POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen

Just want to chime in and make sure this stays on the front page. I crash probably 6-10 times an hour. Basically every other map, or loading screen back into my hideout. The GGG gears spin.. and sometimes they stop, then it's dead. CPU usage at 100%. Like lots of others, I have a 9800x3d.

I've tried everything so I'm pretty sure this needs a patch to fix. The only thing worth using currently is POE uncrasher - at least that way you dont have to reboot your PC.

So now that we know nvidia driver IF u use poeuncrasher u wont crash. But the situation is clearly unacceptable

POEUncrasher does not prevent crashes. In fact, it seems nigh on useless for me now.


It scrapes a log in order to know when to act. The game can crash faster than that, it seems - or it isn't a perfect solution anyway.

Guys, just disable Engine multithreading from Options > Graphics. Never had a crash since i disabled it

Ya bro, enjoy your 30 fps. I'm not disabling multithreading on my 9800X3D.

GGG can fix their game instead.
Still. All updated. Reported several times.

Complete crash, not even to desktop, no 3-finger salute, hard restart of the machine required.

Every.

Time.

I.

Play.

Hundreds of pages. No word from GGG.

GGG FIX IT PLS
only thing working 100% for me is setting the affinity by hand after starting the game, at least this way it just crashes and doesnt freeze my entire pc


in the taskmanger -> details -> search for poe process, right click and set affinity.. remove 2-3 cores

FIXXYYY FIXXXYYYY GGG. Tired of clenching my arse every time i go through a portal and see my CPU usage spike to 130% and don't know if i am gonna make it out the other side.

Lets all drink red bull jump out of a plane and hope for the best.
Same issue. The only thing which helps 100% is playing in a window (i.e. not fullscreen windowed, but in a window with title bar, which can be put to full screen). I bet there's some race condition in the engine behind this, or some obscure interaction with the driver (or likely combination of issues which makes this difficult to debug). Good luck devs! (just a hint, if I may, nobody will read it anyway: try putting sleeps to order threads execution in a reproducible way, while it seems stupid it's a simple technique which helps a ton to find race conditions, once you at least suspect something).
