Hard crashing PC locks up

Never thought I would go through all of this... I'm 38yo now but feeling like a 12yo grounded by parents and not being able to have fun like all my friends.

Sad.

Yesterday I played all day without any issues (+/- 8 hrs).

After new hotfix I even get freezes while playing instead on loading screen

For those who are having the issue where your PC hard freezes during loading screens, either this tool or the manual workaround (setting the process affinity of PoE) might help: https://github.com/Kapps/PoEUncrasher/

Can't thank you enough, at least now it doesn't hard crash or having to manually toggle multithreading everytime I TP.

I've had "solved" the issue by turning off vsync in NVIDIA panel, however, after the last patch i can't play again. Thats really awful.

still not fixed

Guys there are even more crashes after latest patch, this is incredible, and they are going on holidays now?

Last patch made this problem MUCH worse for me. Used to have it every 1/10 load screens, now I can literally not log in to any of my characters.

Only workarounds I found:

- Disable Engine multithread before taking ANY loading screen.
- Disable CPU0 and 1 in Core Affinity, so if the game gets frozen, you can still close the process and avoid a hard lock.

Playing with 2 less threads cost some FPS, specially in combat.

Doing those two I have avoided all freezes for two days. It's very likely that Engine Multihreading is causing the freezes on its own. The CPU affinity is just for security reasons.

Any GPU adjustment WILL NOT WORK. The issue is with PoE2 code specifically with how it handles CPU.

Any measures that lower CPU usage/consumption have an impact, but do not fix it entirely.

THERE IS NO REAL FIX.

same problem :(
ryzen 7 5800X3d
Win 11 24H2

I think they are silent because they themselves do not know how to deal with this problem.
