Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.3073 (KB5050090) this update solved the crash for me. Its from yesterday.

Hi,
I may have a solution. I have had the same issue since I updated to 24H2 and up to recently I was using poeuncrasher to avoid the issue (with varying results). I also started to have other issues, all related to management of fullscreen/background/foreground display and all seeming to stem from the 24H2 Windows Update : - World of Warcraft would freeze for up to an entire minute, sometimes freezing other application on my PC. It looked like WoW was reloading all the game assets even though they were already being displayed - Some videoplayer from streaming services (Netflix, Youtube) would freeze when watching a video in fullscreen and having another application on foreground The most common fix I found over the internet was to deactivate Windows' MPO (whatever it is) so I gave it a shot and it did solve my issues but also seem to solve POE2 problem. I have been able to play several hours today without a single crash and with overall better performance than previously. To deactivate the MPO I simply followed the steps on this website : https://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-amd-nvidia-are-all-sleeping-on-windows-11-mpo-display-issues/#add I am not a tech expert and I have no idea what changed with 24H2, why Windows MPO causes issues or whose fault it is (Microsoft, Nvidia, gamedevs) but I hope it can help both players to solve they issues and GGG to find a fix to this problem. I have also tried the new Windows update and Nvidia drivers update released in the past two days, they do improve the situation but don't solve every issue so I'll stick with deactivate the MPO. Finally, my apologies if this has been suggested already. I tried a quick search in this very thread and haven't found anything. |

Nvidia Driver: 572.16
Windows11: Done KB5050094 update. Specs: ASUS PRIME B550M-K AMD Ryzen 5 5600 6-Core ASUS DUAL GeForce RTX 4070 Using PoEUncrasher v1.4.0 In Game Settings: Renderer: Vulkan Mode: Fullscreen VSync: Off Dynamic Resolution: Off Window Resolution: 2560x1440 Upscale Mode: Nvidia Dlss Image Quality: Quality HDR: Off Texture Quality: High (Default) Texture Filtering: 16x Anisotropic Filtering Lighting: Shadows + Global Illumination (Default) Shadow + GI Quality: Ultra Sun Shadow Quality: High (Default) Number Of Lights: High (Default) Water Detail Level: High (Default) Nvidia Reflex: On (Default) All Caps Off Triple-Buffering: Off Dynamic Culling: Off Target Framerate: 120 Engine Multithreading: On --- Despite using PoEUncrasher, my game crashed twice within two hours. Tweaking in-game settings does nothing to help. Yesterday, without changing any of the settings mentioned above, I was able to play for four hours straight without any issues. It's really unreasonable. While the Path of Exile Series does not have an official motto, its core philosophy has always been to provide a deep and complex ARPG experience that is accessible to everyone for free. The series’ free-to-play model is a fundamental part of this vision, as stated by Grinding Gear Games over the years. Therefore, saying that the Path of Exile Series exists to make this genre available to everyone at no cost would not be inaccurate. However, if constantly crashing in loading screen prevents players from playing the game—even after spending money on it—it is fair to say that this vision is not being fully realized by GGG itself. It's just really sad to see GGG not follow its own philosophy. |

I have had no issues other than low ish 20-70fps and the occasional minor bug in the 300h of gameplay since launch.
Starting on Jan 30th 2025 (after the latest patch to POE2) my entire PC locks up when loading into maps. This seems to happen 50% of the time, as sometimes I load in and other times my PC requires a hard reset/reboot to fix it. I am unable to Alt+F4 or ctrl+alt+del and it completly freezes my pc. I will also note that Nvidia and Windows both had large updates on the same day (Jan 30th 2025). I rolled back my Nvidia driver to the previous version along with roling back the windows update to test if I still had issues. I still get the PC lock up issue and can only assume it is a problem with the latst update to POE2 from GGG. I have reapplied the Nvidia and Windows updates as it doesn't seem to be the cause. Unfortunatly this makes the game unplayable in its current state and will have to wait for further updates by the GGG team. Operating System: Windows 11 Home 64-bit (10.0, Build 26100) (26100.ge_release.240331-1435) Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9700K CPU @ 3.60GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.6GHz Memory: 32GB DDR4 RAM Hopefuly these datails help GGG solve the problem and look forward to getting stuck back in at a later date! keep up the good work! |

you people should really stop whining here as i doesn't do you any good, GGG is aware of the issue and we simply do have to wait until its fixed, whining won't make it getting fixed faster as its simply not a quick fix by any means, go touch some grass outside your house, then come back and simply play a different game, there are plenty of games out there!

" And yet happens in Linux too? Yeah that doesn't track. |
|
" So, you paid 30-450$ and it aint work? Just shut up and wait. Waited for 2 months? Wait some more. Maybe 2,maybe 6. Just go play a different game, come on. Simple. lol |
|
" Isn't this forum for early access bug reports? Also, since when did reporting an issue count as "whining"? If everyone just "touched grass" instead of giving feedback, how would anything ever get fixed? |

" It's not enough... |
