Hard crashing PC locks up

Can someone post the list of PoE 2 threads and their priorities visible in the System Informer at a time of crash please?

I had 0 freezes before the 24h2 update, after doing the update I have to rely on the POEUNCRASHER, without it's a 90% chance that I can't load into the game after character selection.

I honestly want my money back at this point. Paid $30 to play the game early, and now just cannot without risking to brick my computer. Should have just waited...

Game constantly crashing for me. Above is "best case" where CPU usage stays around 85% when loading waypoints, starting the game.

In the recent weeks the crashing has gotten worse. I can't even load into the game anymore without experiencing hard crashing if I don't remove CPU0/1.

Load screen, crash. Map portals, crash. Character selection, crash.

Even restricting my game to only physical cores doesn't work; in fact it makes it 10x worse; CPU usage pegs at 45-50% 100% of the time and doesn't recover. Every single time I tried to load the game. It even stops taskmgr from being able to list tasks so I can't manually close the window/process or switch away from it.

Also CPU/01 included is guaranteed hard crash requiring reboot and the scripts I'm running don't even have a chance to react with how quickly it shoots to 100% CPU.

This is getting ridiculous.
I have Win 10 22H2 before I had Win 11 and issue still persist.

Load screen crash, Map portal crash, Character selection crash.

I reinstall everything and try every guide from reddit post, youtube and this forum.

Send Dxdiags to developers and nothing helps.

From my experience and trying everything already the problem is :

client and game optimalization - I cant go even to the menu and client instantly crash before logo

their coruppted database - After many crashes.I am finally in the menu, log in and would like to choose 1 of my 5 characters - game instantly crash.

nvidia driver - nvdia said is problem on their side and proof they gonna fix this in new version of driver.

cpu usage - multithreading - monitoring sofware for gamers - Norton 360 for gamers from Gigabyte. - Said pathofexile2 client is dangerous for your system- using 100 percent of your CPU.

Now I need to just wait and no reason to play.

Well done GGG.
OK- I am playing last 3 hours with zero crashes!!!

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700KF
GPU 4070
32GB rams

That what it was like until now:

I tried pretty much everything before today:
Reinstalled game maybe 10 times in total:D
Changed settings so many times- vulkan etc etc
Changed compatibility to open with win 8
Tried poeuncrashed
Tried switching core 0 & 1 off
Tried different settings on nvidia
Played with settings on bios
Tried different drivers for nvidia
Done full ssd format and reinstalled windows several times
Tried Win10 22H2 / Win11 23H2 / Win11 24H2
Bought new GPU!- Replaced 3060 to 4070

NOTHING HELPED

Today I took out 1x 16GB rams out of pc and left with 1x16GB still running
Surprise surprise but I PLAY FOR LAST 3 HOURS WITH ZERO CRASHES


I get that this solution may not work for everyone but I guess it's worth a try.

Next thing I will try tomorrow- will swap over the rams that I took out with ones that still inside pc to check if it's faulty rams. If it is, I will just buy full new rams. If not- that would mean rams are not faulty and problem is when I have 2x in at the same time.

Hope it will help for someone and hope it may be helpful for devs
Game still crashing so much it is almost unplayable. I just had to hard reset my PC three times in the last 5 minutes. Even the affinity workaround doesn't work anymore. Please help GGG, I want to play without bricking my PC by these constant resets.
Haven't had a crash since I turned off core 2 and 3 instead of 0 and 1 for the poe2.exe proccess, and stopped using poeUncrasher. Two full evenings of running maps and sekhemas trials without a crash.

I got the tip from another user here on the forum who also experienced better performance. I agree it makes no sense, but I tried it anyway.

I kind of also want to say that the game runs a bit smoother. But most importantly, no crashes... yet.

It might be, and probably is just a stretch of good luck that I had no crash but it might be worth a try for anyone else who is as desperate as I am.

Cheers.
