Hard crashing PC locks up

Basically so far, disabling write on the shaders folder might help or deleting them non stop. They should have a pretty good idea how to fix those.

Could be skill issue on OP's part in troubleshooting since its a non loading crash. Us here are concerned with the loading crash but:

We literally have not played enough for consistently long sessions over the week that we didnt even have the chance to experience other bugs and crash. lol.

Ofc he was downvoted and told that his pc was already faulty and POE2 only exposed the fault.

I tried to get a Steam refund, but I was rejected.
I want my money back. I'm 100% OK with EA bugs, but this is bullshit.

Good idea to put something up on utube about this issue. Maybe clue in sites like Maxroll?


Perfect situation was if one of the big streamers had this problem. But oh well

I have a similar issue. The whole PC freezes up and the only solution is to restart it completely. I am not certain that the Windows update is the problem though considering that I am still on 23H2. I have tried limiting POE2's core usage through BES and affinity settings in the task manager, but I am still running into the same issue.

With the affinity limiting you should at least be able to avoid the lock-up, saving yourself from having to restart your PC via power button.
I cannot send/reply to direct messages because my in-game character has not finished Act 1.
What to do:
1)Write a short review about the hard crashes in notepad.
2)Copy and paste it to steam reviews, put up a negative review.
3)Copy and paste it to steam discussions, put it up there.
My workaround: switch to DirectX 11. Unfortunately it's not really working solution - constant stuttering and with high spikes in shader graph.
New patch is out. Looks like no fix for load crash.


0.1.0d Hotfix 3

Fixed two instance crashes.
Fixed a bug where Summon Raging Spirits failed to cleanup on death when they were killed on the same frame they were created.

Made a thread on this fix.

Project Lasso (Free)

Set CPU Limiter (Rule)

If PoE2 uses more than 90% CPU
for 0 seconds
Disable 2 cores
For 10 seconds

No more crashes =)

I am curious how many people in this thread are playing a bloodmage.

I started it and I didn't remember much crashing in act2 but a ton the 2nd day I got to play in act 2.

I have gone through everything in this thread and decided to just swap classes based on someone talking crashes and bloodmage. I haven't had a crash all the way through act 1 now playing sorc.

I have enabled win 7 compatibility. I have changed my afinity for poe to -2. I have also disabled integrated graphics in my bios. I had done all of that except the integrated graphics and was still crashing last night.

May go back to bloodmage and see if it was the integrated graphics which caused it....but I am enjoying not potentially bricking my pc for the moment.

Everything up to date.


Very interesting. I played a Deadeye all day for two days and didn't crash even once. Today I've been playing a Bloodmage and I've had two crashes with the error message "Signal queue failed."

My AMD drivers also crash when this happens, along with any other 3D accelerated application running at the same time, so not sure if it's the game doing it or the AMD drivers or some sort of combination, but it seems users are having this issue regardless of them having Intel/AMD/Nvidia.

My system:

Intel 7700K
Radeon 7900 XTX (latest drivers 24.12.1)
16 GB RAM
Windows 10
DX12
