POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen

"This is how I see it. If the game is freezing, then the fault lies with the GGG. If the entire operating system freezes, then Windows is to blame.

How does removing 2 core from affinity making it so that the system is fine and just poe 2 remains frozen factor into this unified theory of yours?

What about the people on Linux? It's still Windows at fault there right? Or are entire Linux distros just faulty too?

Hello everyone i am making a follow up on my first post here from yesterday.
I can confirm that i have completely eliminated all freezes/hard crashing for myself, However it required a few specific things to be changed.

In windows disable "Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling" under advanced graphics settings and then restart pc. In game set renderer to vulkan, Vsync to adaptive, nvidia reflex off, fsr no upscaling, foreground and background fps to no higher then 60fps, and everything else defualt. Setting fps cap above 60fps immediatly started causing my pc to freeze again.

I would recommend anyone experiencing pc freeze after updating windows to try this exact setup. If you try this just make sure that nothing is being written to your drive at the time just incase your pc still freezes, as it can cause corrupted files. Other than that there should be almost no risk to your actual pc hardware.

I hope this helps everyone, and i wish you all good luck!

So i tested 30 games on my PC and the Problem is only with PoE, yeah, totally Windows Update fault that this is happening only in PoE1 and 2 and how u explain that even Linus Users has this freezing problem? Bad new Windows Update right? There was also already people who have the problem still with the old Windows Version

AND this Problem had PoE 1 already a few years ago, bet also Windows problem right? Bad Windows always, seems Microsoft hates PoE thats why they integrate a crasher in the latest Window Version that PoE has no success X)

You're absolutely full of shit, you didn't test 30 games. Also, if you do a bit of research you'll see that there are many games that have issues with 24H2 and even Microsoft has communicated this themeselves.

I really don't understand why people in this thread are so damn stubborn. Just downgrade and you'll see for yourself how the issue is resolved.

it's.that.simple

Hey exiles. I just sat on my toilet and thought of everyone who crashes like me and needs a full pc reset after spending 30$. Feels good to be here after 2-3 weeks, right where I belong, as I might as well have flushed $30 down the toilet along with my goods.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Using the PoEUnCrasher app and switching from DX12 to Vulkan - not seen a crash in days, now.

Using PoEUncrasher, tried Dx12 and Vulkan, I still crash on both... any idea what I might be doing wrong?

I see the prompt that it is working correcly, the app parks my cores and all... but it simply doesn't recover from the freezes and I always CTD.

PoEUncrasher doesn't help everyone because some people (like me) need to disable more than 2 cores to get the game running.

I park 9 out of 16 cores to run this game. Everyone's system has different limits and this game is pushing everyone's systems to their limits.

Some people can run the game with just 2 cores disabled. Some people need to disable more. I don't know if uncrasher can be configured to park more cores or not?

Can you explain how I get this issue with Win 10?
Can you explain how people in this thread with Linux get it?
Can you explain how people who never had "upgraded" to Win 11 24H2 has this issue?

Also I have explained the difference between Win 11 24H2's problem and the one we are experiencing with PoE2. Multiple times.

In best case scenario you are spreading misinformation, at worst you are a troll.

In case you want to educate yourself:
That particular Windows 11 problem is that Windows' "New Feature" was blocking the program's access to system resources, therefore crashing the program but never crashing the PC itself.

The problem PoE2 has is that the program is hogging all available system resources due improper usage of system APIs, therefore crashing the program AND the PC itself. (Technically it crashes the OS because OS can no longer get the resources it has to in order to function properly).

Furthermore, I ask anyone who sees this message to please give a negative review for Path of Exile 2 on Steam.
