POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen

Dear GGG!

Can't you just disable Engine Multithreading during the loading screens? It would be a massive workaround until it is fixed. I'm getting bored to disable it manually when i'm changing maps, and the game runs around 30 fps on my 5800x3d without multithreading and stable 120 with multithreading, so the difference is huge enough to make it worth switching on every time.
Unfortunately i can't use third party apps... please fix this.

Best regards,
bred

I haven't had a single crash yet, only high CPU loads during loading screens.
Now after the recent hotfixes, the high CPU loads even went down abit, so it got even better.

This is my setup for reference.

i9-14900KF
Z790-F BIOS 2703
NVIDIA Geforce RTX 4090 (v566.36)
DDR5 6000Mhz 64GB (XMP enabled)
Windows 11 (23H2)

Optimization for games in windows mode is off.
Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling (HAGS) is on.
I haven't messed with the cores at all.

In game-settings:

DirectX 12
Vsync Adaptive (144)
Dynamic Resolution on
Resolution 1920x1080
Upscale Mode NVIDIA DLSS
HDR off

Graphics medium to high

Nvidia reflex On Boost

Triple-buffering off

"definitive fix" telling people to uninstall a windows update that came out 4 days AFTER the launch and poe2 crashes started to occur... What about the 23h2 crashes, thw windows 10 crashes, the windows 7 crashes, the linux crashes, the xbox crashes and the identical poe1 crashes that started in april 2024. Another dumb dumb definitive "fix" lol

I have no idea why these people (bots) even post this shit here without reading a single reply, you can't even farm internet points on this forum like on reddit, why bother?

Average PoE player.

No other game is having issues. Same symptoms, stuttering followed by hard crash.

I just don't believe you're former engineer based on your statement. Did you test others thousands of 3D applications on thousands of thousands hardware / software configuration combos? God... And if you're actual engineer you had to work with the drivers and should know how the things are very fragile at this level.

btw guys make sure to try and get your comments in for the livestream on sunday, when they're doing a live podcast.

they should absolutely have it as one of their questions for the devs, regarding the status of this being fixed

Same problem here. This is not a Windows issue, it is a POE2 issue. Issue persisting since product was installed on a brand new build with entirely new parts. Running:

Mobo: X670E GAMING PLUS WIFI
Processor: 9800X3D
RAM: 32GB DDR5 @ 6000MHz
GFX: 4070 SUPER

Running on Win 23H2. The claim that rolling back Win to a previous version as a surefire fix is inaccurate. This works for some but not for others.

In game settings don't matter, as it persists through all variety of configurations.

Downvoted on Steam until a fix is implemented and play ceased for now. If no fix is implemented, I will refund the game.

I have the same build, except with a 4080 super, and I have the same exact issues.

You will have hordes of toadies on GGG payroll marching in to tell you that it's your rig's fault, and not the game. Be prepared.

another Day on GGG's office..
Honestly hoping today is they day they fix this crashes

I hope they highlight the PC crashes in the patch interview stream.

There's no point in discussing anything else with the game if you can't get past the damn character selection screen...

My fear with them talking to Twitch streamers is that they'll just get dumb, softball gameplay questions and butt-kissing.

I built a very similar setup except with a 4080 super this fall.

When these problems started happening during the first week of release, one of the first things i did was run stress tests with 3dmark to make sure it wasn't my system.
I ran a total of 200 loops with no issues, i stress tested it several times with the Wukong Benchmark aswell as played 100+ hours of it on cranked up settings, had no problems with any other title prior to PoE2 that i've played on it.

I literally was idling in town yesterday and it locked my PC again.

Whoever is arguing that it is not a PoE2 issue is illinformed and should just keep to themselves.

Your entire system crashes, not just PoE 2.
