Grinding Gear Games says it has finally resolved two long-running NVIDIA-related problems affecting Path of Exile 2, ending an investigation that lasted around 18 months. The most notable issue involved recurring Device Removed driver crashes, a problem that had frustrated some players for an extended period.
According to the report, the studio worked closely enough on the problem that it even shipped a complete affected PC to NVIDIA for analysis. That detail underlines how difficult the bug was to reproduce and diagnose, especially when hardware, drivers, and game behavior all interact in ways that can be hard to isolate.
The update is significant for Path of Exile 2 players using NVIDIA graphics hardware, as driver-related crashes can disrupt gameplay and create uncertainty about whether the fault lies with the game, the GPU driver, or a particular system setup. Fixing these kinds of issues typically requires coordination between a game developer and a graphics vendor, particularly when the problem appears only on certain machines.
The title’s mention of champagne reflects how relieved the developers were after finally reaching a solution. For players who have been dealing with these NVIDIA-related Path of Exile 2 problems, the fix marks the end of a long technical effort and a potentially more stable experience going forward.
