After a year and a half of rigorous testing and troubleshooting, the development team behind Path of Exile 2 successfully convinced Nvidia to resolve a persistent driver bug by physically shipping an entire PC to the hardware manufacturer.

- Development Milestone: Nvidia driver bug resolved after a physical PC was shipped to the company
During recent leagues, players experienced severe performance interruptions where the action role-playing game would freeze entirely for extended periods before recovering. The underlying hardware issue required direct intervention from the developers, who bypassed standard remote bug reporting by dispatching complete hardware to replicate the exact conditions triggering the freeze.
The fix brings relief to PC players who encountered intermittent freezing during extended play sessions, ending a lengthy troubleshooting phase between the studio and the graphics card manufacturer.
