Hard crashing PC locks up

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.

This disabling CPU0 and 1 doesn't work for me. The game still hard locks and I have to power down the pc. Why does this work for only some people on 24h2 lol.

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.
