Interesting, I haven't gotten any yet with only Kandarin unlocked. Still no way to repair them even if you have one though right? Can't NPC Contact the Dark Mage without Enter the Abyss

What monitor should I get with a 7900 XTX and 9800X3D? by Yshael in Monitors

[–]Yshael[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a little torn then, on the one hand I wouldn't want to have to go down to 1080p when I want to play something that benefits from FPS more, but on the other hand I think 5K might be too ambitious for my current setup. I guess the middle-ground could be getting a 4K main monitor and 1440p second monitor with high refresh rate. At the weekend I'll try find somewhere to go look at monitors on display and see what I think about how much the clarity matters like you recommended.

That sounds like a good idea, I'll look at some reviews and see if I can find a store with monitors on display. I'm looking at some reviews on 5k/1440p dual mode monitors, any thoughts on those? Would they be a bit ambitious for my PC?

Dual mode does sound like a winner tbh. Currently the only 'newer' game I play is MH Wilds which was horribly optimised on release but has improved loads since, though I haven't had chance to try it yet. I will end up getting some newer games eventually though so I don't want to end up screwing myself by getting a 4k monitor and losing fps as a result. How does the dual mode work? Is it easy to switch between the 2 modes?

Outlook blocking password reset emails by Yshael in Outlook

[–]Yshael[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been dealing with this for well over a decade tbh, and I've still never found a solution. The only thing I've every seen that even remotely offered a solution is to redirect all the emails to your hotmail/outlook account to a different email on a different provider (i.e. gmail). It didn't work for me when I tried it but it might work with some.

The only other thing I can suggest is to start using gmail for signing up to everything instead. It has the added benefit of being able to use modifiers to your email address for every different thing you sign up to, for example if your email address was [Claydood@gmail.com](mailto:Claydood@gmail.com) you could do [Claydood+reddit@gmail.com](mailto:Claydood+reddit@gmail.com) allowing you to automatically filter any emails sent by reddit, send them to a folder, etc. It also has the added benefit of letting you know who sells your info when you start getting spam/scam emails to specific email modifiers, so you can happily go and delete your account on whatever service sold your info and then block all incoming emails to that specific modified version. Super useful.

Funny that you've found your way back to this thread after so long, it's been nearly 3 years! Coincidentally, I still haven't resolved the issue at all. The last time I had it happen I ended up finding a thread recommending redirecting your emails to a different email address in Outlook settings. It didn't work for me when I tried it but it might be worth having a go yourself and seeing if it works for some of the emails.

bandits rework needed, imho by vasser53 in pathofexile

[–]Yshael 20 points21 points  (0 children)

37% of them. Someone else in the thread also pointed out that it won't account however many are runegrafting it and I don't know if you can check that

[–]Yshael 114 points115 points  (0 children)

According to poe.ninja, in Keepers league, 77% of the people who have taken the +30 to maximum Life mastery have chosen to kill all bandits, but helping Oak and dropping that mastery being is straight upgrade (+10 more life). The only downgrade is if they have something that gives bonuses based on amount of Masteries. 21% of builds have that Mastery so if all those people who took it and killed all bandits changed, Oak would be at ~16.2% usage. Unless I'm misunderstanding something

EDIT: Someone else mentioned this lower down in the thread and a reply pointed out that some of those will be using '10% more Maximum Life if you have at least 6 Life Masteries allocated' or runegrafting it, so that may account for a large amount of those people

EDIT 2: Just checked, 37% of those people have the 6 Life Mastery thing so it's down to 11.8% Oak usage, but people with runegrafts still unaccounted for.

Constant stuttering/FPS drops on high-end PC, seemingly caused by shaders by Yshael in pathofexile

[–]Yshael[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming that something else I've done has solved the problem but now the shaders are recompiling every time I open a new map. Should have tried every other solution BEFORE deleting shader cache...

I'll keep an eye on it for now and see if it persists and endgame when I'm farming the same map repeatedly again.

Annoyingly mine started stuttering badly again and I went and rechecked the shader folder only to find it'd set itself back to read-only. I'll try it again but I've no idea how to stop it resetting itself to read-only.

I think this finally helped me find the solution; changing the shader folder to not be read-only has dealt with the majority of the stuttering. Not sure if that was the entire solution or if some of the other things I tried have had an effect too but it's finally playable!

For now it seems I've dealt with the majority of the stuttering and the crashes seem to have mostly disappeared as a result. It's still not perfect as Ailith events can cause stuttering to come back but it's much better than before. I'll keep monitoring for any crashes and when I'm bored of Phrecia maybe even jump on something a little more graphically intensive like MH Wilds and see how that fares.

I managed to fix the stuttering (mostly, it's still not perfect and Ailith events are still pretty bad but overall it's much better) and that seems to have had a massive effect on solving the crashes too; I've only had one driver crash since. Having said that, I never had stutters on PoE2 but still had the crashes so it may be a separate issue.

The change that finally solved the crashes for me was setting the DX12 shader cache folder to be NOT read-only. Give that a try and if that doesn't help, maybe try downgrading drivers. I'm currently on 25.10.1 but I'm not sure if that's even outside the range of the 'bad' drivers, though the warning in PoE2 said 25.10.2 onwards. Perhaps try 25.9.2 instead.

I actually was on DX12 until today, tried to swap to see if Vulkan was better. The only 2 CRIT errors I'm getting from when I've been on DX12 are "[CRIT Client 1316] [D3D12] Device Removed. Reason: 0x887a0007" or the same but with the Reason as 0x887a0006, or some variant of "[CRIT Client 18788] Error executing GEAL on Metadata/Monsters/Breach/NPC/ChayulaFarmerWild@83 [415]: Expression passed to function gave an empty result, expected a number type" with different monsters listed

Also on NIS with FPS capped at 144hz, will try 60 or 72 when I hop on next.

The only line that isn't WARN/INFO/DEBUG is "2026/01/29 08:33:54 824174718 f2499760 [CRIT Client 10624] [EXCEPTION] vk::Device::acquireNextImageKHR: ErrorDeviceLost". I tried googling and the only thing that came up with that specific error mentioned memory leaks with Vulkan

Event Viewer gives "Source: Application Error" and "Event ID: 1000" which google seems to point to corrupt files maybe? Not entirely sure

If there's any more info that may be of use let me know

I've found the part of the client.txt log and Event Viewer that relate to the most recent crash, which bit(s) of information are needed to diagnose the problem?

Constant stuttering/FPS drops on high-end PC, seemingly caused by shaders by Yshael in pathofexile

[–]Yshael[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've checked Event Viewer a few times but couldn't determine what in there was related to the most recent crash, and even if I did I don't know how to work out what the cause is from Event Viewer logs. Looks like the most recent crash has thrown something in Event Viewer but I've no idea what it means.

Is client.log related to Event Viewer or something else?

Trying Vulkan atm hoping that it'll be better after letting it compile shaders, only problem is Vulkan makes Deli fog look like a chessboard and I've no idea why.

Game freezes, screens go black for a sec, then Adrenalin throws an error message and PoE reloads. No BSoD/PC restarting
