POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen

Game did run perfectly on Windows 10, on AMD 3950x with 32 GB Ram amd a 3090RTX.

Did change to Windows 11, all games so far 100% stable.
Changed Hardware to AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 8-Core Processor 4.70 GHz
64GB Ram, still the 3090 Card.

Game Crashes under Windows 11 2024H2 randomly. Sometimes runs for hours, but when it crashes, it only does on map change or loading screen, never ingame.

All other Games are Stable so far not 1 Single crash. Only POE2 keeps crashing. It really kills the fun of the game.


-----> Turning Multithreading off = no crashes ... turning it on crashes on loading maps or areas ... turning it on crashes on loading. I bet it is still a Problem with cores not getting right information. No other game has issues on 9800x3d for me strange. With only using 1 core, does not make sense even if stable.

Same exact problem. Things seemed fixed for awhile started freezing more today when entering new maps. Will have to revert to turning Multithreading off again until resolved

just wanted to let you all know that the 24h2 bug has not been fixed even though they said they reduced cpu usage in some situations. just happeed to me 10 minutes ago. pleasef fix soon GGG love you.

I am having the same issue. Crashing more than 50% of the time on loading screen
RYZEN 5 5600 with 3080 rtx

Maybe now GGG starts seriously working on the issue?

Damn, this will cause a lot of trouble, haha.

I am also having this exact issue. Glad to know it's not just problems with my system (although I've rules that out at this point). It happens about 1x per day, completely random, but always while at that map loading screen.

Please fix the crashing.... it's very frequent (4+ times per the last couple maps I've tried to run) and the game is unplayable at this point.

12900K/4090/64GB ram on Windows 11 23H2.

I've run all the troubleshooting possible.

No issues with other games, I would consider this a game-breaking bug and would highly recommend this get put to priority number one.

Crashing is now worse with the latest patch than before.
crashing every 2/3 maps and trying to log into the hideout as well.

Also happens now on Vulcan, not just DX12

also on an X3D AMD CPU...

GGG please fix the freezing/system hard locks so that I can play over this long weekend. Thanks!

And yet more despite patch from a couple days ago. Hard crash of entire machine. Three finger salute doesn't even work, requiring hard restart of the PC, not just the game (which can't be stopped due to the crash). Already sent in DX particulars.

Intel I7-10870H
16gb RAM
NVIDIA RTX-3070
Windows 11
All updated.


4x in the last f*ck1ng hour.

Scratch that. More than 10. Essentially unplayable.
