Path of Exile 2 crashes
Often damaged game files, cache or settings
The client closes or shows graphics errors. GGG says broken game files, a corrupted cache or a non-default setting can each cause crashes.
How to fix it
Verify the game files: in Steam use Properties > Local Files > Verify integrity, in Epic use Verify.
Reset your settings by moving the game's config folder under Documents\My Games to a backup place.
As a last resort, delete the client's cache folders; the game will run slower for a while as it rebuilds shaders.
Check GGG's Known Issues thread to see if your crash is already listed.
