Hard crashing PC locks up

So id say the first 2 weeks of playing the only issue i got was a few CTD's which while annoying didnt really impact my play experience.

However id say in last week ive had 3 hard crashes, 2 in last 24 hours. Its very random cause i can play for hours with nothing happening then out of the blue it happens.

Im very reluctant to play now - im on Win10 so im guessing it doesnt matter what OS you are using. Its annoying but i suppose maybe taking a break and hopefully the devs can sort something out in the new year.

anyone who is complaining here without trying this is just a troll and doesn't deserve any further help.

PoEUncrasher isn't a 100% workaround. It worked for me for a few days, but the problem has returned. Yes, I'm running the latest version and with admin perms.

Same issue here,

Spent hours trying everything i could find on internet to play this game, nothing works.

I will not downgrade my windows just to play this.

Now i can't even log on my char, the pc crashs on the loading screen.

I'll wait they fix this to come back, to much money invested on a pc to risk it on constant hard resets.

I've been trying to tell everyone about this fix but no one is seeeing it, put the game in real time priority either in task manager or process lasso, it will eliminate all the freezes/crashes

It doesnt fix anything here.[/quote]

does it still freeze after putting it to real time priority?[/quote]


yes im trying now realtime priority + disabling core 0 + 1 as recommanded

People, i think i found solution at the moment

I tried everything. Nothing works to be honest, to avoid game freezing
Of course, You can use coligation to avoid total freezes but game still can freeze

I realized that the bug rely on threads schedule nad maybe there is a problem so ... i turned OFF SMT (on AMD) in UEFI. Right now - i have raw 8 cores/8 threads (instead of 8/16) but ... game dont have any problems anymore. Works fine, without freezing from 2 days

On Intel - it is called HT as i remember.

Try to turn off and see if will helps You

btw. - "turning off" SMT on process Lasso doesnt work, You need to disable it by hardware, in UEFI

Sorry bro already tested this - not working (7800X3D).

Struggled since day one to be able to play the game.

Played the game with lots of workarounds for about 60 hours.

Realized the game actually sucks. (check out feedback forum)

Stopped playing it.

THAT is the true fix for crashing.

I understand that is not helpful for the determined type, but trust me, the struggle is not worth it. The cake is a lie.

I think you are missing the point.

PoEUncrasher is a third party program. People shouldn't have to be use a third party program to play a game they have paid (at minimum) 30$ for.

GGG should have put a warning on steam, and on here about NOT playing the game if you have encountered this "bug". Because it is harmful.

The reason why most people are here is to receive a FORMAL AND OFFICIAL response from GGG.

A single misleading sentence at Known Issues is not communication.

Asking for dxdiags and not checking them is not communication.

Asking for DMs when people who haven't managed to play the game until ACT 1's end or reach level 25 cannot DM is not communication.

And again, all PoEUncrasher does is crippling your PC for PoE2 so that it can survive against PoE2's all-mighty freezing ability. It doesn't fix the game's problem, it only makes it so that your PC survives when it eventually encounters the problem.

And once again. Is the creator of PoEUncrasher getting paid for his wonderful app? NO. They created a workaround for a problem GGG cannot fix for FREE, if GGG does not have any money left to pay for this great service I say fire some developers from GGG and pay the creator of PoEUncrasher instead. What are your thoughts about this?

A multimillion dollar company owned by a multibillion dollar company backed by world's second richest country and her government has a faulty product. And it takes some random person to make it work...

Furthermore, I ask anyone who sees this message to please give a negative review for Path of Exile 2 on Steam.

Doesn’t work. Crashed the whole pc with SMT off in the BiOS

what about the people who still crash using this tool?

Real shame this hasn’t been acknowledged or fixed. I’ve left a negative steam review after trying to get 4 refunds that were denied. Worst launch of any video game I’ve ever seen and biggest waste of money. Saddest part is is the game is actually good and when it fixed I will submit my soul to the grind.

I’m trying to find the logic behind the lack of communication:

1) they truly don’t know what’s causing the crash and don’t want to speak on it until the bug is identified and the data has been analyzed.

2) they know what’s causing the crash and it is a complex issue in the code and is taking longer than expected to fix or they simply dont know how to fix it

3) they know what’s causing the crash but it requires support from other companies (Microsoft, Intel, AMD, nvidia)

4) they know what’s causing the crash but are worried by acknowledging it publicly will be off putting for potential buyers, especially during the holiday season

Regardless of the situation, it is disgusting that they can’t even say something like “Hey guys. We’re aware of the crashing issue requiring a full pc reset and will keep you posted on our progress here” - just anything would be better than nothing. I’ve said it in prior posts that this is behavior I’d expect from an Activision, Bungie, Ubisoft, or like blizzard. But honestly while those companies are greedy and their games are littered with MTX, at least they promptly fix or acknowledge when something is game breaking. The whole situation has rubbed me in such a poor way that despite the game being good I just don’t even wanna support it. Really kinda just wanna get my $30 worth and move on
