Day 19. No fix in sight. GGG is still silent.

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



i did my part
I just played with the Uncrasher floating around the forums for an hour and a half. Tthe log I had up detected one crash and re routed it. I did not crash at all where as I normally would have had to have a reboot. My 9800X3D ran real hot when this happend like 90+ celcius... not sure if its normal to spike that high but I was able to play.... Need to give it some more testing. Was nice to be able to enjoy the game

I found work around for fix it. It's work for me

My PC 5800x + 3070 run on Windows 11 24H2

1. Open POE2
2. Go to task manager
3. Click details and find POE process
4. Right click on POE process and then click on set affinity
5. Disable 2 CPU on list(ex. i disable CPU14,CPU15)
ุ6. Right click on POE process and then click on set priority to real time
7. Enjoy

I am having the same problem after about the 6th hang up in the last three days. I am going to have to stop playing until this is fixed. But, I have had a happy 150 hours so I wont change my review on steam to negative until a week has passed. But I will change what I wrote to warn about this problem.
If you're playing Path of Exile 2 and have been struggling with crashes or complete freezes, you're not alone. I ran into the same issue, and after some trial and error, I found a fix that worked for me. The problem seemed to be related to the auto-overclocking feature of my CPU.

I’m using a Ryzen processor, and after disabling the auto-overclocking feature and setting the CPU to its standard settings, the game started running smoothly again. No more crashes or freezes! It might not be the perfect solution for everyone, but it's worth a shot if you're dealing with these issues.
Hi all, just a question i would like to check. Did your NVIDIA App optimize the game?

I reverted the NVIDIA app optimization and the game is running so much better, no more frame drops and stutters

What i have noticed is i updated my drivers a day before the crashing started, it then overwrote my game settings to "optimize" the game

The setting in the game, there is nothing to turn on AA with my current selection set, yet NVIDIA app has the option to off. Maybe it forces AA on to the game or something? i dont know where its finding the AA function.

Even with AA off in the NVIDIA app my game clearly has AA enabled when i play

This is just something odd i saw, might be nothing. But the game stopped crashing since i verified steam files and reverted this setting, been 11 hours last night and 6 hours so far today

i hope you realize leaving your priority on real time the entire time will damage your pc. it's not healthy at all. don't do this. you can fry your cpu or worse.

No, it absolutely does NOT hurt your CPU to set affinity.

Stop fear mongering because its a janky "fix" (which doesnt always work).

If your disabled cores take too much multithreading processing away from the remaining cores, the game just lags. The CPU doesn't overheat or overvolt, there's literally no physical damage being done by tuning cores off. You cannot "fry" your CPU by making it slower.

I'll throw in my .02 but he's talking about process priority, not cpu core affinity. I don't think setting POE 2 process to "Real time" will damage anything but it may starve other critical system processes and may lead to unresponsiveness. I could be 100% wrong but that's how I understand it. We shouldn't even have to be talking about any of this - come on GGG.
When can we even expect any response from the game developers? This is ridiculous.
