Hard crashing PC locks up

Update has made the crashes worse for me too

Guys, GGG,

I was able to do 5 maps. Full clear, no bugs. Just two map crashed but not the pc.

After the 5th map, I came back in the hideout and started to get spike on CPU (from 5ms to 45ms) every 3-4 secondes. So lag in the hideout etc. Then after I go in a map, an PC freeze.

When I was able to do map. Shaders loaded very fastly and load too (entering in a map in less than 5s and same to go back to my hideout).

So, something happened between the time I was able to enter and do map. And the last comeback to the hideout . Immediately after spike of the cpu in the hideout, all was impossible to play.

Idk what loaded during this play time and when I came back for the 5th time, but I was happy and no sad again.

Hope this analyse will help.

i crashed to desktop on first map, then hardcrashed and had to reset in the 3rd map i give up, i'm hopeless :(((

all that after the update :/

they never gonna fix it

this is so frustating updated made the game unplayable f u GGG

I do not understand why they are wasting time with other issues at all when something this problematic is around...

It also irks me that they are still keeping that "This seems to mostly be for players with the Windows 24H2 update." line up. At least change that. We know this has nothing to do with Windows 11 24H2. It makes it look like GGG does not bother itself with this issue at all.

I ask anyone who encounters this problem to please give a negative review for Path of Exile 2 on Steam in a detailed and informative manner so that others be aware of the issue.

At this point there is nothing else we can do about the hard crashes. This is week 6! Write an eloquent review explaining this issue on steam.

Because I'm pretty sure GGG does not care about this and will not care about this unless that bar says mixed or mostly positive.

They censor the discussion forum, they don't look here, where can we let our voice heard?

I find it really fascinating that none of the big poe streamers have these crashes. I hope they will get them after this patch. If someone like Zizaran or Quin will get them, you can expect a fix for this crashing in 24h. This is sadly how todays companies operate.

This. I 100% agree if Ziz, Darth, Ghazzy or any other GGG golden boy had this issue it would be fixed or we would have a statement from management about it being out of their hands. They wont say anything concrete to avoid liability and are likely afraid to point the finger at anyone else. It will probably get fixed silently in a hotfix.

I know its not a 100% solution for everyone but if some rando can create an app in an afternoon to monitor the status of PoE2 and change cores/priority accordingly then the devs who just made millions from paying customers can add a toggle to disable multithreading on load screens. It cant be that hard and we know this works 100%.

Im using a 4060/7800X3D/32GB-6000mhz/B650M-P/Corsair-750w all drivers uptodate and on latest (non beta) bios and have only had 1 CTD in hundreds of hours of playtime but PoEUncrasher shows the game is still trying to crash every couple of load screens. I dont dare to try again it without.

Played the last 2 PoE1 leagues and 30+ other games on this machine on Win11 23 and had no hard lockups. Only thing stopping me from downgrading is that i have no rollback option and other comments from those on older OS's.

First login for me after the patch logged into hideout successfully with multithreading on! Good sign.

better watch them cpu temps during load screen lol even if ur not crashing still nukeing cpu during loading screens mid maxing all ur cores just FYI xdd

CPUs are manufactured to work under full stress. Hell, people use prime95 24/7 to test their cpu overclock stability. Stop spreading fear. But i really hope this crashing nonsense is fixed, would like to play the game without using poe uncrasher. If a random dude on the internet can fix the game, its baffling that a full studio of paid developers cant.

Few days ago some random dude told me in this topic he bought his CPU and shitty cooling system because he didn't plan to load it up to 100%. As you correctly said, CPU are designed to work at 100% load, but there is no chance you can convince someone else here. If they see high CPU utilization the panic mode turns on automatically :D

poeuncrasher literally doesn't "uncrash" the game. Read the code, it only automates the process that user can do by his hands without using 3rd party software. The program parses client.txt for specific substring matching the regex pattern with some delay and sets affinity of your CPU, then reverting it back. Moreover we have plenty of people reported that setting affinity doesn't help at all. So it's not fix, it's bandaid, workaround. It may help to someone, but it's very unreliable. The actual fix must be implemented in the code, reviewed, compiled, tested, merged to production and compiled again (the process heavily depends on the developing paradigm).

For some reason you still don't understand the problem has way wider scope than you think.

That last update didn't work for me too, my PC keep freezing 2 min after i open a map and i have to hard reboot it.

if you use ssd, be careful, after such a hard freeze of the pc my ssd broke, thanks "ggg"

ps
use old hdd, it's a separate hell of a game in poe

I'm still having this issue and was hoping the patch would fix it.

The multithread "fix" though, is killing my FPS, and it's making me die a lot because of it.
