POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen

Nothing is fixed in new "NVIDIA DRIVER UPDATE", don't even bother.

Just crashed again.

Source on Nvidia claiming this update supposedly fixes POE2 freezes. It's a similar issue to the Ubisoft games freezing so it potentially could, but I'm doubtful since this seems to happen even to people without Nvidia GPUs and it seems more like a CPU related problem.

Fingers crossed, but seeing how wide the affected systems are it could be multiple things making you freeze

I bought the game to 2 of my friends.
Both of my friends bought a new computer

One with a 4080 super with 9800x3d
another one with 5800 with 4070.

Both of my friends CAN'T play the game cause of constant crashes.

So we all 3 ended up not playing the game, we just quit right now...

This is hilarious how on earth is this possible we have played for more than 20 years in pc gaming to a lot of games together NEVER happened before in ANY game...

I love poe I love poe 2 but this is not acceptable :(.

Updates on the 30th of January:
- New NVIDIA driver
- New Windows 24h2 update

- Same old crashes


So, nothing changed. Absolutely unnacceptable, GGG.

same issue: trying a map, enter portal and ... kicked to win.
in logs KERNELBASE.dll error

Honestly it kinda annoys me to see any updates to the game at all being worked on that are not directly resolving this specific issue. This should be the single top priority to fix and all their resources should be fully allocated to fixing this right away.

Yeah, Win 11 24H2, newest Updates, Nvidia Driver 572.16 on a 3090RTX I never had any issues with, running on a 9800x3D.

Path od Exile 2 is the ONLY game with crashes. So no Update did help, still same old story.

Here's a weird one. Was in my Nvidia control panel and noticed my PhysX settings were set to CPU instead of my GPU for some reason. Could that possibly have anything to do with the crashes, anyone else checked theirs?

I have changed it back and going to play for a bit and see what happens.

I'm not really clued up on all this sorta stuff though so don't actually know what will change..

People need to stop tinkering with settings that worked forever. You're only going to create more issues for yourselves. It's not your settings, nor it is your PC, it's only that one game in an ocean of non-crashing games.
