It is absolutely RIDICULOUS that you guys have not fix or acknowledged this issue yet. Im done with this game.

It has been acknowledged and is being looked into. You can see that very easily by filtering by dev posts on this forum.

I mean... ok yeah technically they did acknowledge it. With poor communication about whats the cause and whats being done about it. Leaving us to risk it, or guess on fixes or work arounds. And then they dipped for 2 weeks for the holidays... If this was blizzard there would be outrage. When its tencent (GGG) its fine..?

Their response is bellow the standards of what a company who just made $30m+ beta testing their game should be. They are not a little indy company anymore and do not deserve some sort of free pass for a massive f**K up.

I know there is plenty of people already reporting it, more data helps to understand better.

I was monitoring the cpu/gpu cuz I thought my crashes were due overheating, but I was wrong :)

100% cpu usage :/

I just uninstall the latest windows 11 updates to test, if I find anything different I will update this reply or add a new one.

Ryzen 5 3600

Not 100% - higher, from my tests - 137% was the peak

this is a core problem with their proprietary engine and they DELIBERATLY dont adress it ... and are even refusing to apply at least a simple workaround by offering a option to automatically disable engine multithreading during loading screens and on loading the game itself.

Theres thousands and thousands of players affected by this, and only a small fraction will report about it, and now look at the size of this thread and do some statistical predictions.

I have this crash for YEARS in Poe1 and thats one of the main reason why i quit the game .

To pretend that they have no idea what this is about and to act with standard requests for DXDIAG files which NEVER have any useful information beyond the most basic crap is just deflecting and stalling. What the frack is this .. no way the never encountered that themselves in all this time internally playing their builds.

Same issue with RTX 4080 & 9800x3D, can't believe this still hasn't been fixed.

This problem got better for me after removing CPU affinity for a few cores and reducing the amount of apps running concurrently.

"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.

For anyone wanting to set CPU affinity automatically, every time you launch Steam-based PoE2, I have a tool that will do it for you: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3671877

this worked for me now, about 50hr no hard freezes. useally got one every 1-2 hr

edit:
the log displayed by the PoEUncrasher app can show when a hard freeze is also been avoided by the app.
yesterday i have had plenty such entries, no freezes tho. lets see whats in for today
