Don't think I've had a crash in the rest of those games (got a 9800X3D and a 4090) and haven't seen much on those games crashing in general either in 24h2 as far as a hard system crash. I've played multiple UE5 (several hours in Marvel) games without issue and yet I got this 100% loop bs a whole mess of times before I gave up on it. PoE's crashing issues are entirely different. Its either the code or something to do with DX12/Vulkan because even Linux has issues with it and I'm pretty sure they are using either Proton or Wine, which are more or less Windows API emulators for Linux.

Making assumptions based on personal experiecne is a bad practice. Because you, I, other people have very small and limited sample size. We have reports from users with the similar problem playing different games and from UE developers that can't compile shaders safely without getting a crash.

Anyway. My question was about the roots of the problem. Don't you think if the user space program hangs the system up and not allowing to process interrupts there must be something really serious on the deeper layers of the system and not just "loading CPU to 100%"?


Not making assumptions, only adding personal experience from what I've seen on Reddit etc. More the reason I'd point to code its done it on multiple platforms, Windows 11 24/3/2H2, Windows 10 and Linux and on a range of hardware. I have seen some reports on AMD gpus but not nearly as many as Nvidia but I think that is more market saturation more than anything. I've seen this issue happening on both Intel and AMD processors about equally so I don't think its anything to do with CPU platform. So I'll ask you straight up, Why would you think it happens in Linux and Windows alike? Seeing how there system resources are handled entirely differently and their kernels aren't even remotely similar.
Can confirm Poe uncrasher works. 9800X3D 4080 super haven’t crashed in over a week 10+ hours

Same here, Ryzen 7 6800 + RTX 3070
At this point GGG should be employing the creator of PoEUncrasher. They definitely did more for the PoE2 than the devs did.

Imagine having to use a third party program to play a game you have paid 30$, 100$, or more... And the company not caring for a month.

Furthermore, I ask anyone who sees this message to please give a negative review for Path of Exile 2 on Steam.
I cannot send/reply to direct messages because my in-game character has not finished Act 1.
What to do:
1)Write a short review about the hard crashes in notepad.
2)Copy and paste it to steam reviews, put up a negative review.
3)Copy and paste it to steam discussions, put it up there.
I used to be in these threads daily... and then I gave PoE Uncrasher a shot. Game changer. 1 Week and 10 hours no crashes. Every thing on default settings. 9800X3D and 4080 Super. Whoever made that is GOAT level

Still waiting for a real fix tho.

I used to be in these threads daily. Then I heard a voice—

Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.


I called. The voice said—the game is pretty bad right now, NGL.

Yet I remain in these threads daily.

PoE2: A good, giving game
I am using PoE Uncrasher, and it still crashes, but not as often. I am just fresh off a crash and came here to see if there was any update. If I uncheck "Engine Multithreading" in-game under Graphics, it seems to help, but the game runs at very low frames in town.

7800X3D
4070 Ti Super
Win 11 Pro 24H2
Maybe don't release before going on a break next time.
