Wccftech • • technology
Key Points:
- Path of Exile 2 faced critical issues, including a "device removed" crash and severe shader loading stutter, which remained unresolved until a recent game update and NVIDIA driver 610.88 release.
- The crashing issue was tied to NVIDIA graphics cards using driver version 566.36 and newer, complicating resolution since NVIDIA initially doubted the problem's prevalence.
- Grinding Gear Games shipped a full PC setup reproducing the crash to NVIDIA, prompting the company to assign an engineer who identified a fix involving increasing the shader heap size.
- The latest NVIDIA driver and game update have resolved both major issues, improving stability for NVIDIA users and enhancing the overall Early Access experience.
- Path of Exile 2's Return of the Ancients patch, released in May, added over 50 hours of endgame content, 15 new bosses, and 2 new Ascendancy classes, expanding the game's offerings despite its Early Access status.
