Comical at this point that this isn't fixed yet.

They honestly shouldn't have released the game until Jan after their vacation. Just plain stupid to have no one working on the game during the holiday. I work in development and we have team members working during the holiday to address urgent issues.
Wait, so is this same issue in PoE 1 or no?

I cannot imagine any company being okay with key workers leaving on vacation when there is an issue as drastic as this.

Unfortunately for GGG and to some extent Sixjoy I was not alone in my thinking. At this point all I hope is that whoever that is going to be sacked is not good, hardworking, and passionate people like Jonathan or Mark.

Someone on GGG developer team failed miserably, and then hid their incompetence until it was too late. While there was a problem on higher-ups' decision making I cannot fault them for not wanting to delay the game any longer and miss the peak sale period.

A sad affair... What a loss of face.

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.

So knock on wood I may have stumbled upon something that works for me. I too was getting frequent hard lockups and having to restart my computer. I got so frustrated with it I started looking at what tasks were running in the background in Task Manager. I happened to notice Meta's OVRserver process was running all the time and taking up about 15MB of RAM. I thought that was weird since I wasn't using my Oculus/Quest VR headset. I killed the task and it immediately reopened. Tried again, same thing. So I then went into windows services (search "Services" in windows task bar) and saw that it was set to run automatically. I changed it to manual startup instead, shut my computer down (not restart), then turned it back on. I've had zero crashes since. Granted it's only been 24 hours, but 24 hours without a crash when I would rarely make it more than 30 minutes previously is incredible. Do other people experiencing crashes also have Oculus/Quest VR headsets and associated software on their computer?

Investigate loading maps that are too large. Fixes the non optimized video card issues and the compounding lag. Smaller maps.

Nah, never owned a VR headset, but still experiencing full PC lockups. Would be awesome if it worked out in your case though

It is. I can't play poe 1 either right now cause I'm crashing there too. Was originally just the season but now its affecting my standard characters too.
Haven't played in about 2 weeks now. The crashing is just bad. I have done all to countering it except re-installing windows the past update. Not doing that if other games work fine at the moment so giving Last Epoch another try. I really want to play this but man.....so frustrating.
Fix this problem already. All my friends are playing and I am stuck at lvl 51!
