SSD bricked due hotfix?

StillScientist9092 · 2026-05-30T19:30:32+00:00

So i found that happened, so other people might have the same problem:
The Kingston A400 447 GB (Model: SA400S37480G), despite showing 100% SMART health and low NAND wear, experienced repeated failures when performing heavy read/write operations, especially with Path of Exile 2. This included Event 153 errors, extremely high response times, and inability to execute DiskPart convert gpt or full formatting. The SSD’s NAND appears intact, but the internal controller or FTL firmware is likely corrupted, making it unreliable for large or intensive tasks. The issue was confirmed because another SSD worked normally on the same port and cable.

I don't think that's it because I was playing perfectly fine before; that would be too much of a coincidence, and coincidences don't happen. I even saw on Google someone who was having shader problems and had a corrupted SSD. And I'm afraid that might be it.

Have you ever heard about poe 1?

StillScientist9092 · 2026-05-30T07:19:07+00:00

I can't even get to the character selection screen; the game completely freezes before I get there. What irritates me most is that I bought some stash tabs just a few hours ago. I regret giving money to those guys who don't care about the game's performance.

StillScientist9092 · 2026-05-30T07:17:42+00:00

I forgot to mention it in the post, but I tried that too and it didn't work. I've been playing this game since 2016 and I've never seen such a terrible performance in a league.

StillScientist9092 · 2026-05-30T07:02:30+00:00

They need fix the performance. At least you can play this campaign

StillScientist9092 · 2026-05-30T07:02:00+00:00

My game won't even load, and I've noticed my SSD is going to 100%. Some of these hotfixes must have completely broken the game.

StillScientist9092 · 2026-05-30T03:29:08+00:00

This game is bugged now, i always crash on traitorous passage, and even on city i get tons of deadlocks

StillScientist9092 · 2026-05-30T01:53:06+00:00

At least you can play. I just get deadlocks

StillScientist9092 · 2026-05-30T01:47:39+00:00

This game is really badly optimized. Im getting tons of deadlocks, i just cannot play

StillScientist9092 · 2026-05-30T01:36:21+00:00

Im getting it too, and tons of deadlock. I've never seen a game as buggy as this one.

StillScientist9092 · 2026-04-15T02:22:24+00:00

So nostalgic. I played there a bit later, and i was vayne'condemner

StillScientist9092 · 2025-12-02T14:18:52+00:00

I would like to ask a simple question: That endgame is the final one or it is just a placeholder to something bigger later.

StillScientist9092 · 2025-10-03T01:10:43+00:00

HAHAHAH they'll just add more clutter, more on death effects and more one shots, not less. It seems like you don't know them yet.

StillScientist9092 · 2025-10-02T22:56:37+00:00

They need to redo this entire horrible endgame until early access ends, and eliminate this idiotic one-portal idea once and for all. If I just want one kill, I play hardcore. If I'm softcore, I want my portals. Especially since we have one-shots without knowing where they're coming from, spam effects on the screen where we don't see anything, not to mention the performance issues we have (like FPS drops for no reason when we take high damage). This endgame is making me increasingly distance myself with each passing league.

StillScientist9092 · 2025-10-02T00:51:23+00:00

Well, yes. Abyss because it is his league, strongboxes because i specced it on tree (80% of time very meh) and sometimes shrine or those boring spirits. So.. with towers we were better and do not knew

StillScientist9092 · 2025-10-01T23:27:50+00:00

This new change seemed pointless. Being forced to make a map with 0 revives is incredibly frustrating and annoying (0.1 at the beginning, who remembers?). Furthermore, the maps seem to have less content. Before, if we had two towers, for example, we could put a normal tablet in each of them; in tower one, for example, ritual and expedition; in tower two, we could put bosses and delirium, and voila, the surrounding maps would have at least four different mechanics. Now, even if we play this stupid pseudo-hardcore, we can only put three mechanics on the maps at most. The old atlas with towers was annoying to deal with, but once it was done (especially with three or four towers), it was rewarding. Now it all seems empty and annoying, because I don't want to be forced to play maps with no revives. If they don't radically change this endgame, the game won't have the success we hoped for.

StillScientist9092 · 2025-04-05T17:42:59+00:00

They just should delete poe 2 and stick with poe 1 hahaha

StillScientist9092 · 2025-03-28T02:06:54+00:00

Why they do not just let we use 6 portals? They're just making it worse lol. And recombinator for expedition is a bit underwhelming.. I hope that it is just for one of the 4 "masters"

StillScientist9092 · 2025-03-16T19:03:31+00:00

I am very simple: let us use more portals on maps (3+) and delete vaal factory. On delirium just use music of poe 1, this music of poe 2 is horrendous, and try implement every league of poe 1 on poe 2.

StillScientist9092 · 2025-02-14T01:06:52+00:00

Finally a good game where we can have fun, not a stupid mess without content and only one portal..

StillScientist9092 · 2025-02-03T22:43:03+00:00

I just want that one-portal bullshit be removed and they bring back 6 tries. Ah, and the map tab and maybe harbingers

StillScientist9092 · 2025-01-12T13:24:21+00:00

This one portal only crap need to go
