POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen

I have been plagued by this issue since release and am honestly baffled at the lack of communication.
It's now February and without a doubt, it's worse than it ever has been. Before it was a chance - now it's almost every single map I do will crash the computer on porting back.

Bump

Have tried nearly everything in this thread with no success
Game cant even get over
45fps in menu DX12
80fps in menu DX11
Unplayable in game (DX12 & DX11) as when fighting fps drop to single digits and crashes game
Every driver and firmware is UpToDate

Win 11
I7-10700K
z490 Gaming X AX
3080 ti
SSD 970EVO
32GB DDR4

Understand this is in EA also this issue has been around for 2 months and there has been no info other then they are aware

Any info on a fix would be great as I'm keen to get back into POE2

Cheers

I can't believe no one has suggested this yet!
I can't even load into the character select screen sometimes. It is a good thing I'm running Uncrasher cause without it, my computer would be freezing. Every time a patch comes out I try to play and big surprise this game is still a huge mess.

This game was coded poorly and not tested at all. I think they literally just ran it on a single test computer and was like, it works, ship it.

It has been 2 month and they have yet to release a stability patch for a huge number of players suffering from hard freezes. I want to point out Ubisoft had multiple games that were suffering a simple problem since 24h2 and Ubisoft patched the games to at least work.
Is there any update on this issue? In single threaded mode, high density mob fights and sharede social towns make the game unplayable?

It has been on the high priority issues list since launch and I haven't heard a single update on it.
ONE WORD REFUND OUR money

The fact that this game breaking issue for so many is not solved yet and not even properly acknowledged by GGG is unbelievable.

The sad part is that I really enjoyed this game and I put 400+ hours in it already, despite at least 7-8 crashes every day when I played it (and yes, I tried every single 'workaround' mentioned here).

Time to move on to other ARPGs...Good luck everyone and really hope this will eventually get fixed.
Bump. Still happening about 5 times an hour. I have been using Process Lasso to avoid power cycling.
