  A bug in Path of Exile 2 took eighteen months to fix. The fix itself took two weeks. The crash, a “device removed” error paired with severe stuttering, only affected NVIDIA graphics cards, and only on driver version 566.36 and later, a version that happened to release just before the game’s early access launch. Grinding Gear Games identified the pattern early. What they could not do was make NVIDIA look at it, because NVIDIA’s position was that it would investigate once the studio could reproduce the crash on demand, not before. That is where most of the eighteen months went. The team built custom debugging systems and a full replay system capable of re-triggering the exact crash, eventually compressing reproduction time from several hours down to five to seven minutes. Even then, the bug did not appear on every machine. So Grinding Gear Games packed an entire PC, monitor, keyboard, and mouse included, and shipped the whole rig directly to NVIDIA. No steps to follow, no room to fail to reproduce it. The company put the hardware itself on a truck. About a month after it arrived, an NVIDIA engineer saw the crash happen in person for the first time. Two weeks after that, engineers traced it to an internal shader heap size setting. A week later, the fix shipped inside NVIDIA’s own driver update, adjustable specifically for Path of Exile 2 without requiring any change to the game’s code at all. Add it up and the actual diagnosis and repair, once someone at NVIDIA was looking directly at the problem, took roughly a month and a half. The other seventeen months were the cost of getting anyone there in the first place. Game director Jonathan Rogers opened a bottle of champagne when the fix went live. The bug wasn’t hard. Getting looked at was.

  @pathofexile That link is broken, also, I think most people who signed up for early access are confused by this and don't realize they also need to join.

  @pathofexile When are you going to fix the stuttering in the game during multiplay? It's still happening.

  @Burnty504 @VMJunior @pathofexile Second half of the video is about shaders. And he said they've fixed it also for NVIDIA. Idk which was the main problem though, I'm not a dev.

  Grinding Gear Games had revealed that it mailed an entire desktop computer, along with a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, to Nvidia's headquarters to help reproduce and resolve a persistent game-breaking driver crash. The unusual step had come after Nvidia engineers reportedly spent more than a year struggling to replicate the issue, allowing the hardware setup to finally demonstrate the problem and lead to a fix. #pathofexile #nvidia #gaming

  @grvceek @Mtr1x @pathofexile I got a Vega 56 and I use the latest stable driver version. Generally it runs smooth for me too, but since AMD doesn't allow to increase the folder cache size by default, I also have this endlessly loading shader 'problem', tho not sure how big of a deal that is.

  @KhaotikzLethal @WARDOGS How old are you people that are crying? Idk how this wasn't expected. Even AAA studios have had this issue for the past 20 years. So far this isn't even as bad as Path of Exile 2 or any Blizzard release

  @Nahnahnah184523 @pathofexile I am okay with Fokus shifter to poe 2 Launch is near so clearly they tunr down workforce at poe1 und poe 1 has the problem not really attract new players. Poe 2 is at this point way more beginner friendly and this new player being them money so easy is that

  @77R4PTOR @pathofexile rewarded as they play, currency is what rewards them, sure you can up the low tier ones and decrese the high tier ones, but you can't completelly nerf, POE1 had this problem on this league and the player retation was really low because of it.

  @pathofexile Finally. I've had the first issue for so long. Hopefully this'll make it bearable.
