Crash when changing monitor or screen size + mouse not tracking

Note: I didn't realize I had posted this previously to the POE 1 forum thread, apologies.


I've been playing for months and with the 0.2 patch I've had an issue changing the monitor from my primary (laptop) to a secondary monitor. I also get the issue when changing from Directx12 to Vulkan (also to Directx11), and when changing from windowed fullscreen to windowed.

Additionally, the mouse does not line up with where the pointer is pointing. I read someone could fix it by changing their monitor size, but obviously I can't do that right now.

Yesterday I decided to try playing despite the same issues occurring, and I thought I'd share the mouse tracking issue in case it's helpful.

-On the main menu screens the alignment appeared to be correct.
-In the game, when clicking on any menu item, skill screen, inventory, passives, etc, the mouse would click on things above where the pointer was (by a half inch to inch, approximately)
-Alignment issue also when targeting enemies. This wasn't always the case, but most of the time it was. I couldn't spot a pattern for certain, but it seemed like it might depend where on the screen the enemy was in relation to me.
-It seemed like clicking on things like chests the alignment was okay (can't say for certain).

Update: I'm not sure what fixed it, but I forced my Windows to use the add-in video card (it had defaulted to the integrated card), and also installed multiple updates. I think it was switching the card that seems to have fixed it.
