POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen

"
SOO much 3rd party things got to do for this game.... First DL a loot filter, second use a trade macro to check prices ect. Third go in browser to buy things from people. Fourth, DL a CPU program to limit your CPU atm. Download path of building if you want to max your build. Just sooo many things that GGG makes convenience.



This.

I start the game then tab out for either build related, or trade, or lag / check resource usage, etc.

Item filter issue should be resolved either via game design (make drops more meaningful instead of item spam) or add at least some type of item filter as an in-game option (using check boxes instead of writing code).


Regarding the main thread topic, I'm testing Windows 11 on a test PC and there are too many problems.

For those that game and have issues, I highly recommend Windows 10.


For now, I care more about the current issues being resolved than getting new content out. Also I don't know if I'm willing to spend time redoing everything if they make a new league.

Another day another lack of any sort of meaningful action from GGG.

That's why, once again I ask anyone who encounters this problem to please give a negative review for Path of Exile 2 on Steam in a detailed and informative manner so that others will be made aware of the issue.
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.
i solved the problem for me, hurray!!!

i tried everything.
poe crash helper, changed cores manually, tried all graphic settings but nothing helped. i got complete freezes of system and had serious network issues (high latency spikes).

now all of that is gone.

roll back the latest nvidia driver to
GeForce Game Ready Driver 560.94

560.94 does not work. Dont try
Had crashes to desktop (no pc freeze in loading screen)

RX 7900 XT
Ryzen 9 7900

Underclocked my GPU and now I could play without crashes, earlier I crashed once every 10 minute.
Don’t worry guys. They are still very aware of this issue. Thank you for your patience.
Just a stupid anecdote, but I've gotten so annoyed with this issue that I took this opportunity to clear one of my SSDs and setup a dual-boot to Ubuntu.

No, I'm not excusing the situation.
No, I'm not endorsing this as a "fix" as it's in no way anything other than a workaround at best.
No, I'm not even suggesting people bother to jump through the flaming hoop of getting all of this working.
I did this purely because I work daily on hardware running Ubuntu and it seemed like a good idea to further my Linux skills for work.


I just think it's funny that in 30+ years of PC gaming it took this to get me to try "Linux Gaming" and the install/learning process was very pleasant.

I've enjoyed my last 8 hours or so of gameplay.
Bump!
had a windows update yesterday, no crashes yet after 7 hours gaming, not sure whether it fixed it for good, we'll see
