PC | Game Keeps Freezing my PC When Loading Locations
|
I'll throw my hat in this ring of sadness as well:
- Windows 11 24h2 - Ryzen 9800x3d - PoE on a Samsung 990 Pro - 64 GB DDR5 6000 - RTX 3090, various driver versions including the latest which just released today Facts of the issue: - only ever happens during loading screens, PoE runs perfectly apart from this - causes a complete system freeze if the PoE process is allowed to use all CPU threads. Every thread is permanently pegged at 100% use, but it's not actually doing anything. CPU temps remain very low, it's obvious the CPU isn't actually doing anything despite Task Manager claiming 100% use. here's a screenshot with me having disabled 3 threads for PoE: https://imgur.com/a/3FsfCiZ The issue started happening as soon as I built this new PC and installed Windows 11 24h2. Prior to that I was on 23h2 on a 5800x3d and had no issues. - if I manage to load into the first couple of zones, it's usually fine for hours and hours afterwards, until I close and restart the PoE process. Workarounds: - Disabling at least 3 CPU threads for PoE guarantees that I'm able to kill PoE using task manager without having to restart my entire PC. 2 is usually fine, just 1 usually still locks up the system. - Disabling engine multithreading before zone transitions and enabling it again afterwards is a 100% guaranteed workaround Things I've seen suggested which I've tried which do not work: - DX11/12/Vulkan - Setting CPU power limit to 98% - Disabling Windows Game Bar - Disabling nVidia overlays |

Just want to update in case it can help someone else. I rolled back to Windows 23H2 and it completely fixed the issue for me. Hasn't happened in a couple of hours of playing.

" Same here it's the windows update, 24h2 it's breaking the game. I rolled mine back as well not issues. It's even on POE 2, had it happen to me a couple times while playing and said fuck it and installed 23h2 now it's fine. |

" Roll back to 23h2 windows, that will fix it. |
