Hard crashing PC locks up

This is a bug fix so we won't know until path notes come out- i'm guessing this is part of the reason patch notes are not posted yet trying to fix the issue, but that is just speculation and hope i suppose...
"
From this, it seems clear that PoE2 is putting an extreme and sudden load on the CPU, which is likely causing the temperature to rise rapidly and probably causing the crash.

Haha here we go again... after hundreds of pages.

BOOM Problem Solved

yeah, so easy. Why devs can't figure out? 100% you're right!

Even with process Lasso to limit my CPU core usage down by 4 the game still freezes and takes a long time to even crash.

at least with process lasso my pc doesn't freeze and require a power hard-reset.

Each power up and boot sequence is a small stress. There is a slight chance to damage the hardware in case if your components don't meet the industry standards (ATX / ACPI) or deviate from them.

Can anyone guide me through where to download 23h2 windows version? I don't know what else to try at this point.


Play another game until fix.

There is no reason to reinstall OS for one single game.

I might have accidentally found something when messing with game options. PoE2 was crashing and forcing a hard system reboot unless "Engine Multithreading" was disabled -- forcing me to choose between awful performance or game stability.

However, today I was testing the upscaling options; NIS/FSR/XeSS/DLSS -- and found that PoE2 would always crash hard unless upscale mode was set to "OFF" on native resolution & dynamic resolution disabled. With upscaling off it would 'only' crash to desktop -- not a perfect solution but alot more bearable.

Sidenote; without upscaling and anti-aliasing the image quality can overall look worse due to jagged pixel edges, but you can force FXAA through nvidia control panel to smooth the picture by a bit.

Hope it helps.

Did you check CPU load during loading screens?
Throwing this observation into the pile:

My first session after rebooting my PC I can usually play for several hours without issue. If I close the game and re-open it without rebooting in-between, the crashes are extremely frequent.

This might be why so many people seem to think they fixed the problem after making some random change but then come back the next day with a "nevermind".

Yes.


How so? If you only doing turn off PC that any cause losing system files other than that, I can't find any reason for damaging CPU.

Sadly this is how I play and I hard crash.

Upscale OFF.
Dynamic Res OFF.
