Re: Game constantly freezes

What ever the last patch did performance has become a dumpster fire. Prolonged combat inevitably leads to the screen freezing. Restarting the client far more frequently leads to the client freezing up a few minutes after restarting.

Re: Game constantly freezes

I get the exact same thing as you with a similar pc set up.. Game freezes but pc is healthy, have to task manager close the game and reboot.. but im usually dead when i come back in making the game unplayable outside of playing with friends to protect me if i freeze. Annoying thing is i dont see too many others with same issue.

Re: Game constantly freezes

Same issue here, constant freezes and crashes.
3070, Ryzen 9 3900X, 32GB Ram
It might have something to do with windows update 24H2, cuz the same thing is happening in PoE2 to alot of ppl, and some are saying it's this update, but others get crashes on different versions aswell so idk.
Basically the two games that i'm playing atm are crashing non stop to the point that i thought my PC is busted, but then i saw there's alot of other ppl having these crashes, so i have no idea wtf is going on, its weird.

Re: Game constantly freezes

Oh goodness yeah last update wrecked my stability, now constant freezing. And now the freezing occurs nearly within of minute of playing the game.

Re: Game constantly freezes

Same big drop of performance with lasts patches.
Loading takes forever(ssd). Sometime after a bug loading i get "Can't retrieve character list error" then the game close.
When i able to play, a lot of freeze too.

My computer isn't great but it wasn't that bad previously.

Re: Game constantly freezes

Having the same issue. Game freezes with an hour of game running, doesn't matter what settings I use.

Re: Game constantly freezes

I suffered this issue twice, the first time I just climbed back up the hill from Samia's Hope and entered the goblin area, on my way to Lionhold. The second time I was on the back stairs doing the Boneyard Brigade. Both times seemed to have been around 4:00 pm EDT/EST. (whatever it is now)

Re: 📝 Dev Discussion #72 - Guild Program 🤝

I just want to be able to have all my members in one guild without the frustrating system of member caps that takes months to level up for a few extra slots, currently the guild system in-game is just terrible with the pointless slot limitations IMO, members hate being placed on guild number 3 and guild leaders also hate not having the freedom to use one tag, thats my number 1 piece of feedback as of now

Re: RMT has started - where’s the action?

I mean he isn't wrong, it's been an open secret that the large guilds on Vyra are actively engaged in RMT. Enveus, Nova Ordem, Polar, Barcode, and on Lyneth you've got Pirates and Feds.

stupid comments like this make important discussions lose their relevancy, why the fuck you just listed all the large guilds you know even from different servers and made a fucking baseless claim that they are involved in RMT? the fuck dude just stick to facts you actually know of if you care about the issue

RMT has already started in the alpha. There are a number of players on Vyra alone who are there to farm and sell gold, mostly by taking advantage of static gathering respawns. If you check the major RMT services from other games you’ll see Ashes listed there.

It’s insane to me that MMO communities are so fundamentally broken that we’re here already. Obviously it’s alpha so who cares, but at the same time it’d be nice to see Intrepid sit up and take immediate notice and be heavyhanded about this. Your game population will never be smaller, so it should hopefully be easy to track this down and ban for it. If you don’t establish a strict code of conduct early it’s just going to get worse and quickly.

But yes action against RMT needs to start Now, asap before this becomes a bigger issue, I'm waiting to see what intrepid stance will be on this

Ignoring the problem won't make it go away. Calling it out brings attention to the problem and he didn't name names or list sites. I think he did it right here.
