Hard crashing PC locks up

Sounds like where is different bugs since seems like downgrading to 23H2 and setting core affinity to half cache cores and half normal cores fixed the thing for me. Like it did for others in this thread
At least much and much better since I had no crashes for 4 hours for now.
I'm not sure if cores affinity is mandatory in my case just won't disable it just in case :)

UPD: nevermind just crashed

I can only encourage you to install the optional update ‘KB5048162’!

have had it for days, didn't fix a single thing. it's the game that's completely broken

I am on a 7800X3D RTX 4090 and had zero issues during the first week, roughly 40h of gameplay, being on Windows 11 23H2 and the latest Nvidia driver. During the weekend I did a fresh install of Windows 11 and landed on 24H2. Now the game is unplayable, it freezes and hard locks my pc. The same applies to PoE 1 so it might not be attributed to PoE 2 specifically. No issues in other games, Discord however also freezes randomly at times.

Other than the jump to 24H2 I also updated my bios (agesa 1.2 0.2b) but I don't think it is related to that. I run a negative curve of -30 on all cores (extensively tested and stable during the last two years) so yeah, at least on my end it might be a 24H2 issue. Apparently there is an update coming sometime this month so fingers crossed.

I've been freeze crashing constantly and have actioned nearly every suggestion in this very long thread without success. The only thing I've avoided was rolling my OS back from 24H2.

3 hours ago, I turned off GAME MODE in windows settings and POE2 ran fast and smooth without any crashes.


This has to be some sort of coincidence!!

I have to sleep... give it a go to humor me :))

When you use Game Mode, Windows prioritizes your gaming experience by turning things off in the background. When you’re running a game, Game Mode:
1) Prevents Windows Update from performing driver installations and sending restart notifications

2)Helps achieve a more stable frame rate depending on the specific game and system.

1)Pretty simple.

2)Game mode achieves this by granting the game priority access to hardware resources.

So yours is placebo. Like many others we have tried in this thread.

Also as I know for ryzen 7900 and 7950 it's driver which is controlling cores parking rely on xbox game identification. At least some tech guys on yt say so.

Bump for visibility

Another bump for visibility.

Still since Day 1, not a single fix or workaround has worked. Issue exists in both games when using Directx12 or Vulkan. Bumping.

Bump for visibility. Just want to try new game, but crashes destroy whole feeling :(
