Hard crashing PC locks up

It seems that issue also applies to the AMD X3D CPUs, which looks to be the culprit.

The PoEUncrasher had been working great for a while. But I experienced a hard crash today. I hadn't played in a while because it's ridiculous to have to circumvent this issue without an official patch. I wanted to check against recent updates, but apparently it has not been addressed.

I'm on AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and a 4070 TI Super.
I wouldnt expect a fix anytime soon. Poe 1 had the same multithreading bug for years without a fix still. They have no clue how to fix it and would need to hire out to go over their code.
I am sure they would love to fix this with all the bad reviews about this issue.
I get 10 crashes a day but I love the game so i power through it but I have two friends that stopped playing because of this.

Given how long this issue has existed and how little acknowledgement the matter has received from the devs its pretty clear to me that this inst a priority to GGG. Their lack of communication regarding this makes it explicitly clear that they have plenty of players for whom the game is working fine and they don't care to invest any time/resources for a subset of players they don't need. I think this issue will not be fixed anytime soon, if ever, and this entire thread is being outright ignored. Big shame bc the game seems amazing but I'd rather not play at all than mess up my pc with the constant crashing.


They are going to need to fix it soon. Every other Windows version is going EOL soon and the X3D CPU is the #1 selling processor for gaming. Hopefully they do it sooner rather than later or this thread is going to pale in comparison to another on launch day.

I was able to resolve this issue by doing the following:

1. Uninstalled all Armory Crate/ASUS software (specific to my MB)

2. Updated BIOS to latest ver

3. Joined "beta (stable)" tier of Windows Insider Program and ran all available updates (including optional updates).

4. Set custom settings for POE2 in Nvidia Control Panel:
a.) Image Scaling: On
b.) Anisotropic filtering: App-controlled
c.) Antialiasing - FXAA: On
d.) Antialiasing - Gamma correction: On
e.) Antialiasing - Mode: App-controlled
f.) Antialiasing - Transparency: 8x (supersample)
g.) Background Application Max Frame Rate: Off
h.) CUDA - GPUs: Use these GPUs: GeForce GTX 2080 Ti (All)
i.) CUDA - Sysmem Fallback Policy: Prefer to Sysmem Fallback
j.) Low Latency Mode: Ultra
k.) Max Frame Rate: 144 FPS (to match my monitor refresh rate)
l.) Monitor Technology: G-SYNC
m.) Multi-Frame Sampled AA (MFAA): On
n.) OpenGL GDI compatibility: Auto
o.) OpenGL rendering GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti
p.) Power management mode: Prefer maximum performance
q.) Preferred refresh rate (Dell S2716DG): Highest available
r.) Texture filtering - Anisotropic sample optimization: Off
s.) Texture filtering - Negative LOD bias: Allow
t.) Texture filtering - Quality: Quality
u.) Texture filtering - Trilinear optimization: On
v.) Threaded optimization: On
w.) Triple buffering: On
x.) Vertical sync: Off

5. In-game settings:
a.) Renderer: DirectX12
b.) Display: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti
c.) Mode: Windowed Fullscreen
d.) VSync: Off
e.) Dynamic Resolution: On
f.) Window Resolution: 2560 x 1440 (Native)
g.) Upscale Mode: NVIDIA DLSS
h.) Max Image Quality: Quality
i.) Sharpness: 15%
j.) HDR: Off (not supported)
k.) Texture Quality: High (Default)
l.) Texture Filtering: 8x Anisotropic Filtering
m.) Lighting: Shadows + Global Illumination
n.) Shadow + GI Quality: Low (Default)
o.) Sun Shadow Quality: High (Default)
p.) Number of Lights: High (Default)
q.) Water Detail Level: High (Default)
r.) NVIDIA Reflex: On + Boost
s.) Foreground FPS Cap: 144 (matches monitor refresh rate)
t.) Background FPS Cap: 30
u.) Triple-Buffering: On
v.) Target Framerate: 60
w.) Engine Multithreading: On

This obviously strictly applies to NVIDIA cards, but some of this may still be useful regardless. Hope this helps!



I have no words


he forgot some steps to work though

6- get blessed by the pope
7- put a philosopher's stone next to the cpu
8- cast wish
thank me later.

Ppl just use PoEUncrasher (if u crash on any loading screen) or wait for fix. There is no other ways.

Ever since update recently POE uncrasher didn't save me, teleporting from map back to Ziggurat refuge would crash on that loading screen. Not sure if using my hideout would be better I just prefer the Ziggurat.
Daily +1 :)
Thanks guys! Philosopher stone trick worked for me.
Problem with waiting for fix is- it could be in 6-12 months if we lucky, coz they don't have a clue what's causing it
