POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen

I have 23h2 and it just bricked my PC on a hard crash
Crazy that this is still not solved

I understand everyone is pissed including myself.. could it somehow be possible that it is legit when they blamed 24h2? I mean this isn't happening much if not at all on 23h2 so I'm still more mad with Microsoft for giving us only 10 days to rollback to 23h2 and by the time i found out about 24h2 being buggy and freezing games and messing up audio, i was 2 months late. Its crazy, cause i kept searching forum after forum and no one ever mentioned that it was 24h2 being the culprit. I found it by accident in January of this year. there is actually a writeup from Microsoft saying that they are aware of audio issues as well in 24h2 and working on fixing it. Also one of the "fixes" for poe 2 supposedly is turning off multithreading in the settings (who is gonna keep remembering to do that all the time? I'm not..) to go through loading screens and then turn it back on after its done with the load.. So can't GGG implement something that would automatically uncheck multithreading as soon as you hit a loading screen and then automatically turn it back on afterwards?


i've been crashing since release (windows 10) and only recently upgraded to 24h2 by force, (thanks microchuds) and still crashing like mad. its not a windows issue.

Windows allows to let it happen. PoE doesn't have access to your hardware.
I had to hard-reset my pc now 5 times in the last hour, is this getting worse and worse?

Some reply from GGG regarding this massive problem every month or so would be appreciated.

This is a GGG/PoE2 issue, been well documented and established.
To be honest, if they do not address that issue specifically in 0.2.0—in any form (even just a note saying they've found a way to fix it but had no time)—then chances are they don't even have the slightest clue how to solve it. That's a really bad sign for the future.

If the game continues freezing for so many people (including me, of course), it will quickly drive players to other games. In my opinion, the "help us by sending in DX12 crash reports" approach won't help at all—the game freezes the system; it's not "crashing to desktop." But we will see...

Fingers crossed, and good luck to us all.

You can do some things and catch the exception right before the freeze and then you can generate a dump
