POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen

"setting the pathofexile.exe affinity in Windows Task Manager (through the Details tab) to use less CPU cores."

This seemed to work for me, so far. I changed it to run on 14/15 cpu. The gears in the loading screen stop and seem to want to jam but don't. They start spinning again and then I get loaded into the instance.

Probably to do with having to repeatedly Power Off your PC to escape the complete lock up freeze.

I understand. But if users buy such hardware, which is supposed to be stressed from the power offs and the hardware manufacturer intentionally introduced protecting mechanisms, it MUST be okay. It MUST work. And if some part cannot deal with it, if they fail, like unparked HDDs heads, damaged SSD firmware, damaged VRMs or condensers, as a user you have to ask them - why the f..k you sold me shit? My PC will freeze from time to time because we have millions of reason for that: from the regular blackouts to bad ring 0 programs! If Reset / Power buttons are not enough to restart the system safely, give me an option to do it or make it safe!

Fortunately in most cases it's safe. But as you can see we have plenty trashy hardware and their manufacturers don't give a fuck about the reliability. It's not GGG fault if your hardware cannot sustain typical situation when the ring 0 level software failed and hang entire system up.

Bro you are a professional make-shit-upper. Lol.

Ask to change ACPI 2.0 to something else if you think it's not enough against power outage. For example "green-brown" way used in the aircraft equipment or something like that.

Anyway, atm crashing entire PC without involving ring0 stuff from the ring3 is impossible. And if it's possible - blame the guys who let that happen. It's Microsoft, your components driver developers, NVIDIA, AMD, etc. They are responsible for the vulnerabilities in the KM.

Prove me wrong with the arguments.

So when Stuxnet was bricking Iranian centrifuges it was actually Windows and Siemens in the wrong?

In cases where system is completely frozen even an ACPI-compliant soft shutdown may not complete. If there is no ACPI event processing ability, ACPI does not work.

With ACPI 2.0 the risks drop significantly. Around one in a thousand. This is around the same probability as having a flight delay. So not impossible but not usual.

But again, why should someone be taking this risk? Would you expect when launching a game that it might brick your hardware? (Also reminder: A normal person wouldn't even know that they would crash again and again and again, because there is no warning from GGG even on day 23 of this "bug".)

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

Yes. it's called security vulnerability. Never heard about that? And it works like a swiss cheese. When we're working on kms / drivers we always take into account that its routines can be called with shitty unfiltered data to provide the attacker the advantage and control over the entire system. But if your system is complex and sophisticated enough, you can't be sure you checked everything on all layers.

Just for the instance check how many CVEs (and here) we have all over the world. You'll surprised.


Are you still sane, exile?

We spend 30 or MORE dang bucks to play EA, and we can't even play it, SMH.... I have AMD 2700 and GTX 3060 32GB ram window 11 all updated.. haven't found anything that works.
https://github.com/Kapps/PoEUncrasher/releases/

Use this, it has completely fixed the hard crash issue for me. Still getting the odd crash to desktop while playing, but no more loading screen pc lock ups.
bump
as i said previsoulsy don't use HDR ^^

Plza use Poe uncrasher or BES limit -3% -5 working
but i really think act 1 => bad optimize

i was act2-act3 with BES solution => no crash
i replayed act1 cruel => 4-5crash (7hour playing) with BES solution
i go back main char on map => soms days and 0 crash

plz send spec/dx diag and ACT or where u crash :) i'm sure it can help GGG

because for thoose not Dev ^^ crash => they catch exception and send info
but freeze = no catch ^^ they don't have information

when using portal => map loading so long too :( in other act or map there is no pb

hope ppl can understand and send lot of info like this ^^
