Early Access Bug Reports - POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen - Forum

No Crashes for 24 hours+ I was getting a lock up every hour or so. Turn off Hardware accelerated GPU scheduling. No performance impact for me and stable. To turn off hardware accelerated GPU scheduling on Windows, you can do the following: Right-click the Start button and select Settings Select System Select the Display tab Scroll down and click Graphics settings Locate and toggle off the switch for Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling Restart your computer for the changes to take effect Last edited by Akaos74#2503 on Dec 24, 2024, 10:54:33 PM	Posted by Akaos74#2503 on Dec 24, 2024, 10:54:20 PM Quote this Post
I'll try the "Turn off Hardware accelerated..." and see if that works. I just built a new AMD PC with a 9800X3D and, of course, this issue seems to be primarily affecting AMD. I can't try any old versions of Windows Update either since I did a clean install. Sucks because POE is the only game I've been playing lately... I can set my old Intel back up I guess...

Still waiting for official fix and going back to DX12. How did you fresh install 23h2? Did you roll back or reinstall an old ISO of Win 11?

I got old 23h2 ISO and installed from scratch.	Posted by volkhin#7085 on Dec 25, 2024, 1:07:58 AM Quote this Post
With inventory being full after every 1 min, using teleport to vendor with this bug is hurting the experience extremely!!! Please fix!	Posted by yoyoxt#3738 on Dec 25, 2024, 3:08:03 AM Quote this Post

UPDATE I spoke too soon, not more than 20 minutes after writing the post, my whole PC locked up again. Spoiler I have a 9800x3d with a 3090, I was not able to play at all with multithreading on, 100% crashes, most of the times on first load. I tried almost every fix in the 278 pages of this post, the post below 100% worked for me, almost 5 hours of straight gaming with no issue. I get a solid 130 FPS on the caravan. It might be a small FPS hit but way better than 30 FPS without multithreading Merry Christmas, follow the steps, go back to D12 and Multiprocess, un-"affinity" your CPUs, this works.

+1 It is so annoying since launch, please help. Reinstalled windows, looked up every fix ppl are suggesting. Nothing helped. Still those damn freezes, wihout turning cpu core 1 and 2 off for poe 2 the whole pc is freezing. No problem with any other game so far. Happy Holidays!
