POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen

Same freeze.
Mouse slows down - music continues and no way out other than taking power out.

Win11 (24H2)
9800x3d (undervolted)
4090 (undervolted - MSI afterburner)
64GB DDR5
2+4TB SSD

the same problem
3080 Ti
Ryzen 5600

played 250+ hours and all was okay.
Yesterday updated to 24H2, and now it is unplayable.

My temporary solution:

1.In Task Manager, I drop 1 core from availability to get by with POE (PC still works after POE freeze and there's no need to reset the PC).
2.Before changing the map, I disable multithreading, go to the portal, and after the map is loaded, I enable multithreading (it's a temporary solution, but I have no possibility to roll back to Win 23H2).

I tried many different things, and after turning off Nvidia Reflex it stopped freezing for me, been playing for hours without any issues.

Might be a fix for some

Ryzen 7 9800X3D
RTX 3080
Win 11 24H2 latest updates

This worked for me too. I also set the power management to most powerful.

without disabling any threads.

Ryzen 7 5800X
RTX 3090
Win 11 24H2 latest updates

If you recently (like in the last 10 days) updated to 24H2 you can roll it back in the recovery options. Go to Settings, search for recovery options on the left and select "Go Back". If the "Go Back" button is greyed out, you're too late.

hope they will fix it soon. didnt play since for a month now.

Mine always been off, and it still freezes.

Even though i might be jinxing it now, but i did not experience freezes since the windows update from today (or yesterday).
Anyone with similar experience?

Is the KB5050094 released the 28th? Didn't check yet because I'm honestly scared of bricking my computer. Did you experience a lot of hard crashes before?

Windows Update KB5050092 for 23H2 is available in preview mode now.

^doesn't look like anything other than a fix for an issue with the Windows Update service itself.


However, I believe there's also a new Nvidia GeForce Update coming today as well. Hold onto your butts for that one!

Crazy that this is still going on. Getting really tired of having to restart my PC based on a dice roll if a loading screen is safe or not

I agree unfortunately my game was freezing then for a long while I've been fine lately its been running like crap and now I'm back to getting full lockout freezes. The problem is as much as I want to play there is no way I can justify having to do hard resets on my rig, its just not worth it.
