Game won't load

As the title said i have problems loading my characters in game. 95% of my characters won't load, i just see the gears move for like 0,2 sec. then they stop and my whole pc just freeze if i play on fullscreen, if not i just get program not responding message.IF i somehow manage to load character then my game just freeze after short time.

I had the same problem and found a fix. I'll write what I did that worked for me, hopefully that'll help you too.

You need to download an older version of your nvidia drivers (here's the link to the one I downloaded: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/210648/ )
Before installing it though, you need to go to your Nvidia App settings. There, you will find something along the lines of "automatically download version of drivers" that is toggled on by default. You NEED to toggle it off otherwise it will download the latest driver after you finish installing the driver you previously downloaded.
After that, you can install the driver I mentioned and the game will work.
I don't know if this matters, but I did "run the application as administrator" thing you can find in priorities of the launcher so if it still doesn't work with the fix I mentioned before, try doing that on top of it.
So i am little confused, installing older version of nvidia drivers really helped me but sometimes i still get this game freeze on location change, there's like 10% chance that my game will freeze and it makes that particular character not accesible so i have to log in another character, wait a bit and then i can log in that previous character. It's wierd man, i just hope it won't be like that when 3.26 come...
Updating and rolling back didn't help, I saw a guy that formatted his whole PC for this, Which seems to be way too ridiculous to do to be honest to get POE1 to work? Maybe devs needs to fix this.
ive the same problem my gpu is 3050TI after i update the driver i got an issue the game shader cache and and cpu usage goes so high because GPU does not work well tried to rollback but that doesnt help i dont know realy what to do
