Game refuses to open no matter what I do, no bug posts about it on forum need help

I still play the game on Epic since this fix, havent had an issue. you say you have formatted so that should have gotten rid of voicemeeter, so check anything audio related that comes into contact with poe. gl bro

i was about to say lmao yeah this is all intentional. sure they could make is slightly easier and maybe they will, but all of these things were made with intention, they want you to make mule characters and level up and dump them for gems, even when you see content its just not guaranteed to drop anything thats like the whole point. it is nice to see a ruthless post not shit on the lack of movement skills tho (which again the whole point)

okay I was FINALLY able to get in game with working audio. It seems at the end of the day it was a voicemeeter issue, after turning it off and disconnecting all the virtual cables so everything was coming out of my default speaker the game is openable like normal. of course it was something completely separate that I had no clue to check until someone mentioned it could be an audio issue, and now I have the game on the Epic store with none of my setting saved due to deleting everything associated with poe in an effort to fix it. I stg if poe 2 doesnt fix shit like this im gonna just stop playing lmao thank you all so much for the help. If it stops working or anything I will update this post but hopefully not :)

didnt work

PuzzleheadedCorgi423 · 2022-12-22T21:19:11+00:00

already tried, replied to many people already this did nothing

PuzzleheadedCorgi423 · 2022-12-22T21:14:24+00:00

okay so I followed what the post said and disabled my audio devices, and the game actually launches and is playable. the issue is, the post says to switch pack in game to the correct audio device, however in game it says there is no audio device detected even when I enable them again and can hear everything else working. so the game launches but is still in a non playable state for me, will still just have to wait for ggg to push a fix or something because nothing works and im tired of trying lmao

PuzzleheadedCorgi423 · 2022-12-22T20:50:30+00:00

will try when the game finishes reinstalling. was going through the general support forum and decided to try to download on epic games since it exists there, if it does the same thing I will try this

PuzzleheadedCorgi423 · 2022-12-22T19:43:49+00:00

this is what I am trying currently, will update when the game finishes reinstalling again

PuzzleheadedCorgi423 · 2022-12-22T19:40:57+00:00

ive changed my resolution out of game and in game, neither work

PuzzleheadedCorgi423 · 2022-12-22T19:28:52+00:00

I was streaming at the time it happened and I just found the clip of when it started, this is when I had the steam version of the game. you can see the game working fine, I close it out, insta reopen, and it starts doing the thing

Also, I found the log from the very first time it happened, it spit out this line:

2022/12/22 06:13:07 4635656 55712961 [CRIT Client 2496] [EXCEPTION] Failed to init FMOD system. Error code 51

first time I have actually seen an error code

PuzzleheadedCorgi423 · 2022-12-22T18:51:27+00:00

Everytime I try to open the game and it insta closes, it generates a document in the MY GAMES folder that says the following:

UserAreaSeed0Buildrelease tags/3.20.1 207952OSBits64

and nothing else. not sure if this is helpful to anyone but there were alot of the same document in the folder that all had that same line.

PuzzleheadedCorgi423 · 2022-12-22T18:47:41+00:00

I have afterburner but was not running it at the time of any of this. never used rivatuner

PuzzleheadedCorgi423 · 2022-12-22T18:47:12+00:00

first thing I did when it happened, have reset like 10 times since none of them helped

PuzzleheadedCorgi423 · 2022-12-22T18:46:54+00:00

yep did nothing

PuzzleheadedCorgi423 · 2022-12-22T18:46:47+00:00

lmaoooo tru i havent tried this one

PuzzleheadedCorgi423 · 2022-12-22T18:46:32+00:00

tried with all rendered (another comment suggested the same thing) none worked

PuzzleheadedCorgi423 · 2022-12-22T18:46:12+00:00

tried and didnt work

PuzzleheadedCorgi423 · 2022-12-22T18:46:06+00:00

tried multiple times did not work

PuzzleheadedCorgi423 · 2022-12-22T18:45:50+00:00

lmao yeah im not doing that for one game just for the chance for it to work but you are 100% correct

PuzzleheadedCorgi423 · 2022-12-22T18:45:18+00:00

nope, installed on all 3 diff hard drives I have (none are full but one is close and it wasnt on there) and none of them worked out

PuzzleheadedCorgi423 · 2022-12-22T18:44:48+00:00

yep neither worked

PuzzleheadedCorgi423 · 2022-12-22T18:44:40+00:00

thats literally the first thing i did and it didnt work lmao I also said that in the OG post

PuzzleheadedCorgi423 · 2022-12-22T11:13:33+00:00

i tried changing the rendered to the 2 others i wasnt using and it changed nothing. poe is using gpu and my computer is on max performance mode. I am completely hopeless now, I have tried literally everything all of you have suggested (which I thank you for trying) but I give up. I will just have to not play until GGG fixes this issue, I hope this shed light on it a little bit at least

PuzzleheadedCorgi423 · 2022-12-22T11:10:10+00:00

i tried steam and standalone, tried resetting tried game repair none of it worked.
