This is a GGG/PoE2 issue, been well documented and established.

Where can I read those documents?

So does Linux. PoE 1 and 2 are the only games on my library to cause this issue. This is 100% on GGG.

Yes. If it's Linux fault, then it must be patched. GGG doesn't have access to your hardware or ring 0 at all.

And yet happens in Linux too? Yeah that doesn't track.

Linux's PoE still uses Windows API running via proton / wine, translating Win32 calls to Linux natives.

PS Show me official native poe 1/2 binaries from the developers.

You yourself said the OS shouldn't let it happen. 2 separate OSs (one being open source) and neither one has come with a fix for it. Now is is possible an issue with DX12/Vulkan? Maybe, their base code is very similar but saying the OS shouldn't let it happen when Linux and Windows couldn't have more different base code is flat out flawed troubleshooting logic. I don't think DX12/Vulkan have built in failsafes to prevent infinite loops, and since both APIs have administrative access to the kernel so its not entirely shocking that they could create some sort of infinite loop like what is happening here.

Please fix :( I still have the problem. This happens in PoE 1 as well.

Platform - Steam
DirectX 12
Windows 11 24H2
RTX 3070
Ryzen 7 5800X3D
32GB DDR4
NVME SSD

GPU Driver Version: 572.16

What's going to happen when (if?) this finally gets fixed? The world's supply of Kleenex is probably going to take a nosedive.

almost 500 pages with bug reports and 0 reactions from developers, you are working well, wonderful responsiveness, developers!

I just bought and build my CPU at February 1st, 2025

First Crash happening at February 1st.
Second Crash happening at February 2nd.
Third Crash happening at February 2nd (2 times)

Ryzen 7 9800X3D
DirectX 12
Windows 11 24H2
32GB DDR5
NVME M.2 SSD
POE2 Launcher

Waiting for temporary fix / permanent fix if anyone has it. Thank you

At this point I just want my money back. I paid for early access, not early denial. I bought it on Jan 14th and it was fine for a couple of hours and then the freezes started. I can't get a refund through steam because I've played for 10 or so hours on the first day.

Is GGG even paying any attention whatsoever to this fugging thread???
Second time today I want to play only to manually reboot my pc 4x times to be able to get in. Fugg this shit

Its really annoying to go through this, but i did a clean windows install with windows 11 23H2 and i didnt have any more freezes afterwards. You just got to make sure to not update windows to 24H2.

Since windows doesnt supply an iso for 23H2 anymore i got it from a third party website. Im not sure if im allowed to post it here.

my issues started with the Win11 24H2 update, but just got a new update today -Windows 11 KB5050094 24H2. Let's home this fixes something
