Game freezes every 5-10 minutes

Every 5-10 minutes the game would freeze for a few seconds and then sometimes unfreeze or other times disconnect to main menu. Is anybody else having this issue and is there a fix for it?

Yes, I have the same issue

For me it's almost every 25 minutes, give or take a few. I've timed it.

I initially assumed it was a server issue, but now after some tests I know it's not the case.
The same thing was happening to me in PoE2, the screen would freeze, I'd get the gears spinning, then it was 50/50 whether I'd get disconnected or be able to resume play.

It does not happen when I play standard, non-league PoE 1 (I just tested, played for an hour with zero disconnects). I switch back to Mercenaries League and I get disconnects every 30 mins or so. Something that has been ported from PoE2 into Merc League is causing these issues.

If anyone else has these problems, I encourage you to time the space between disconnects, see if there's a regular period that they happen.

This is right before the crash

I am also experiencing a similar issue, it seems the pause feature is keeping the game from crashing to login every time but it happens quite regularly. Sometimes my game will freeze for a moment before the screen blacks out and I'll see the loading gears center screen. Other times the it will freeze and then send me to the log in screen shortly after.

I've noticed either occurrence often being preceded by having a tooltip on my cursor i.e. monster loot on ground, a chat linked item, looking at a character gear piece (including mercenaries).

I can have multiple freezes or crashes in a map, I can go many maps without issue, but I haven't had a day of play without it happening 15+ times over several hours.

I am also having this problem. Seems to only happen when using a movement skill like Shield Charge for me. Usually it disconnects but sometimes it'll make the screen go black and then the zone will pop back in 1 tile at a time.

Yeah exactly same thing happening to me, if anyone finds a solution or support response please tell.

also having this same exact issue and its really starting to get unplayable for me, i can go hours without it happening then suddenly it pauses and sends me to main menu every 3 minutes or so randomly.

both just idle in hideout and in maps.

Having this same issue as well. I REALLY wish the devs would say they're working on this.

Same for me, seems to be getting worse last 24-48 hours. I'm on the latest Nvidia driver that dropped today I believe. Specs: 7800x3D, 4080, DDR5 running DX12. It seems to be around every 20-30 min for me at least. It's honestly starting from deterring me from playing the game at this point

Same issue here, please fix it :'( i can't play 1 hour without a crash like that
