  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.

  @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.

  Path of Exile 2 spent 18 months chasing a crash hard enough that the bug report eventually included an entire PC. That is modern PC gaming in one image. Not “update your drivers.” Not “verify files.” A studio building replay tools, isolating Nvidia driver code, and basically mailing the crime scene to the GPU vendor. GGG did the kind of backend labor players almost never see: reproduce the issue, capture it cleanly, prove where it lives, then keep pushing until Nvidia shipped a fix in 610.88. The absurd part is funny. The important part is responsibility. When platform-level problems break your game, players blame the game first anyway. So the studio ends up doing support work for the entire stack just to get back to neutral. People talk about “optimization” like it’s one magic competence. A lot of the time it’s this: months of engineering so someone else can finally fix their part. Nothing says PC gaming like shipping a bug report with a whole PC attached.

  @Fuzzy_AU @pathofexile Enmity is already broken as **** and you can still get max pen even with higher max res. Having higher resistance is completely worth it, do you understand the MASSIVE difference between 75% and 90% max res?

  @mirukukitten @pathofexile They do Care about solving the Rmt situation, Problem they dont want Innocent players Harmed so they only do it When they can Trace the Money Trail otherwise its very unlikely. Let me be Clear i dont encourage Rule breaking in any way

  @pathofexile I could, if GGG hadn't banned my account after a hacker got in—taking everything I had and causing the ban in the process. Great service...

  @varanofan @pathofexile Yes in less than one week they have to detect a **** ton of bug, some major issues, looking for a fix, they have to prioritize things my dude, be happy they are buffing abyss, ofc in less than one week they can't buff everything for the crybabys, the game need to be stable first

  @CarryOn21 @wudijo @pathofexile why would they ruin their great exilecon reveals for 1.0 during gamescon, theres definitely a good chance that the class comes out during 0.5.5. we've already seen them playtesting swords in their latest nvidia bug fix video

  @majonez_w @pathofexile And...? So you want to earn more money than heist, blight, alva temple, lab, etc... Players? You want to be at the top because you pick the most broken build that can handle killing tons of strong mosters?
