just started yet i'm hooked!! it's the kind of ARPG i'm looking for.. much better than D3 or Torchlight 2. Very revolutionary.

changed my avatar and sig just for it today. Awesome game

so quiet thread...

yes it is common especially when you enter via Town Portals/Waypoint/new area. I experienced it myself till the point it's severely annoying ... 3/10 times it will crash my game when entering a waypoint/portal/next area. Resulting in me losing my current map progress (need to kill all the minions again after I load the game )

It's something to do with the game's memory mgmnt... Doing this will ensure such errors won't appear again. (or crash) :

Open the command prompt (cmd.exe) with administrative privileges
Enter "bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVa 3072" and hit enter.
Restart your computer

plenty of forum posts and using such a method here and there:

By typing the above command and restarting the PC it does something to the memory which will help PoE in a technical way (not sure what but it helps la). Basically it's the devs fault for making the game run in such a way the error actually triggers on certain Win7 machines (not sure about 8 could happen). Hopefully one day the devs will resolve this bug.

In future if you don't play PoE di then just remove the command with the below at CMD (it does something to your memory so it's better to remove it once you don't need it - noticeable once multitasking or minimizing large apps):

"bcdedit /deletevalue IncreaseUserVa" (let me know if this is not the right code been some time since I've used it). Source: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/wi...v=vs.85%29.aspx
