POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen

I have managed to fix it finally. Today I played whole day with hundreds of teleports without issues.

***How to disable SMT/Hyperthreading/use only physical cores?***You could disable SMT/Hyperthreading from BIOS but that's not the optimal way as virtual cores will be completely disabled. That can hurt performance, especially if you have programs running in the background when playing.Instead, I use a program called Process Lasso, where I can select which cores any application can use, so I can make POE2 use only physical cores while background applications can still use virtual cores.Quick guide on how to do that:1: Download the free version of Process Lasso from Bitsum2: Install it wherever you want and open it.3: Then open POE2 and get to the main menu.4: Tab out and go back to Process Lasso. You need to find the "poe2.exe" process.5: Right click it, select CPU Affinity > Always > Disable SMT / Disable Hyperthreading.6: To make Process Lasso run in the background when you boot up your pc and apply these settings every time you launch the game, go to Options > General > Configure Startup and set the Management Console (GUI) Startup to "Do not start at login" and the Core Engine (Governor) Startup to "Start at login for ALL users". Click Next and then Finish.

You can disable SMT in BIOS as well but this program will disable it only for PoE2 automatically.

It disables SMT virtually but still you will be able to use all cores which for me is only -10 fps.

I have tried all fixes, updates, bios, card, disable affinity (this only fixed freeze of PC but not crashes) tried 95% core fix, nothing really helped me I was searching internet all days since launch but nothing helped until this SMT. I know it is compromise but it seems tha engine has problems with SMT technology an if you will seach internet this issue is in PoE1 as well for quite some time.

Follow tutorial from reddit and let me know if this helped.

Thank you guys, good luck !

No updates from GGG, I can count more than 100 restarts (no kidding) since game release. I don't care about any other bugs because it's normal on an early access, but this is damaging and completely broke the pc and the experience.

At least GGG should communicate and explain all the work that I hope they are doing to fix this ASAP.

Hey, download that program and disable with it SMT for PoE2. There is how to do it in that post.
