Hard crashing PC locks up

do NOT let the devs fool you into thinking this issue is a windows issue. 5 of my friendgroup who play, all crash. all different cards, nvidia/amd all diff types, diff cpu's, diff versions of windows, one of us even runs on linux ffs.

this is a POE 2 issue and GGG are hiding behind the microsoft update because it sounds better than "we don't know how we fucked up and we don't know how to fix it" they got a shitload of the diags, should be easy enough to find the pattern, and an issue this severe should have all hands on deck until its fucking fixed. not put what seems to be 2 guys to try and figure this shit out, nearing on 3 months of an unplayable fucking mess and i can't refund, can't do shit. I didn't want to, but i'm going to, i'm charging back the purchase of this fucking game, you cunts at GGG can eat my fucking chargeback fee. i won't be returning if this is how you're going to be acting moving forward, and notice, zero mention of compensation to all of us effected who cannot fucking play.

thanks for stealing $40 off me GGG. FUck you, i'll be getting that back real soon, about to call the bank and tell them i was sold a scam. and when i get refunded and you're hit with that chargeback fee, i hope theres 100,000 more behind it and any money you made from this bullshit early access period, is eaten by those fuckin chargeback fees.

I wholteheartedly agree but let's not be disrespectful. That's just what they want, an excuse to censor and shut down the thread and stifle and discussion about this gamebreaking issue. I want to keep these two 4000 reply threads on the first page so everyone that comes here sees it, maybe they won't buy the game if they realize the devs don't care about people that either can't play or need to rely on some random background application POE uncrasher just to play.


Disrespectful is GGG, we've paid for an access and we don't have even more information than "We working on fix".

This is disrespectful. We've paid money to support them and they pay us back by omit this problem.
I think, guys we are need to force refund our money. No more forced reboots.
day 44 of me having spent $30 but not being able to play poe2. this is more tragic than cyberpunk 2077 - at least you could load and play that game...

I agree, it's time to return the money.
I'm using PoE uncrasher from github atm and it works. I think if you're 1 month in and still can't play the game then just get a refund at that point. Ya'll can also lasso the system process manually if you want or you can play with CPU affinity in your taskbar.

There are so many workarounds that work atm. It takes time to code and fix this issue and right now it is a windows update problem since other games are also affected by this not exclusively PoE 2

ubisoft quickly released a patch that temporarily fixed this issue. GGG just don't give a shit. And it's not safe to use third-party software. In two topics with 4,000 comments and 2 developer comments in each topic, "we know" , then I think it's for a long time and it's worth returning the funds because there's no point in buying. By the way, they've been trying for a month now

PoE2 Hard Crash is not a Windows 11 24H2 issue.

PoE2 Hard Crash and crashes due to Windows 11 24H2 has no commonality between them.

I do not blame people who come here and tell that PoE2 Hard Crash is a Windows 24H2 issue because their only fault is to trust GGG's "Known Issues" post.

PoE2 Hard Crash is not happening due to an operating system issue.

PoE2 Hard Crash is causing an operating system issue.

PoE2 Hard Crash is not happening due to a hardware issue.

PoE2 Hard Crash is causing hardware issues.

Furthermore, 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.
I cannot send/reply to direct messages because my in-game character has not finished Act 1.
What to do:
1)Write a short review about the hard crashes in notepad.
2)Copy and paste it to steam reviews, put up a negative review.
3)Copy and paste it to steam discussions, put it up there.

So I updated my WIndows 11 today because it had an update, then I updated path of exile 2. I also think maybe it is fixed. I been playing for 23 mins and no slow downs or even stutters.

Windows 11 24H2
OS Build: 26100.2894

AMD Ryzen 7 9800x3D
64gb of RAM DDR5-6000
Nvidia 4090
obviously using a m.2 ssd

if something happens ill report back but its been i wanna say even smoother than I last played which was a long time ago.

edit:

When I was crashing I was on the following windows build:

Windows 11 Home 24H2
OS Build: 26100.2605

nothing else changed with my PC. I have been using the Dec 5 nvidia driver version 556.36

My motherboard is the MSI x870 tomohawk and it is on the latest BIOs update.


It's going to freeze soon, don't worry.


I played for an hour last night and didn't crash. I didn't have much time to play but I went to different areas multiple times. Didn't even stutter once when loading into different maps. It was smooth like butter. For sure I thought it would have happen sometime last night but didn't. I will be playing some more later today to see what happens.

Did you also update your Windows to my build?

Just sitting here wearing my POE2 hoodie wondering if and when I'll ever be able to play the game without destroying my hardware or buying a new rig...
