games crashed with the 3080 and modern nvidia drivers as well. Any ideas what to do next?
