Hard crashing PC locks up

Same here as well. 9800x3d, 4090, Win 11. It's happened to me twice during loading, entire pc bricks, and I have to use power button to turn off pc.

Same problem here, hard freeze on instance loading screen. Limiting CPU cores makes it so I "only" crash to Windows.
4070 Ti Super
7800x3d
64Gb of ram
NVME
Win11 24H2

I have tried Process Lasso adding a Cpu Limiter Rule
When CPU use is: 95%
For a period of: 2 seconds
Reduce by this many CPU Cores: 4
For a period of: 2 seconds

Looks like this worked for me. No crashes so far.

Also experienced the same issue from the first time I tried to tp to town. Had to reset pc and spend ages getting it working again. 7600x 4070 ti super brand new build with no issues in other games/benchmarks. Waiting for a fix before risking playing again.

imagine we spent 30$ for no access to the game xD

So I used a somewhat stupid method, which was to turn off multithreading in the game settings before loading the map, and then turn it on again after loading, and so on. Of course, this is very painful until GGG or Microsoft pays attention and fixes this BUG

This is the same issue that has been a thing in PoE one as well since the release of Windows 11 24h2.

I'm actually glad it's a problem in PoE 2 as well since hopefully this will now get the required visibility for this to get fixed in both games.

Same thing. Lenovo Legion 7 laptop. I hope for a quick patch because this is extremely unpleasant.

Game crashes on steam quite often (similar to an ALT+F4) ; with the latest crash locking up my PC, forcing me to restart it.

Yeah, I wish it was only $30 LOL

using Process Lasso to limit the CPU during loading screens seems to have done the job so far.
