Consistent daily crashes

Bug Reports
1

I have had consistent daily crashes since reinstalling Last Epoch on April 17th. The crashes generally all happen the same, the game stutters for a few seconds and then just closes. Occurs once every 2-3 hours. I went to ChatGPT to try and troubleshoot and over the course of 3 or 4 days ran through all the troubleshooting suggestions.

Problem:

Bug Report: Runtime Crash – NullReferenceException in Localization

I’m experiencing recurring crashes in Last Epoch due to a NullReferenceException in the Localization system.

This occurs randomly — sometimes during gameplay, other times just standing in town.

Stack trace excerpt:

Exception System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at Localization.InitializeTableCaching () at Localization…cctor () at LE.UI.MultiPicker.AffixContentGenerator.OnBeforeAssembliesLoaded ()

What I’ve tried to fix the problem:

  • Full reinstall (Steam)

  • Verified files

  • Launch options tried/tested: “-force-d3d11”, “–disable-background-caching”, “–nolog”, “-noaddressables”, “-disableubf”

  • Cleared cache: %AppData%\LocalLow\Eleventh Hour Games (no Unity\cache folder found)

  • No mods used

  • MSI Afterburner disabled for testing

  • All overlays disabled (Steam, Discord, NVIDIA, Gamebar)

  • Game whitelisted in Windows Defender

  • Running on Samsung 970 Evo Plus SSD

-In-Game Graphics settings changed

-Updated GPU drivers

-Verified XMP is stable

-No background programs running (Synapse, GHub, NZXT, etc)

System Info:

  • RTX 3080 Ti (Driver 576.02)

  • Windows 10

  • i7-9700k

  • 32gb 3,600 RAM

  • Samsung 970 Evo Plus

  • 1440p Resolution

  • Game v1.2.1.1 / Unity 2021.3.42f1

Crashes can occur both during gameplay, and while AFK. Crash is consistent in the error logs, receiving the same type of error every time.

Confirming same long-standing issue.

Sometimes I can play for quite some time before it occurs, but once it happens it will continue to happen with dramatically increased frequency.

The only thing that seems to “reset” this is to try again after the PC has been shut down for a period of time. A quick restart does not “restart” the timer.
