POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen

Loading crashes are gone after clean install of Windows 10 22H2 (from 24H2). FPS aren't great still, drops from 80 to 20 in some maps / activities (Skeletal Arsonist build)

i5-9600k/4070ti/48gb RAM/nvm disc

It was fine until I updated to Win11 24H2 26100.2894 (from 23H2), now it's unplayable. Haven't been able to clear a single map yet without a crash. I rolled back to the previous Windows version with system restore, and a problem persists...

any update on this?

problem became much worse with last update. my pc completely freezes now ones every hour. mostly on map loading, but sometimes even on login loading screen.

Ya, CursorTarget is a paid shill who would have you install a VM to play this game (LMAO) instead of just demanding the company fix their buggy game that only runs on toasters. Time for an upgrade for him it seems.

No way in hell I'm going to risk bricking my 9800X3D and 4080 super on this unpolished fat turd.

Yeah 100% paid shill. You saw the payouts with your own eyes. Source: "trust me bruh". My suggestion works. With losing of 5-10% of FPS the game became playable for some people. Don't want to use it then don't use it. Is it simple? It is. Feel free to freeze constantly and whine on forums.

Your suggestion DOESN'T work, and consumers shouldn't be forced to do insane diagnostics and workarounds to make a product work. Imagine some kid asking for this game for Christmas, so his parents give him the money to buy it on Steam. It doesn't work, the kid can't figure it out, the parents can't figure it out, Steam won't give a refund, computer takes some kind of damage, parents have to jump through hoops to hope the CC company refunds the charge. You have zero perspective or empathy. Your bizarre defense of GGG for allowing this continue to be an issue is just sad.

Enjoying the deafening silence, everyone?

Kapps is a lifesaver and made his Uncrasher PoE1 compatible, bandaid fix but at least both games are playable now until GGG limits their multithreading on loading screens or Windows decides to make their OS good again.

Been tempted to use an opensource debloater tool and just say fuck windows in an attempt to see if that fixes it.

Okay, I'm done. Everything was fine until the latest patch. After the update, I started getting random freezes in the game. I can enter menus, open character info, and all the UI stuff, but the character and environment are frozen.
I cannot tell what triggers it. Sometimes, it happens in the city, and sometimes, it happens outside. I'm running the game on a Ryzen 7 5800X with AMD Radeon RX 6600XT.
It happens so often that I cannot complete a single area. The game was enjoyable to play but it's no longer usable.

Try enabling the latency meter by pressing F1 when the freezes start occuring, it could be a simple routing issue and the solution is to just pause the game and wait a minute.
