Hard crashing PC locks up

the poeuncrasher software linked above is legit, it makes the game work, loading can still take minutes long to some locations, CPU still always spikes, and yeah, I had some crashes, especially on dx12, but pc did not freeze either time

Okay, I think I found an actual fix. So setting the affinity of PoE to disable the first two cores will prevent your computer freezing, but PoE still gets stuck in a loop at 100% CPU without being able to make progress. When this happens, you can set the priority of PoE to realtime and whatever it's waiting on is then able to get scheduled and PoE unfreezes. You should then change it back to normal priority when the loading screen si done.

The new version of PoEUncrasher detects PoE freezing, and then does this to unfreeze it, resetting it after the loading screen automatically. The new version is up at https://github.com/Kapps/PoEUncrasher/releases/tag/v1.2.0. Note that you will need to run the program as an administrator for the unfreeze feature to work.

Hopefully this works for others!

WHOA - What is this?

Is this legit?

When using this, do we have disable the 1st two cores still? Or does this take care of the freezes automatically?

Do we need to anything other than running this when POE2 is running?

Hi,

My Windows Defender just detected that file as a Trojan and auto-Quarantined it.

Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml

Probably a false positive, based on heuristics behavior.

Wonder if poe built-in anticheat is responsible for this. To hard freeze windows without even ctrl alt del working you have to operate on lower levels than normal software should. I had client crashes, especially before switching from DX12 to vulkan, but never pc freezes. Windows always handled the crash.

Huh. Specifically Windows Defender? I can't seem to replicate that, Windows Defender doesn't flag it for me. I can see why some heuristic-based virus scanners might be sketched out by a tool by an unknown developer that scans through your processes constantly and reads information about them though (to find which one is PoE).

Please stop spreading Misinformation whether by accident, on purpose, or by not reading the thread. This crashing is happening on every possible system, every possible hardware configuration, and every single iteration of windows from Win10 every version from home to Pro, Win 11 24h2, 23h2, or any other version from home to pro. This is all GGG and Path of Exile 2 and its process in which it loads into the system. This is not the fault or Windows or any processor or any other hardware or incumbent software.

Please read the Thread and all the info being reported by the player base before pressing blame. This is all GGG and the Loading Process of the game.
