POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen

Bug has become much more frequent this week and the game is pretty much unplayable on my system. Anecdotally it seemed like Windows' patches Tuesday was when it changed but could have been 0.1.1. There was a brief time after 0.1.0f hotfix 1 where loading seemed much better but now it has swung hard the other way.

Still broke on 9900k Win10 22H2

Hello

Having same problem a week now , it's very frustrating to the point it made me stop playing the game , PLEASE FIX THIS GGG !!

It seems to be worse now with the latest patch.
I tried 3 times to log in tonight and crashed at the loading screen each time. It's frustrating dealing with this on a brand-new PC. I'll wait to come back to playing this until this is fixed.

Windows 11 - 24H2

Just had this happen to me tonight on a fresh install of windows.

9800x3d 4090

Windows 11 24H2

The second i loaded the character entire pc just froze fans all went to rainbow puke rgb had to fully power off and reboot.

I launch the game via Steam and click on the screen after seeing the GGG logo.
There is the 2-gear animation and I hear a song.
Then the game crashes. 100% of the time.

Getting old, This has been happening more now than it has. I can't even log in to the game any more with out it locking up my system to a hard boot. I've already lost a old mechanical hard drive due to the hard boot. System wont even see it any more. Good thing it was just a spare i tossed in the computer to store movies. But at this point i have to put the game down. I've made it to maps but did not experience any of the story as any time i went to a new zone or cut scene is when the crash happened.

The engine multithreading toggle has obviously been exposed to players as an option because the game is absolutely unplayable without toggling it off during load screens for many.

What i don't understand is why the devs will not automate this process so affected players can proceed through the game normally without this massive hassle??? Crazy and irresponsible imo

Worse with new patch

After the patch yesterday, I got two problems with POE2.

The first one is entire pc hardlock/freeze randomly. It is more often during boss fight and when the boss changes to a second stage where the terrain or stage switches. (the random pc lockup existed since the game launch last month,I waited 1 month to see if it got fixed. So my charater is sill below lvl 30. Really bad experience, GGG can't solve this issue?)

The second one is a new error to me. I'm getting "unrecognised task serialised by server; missing registration?" error and the game closes when teleporting to team mate.

I also noticed that my 9800x3d CPU usage sometimes goes up to 100% and temp over 90C. It falls down after few secs but then may go up again quite oftenly.
Tried to limit the cpu core usage on the game process seems to help but it can't solve the "unrecognised task serialised by server; missing registration?" error and still crashed oftenly (less pc lockup maybe due to less cpu core usage).

My system spec:

9800X3D, 64GB DDR5@6400Mhz, Win11 24H2, RTX3070 Ti, WD SN850X 2TB
