POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen

So...one of those on 24H2 with all updates.

Still using POE Uncrasher on the other monitor and keeping an eye on it. After the patch, I went in and did a LOT of zoning. Just going everywhere. POE Uncrasher didn't report one "not responding". It honestly ran like a solid game for me. No CTD either.

Can't say this is the fix for everyone, but maybe take the plunge to 24H2 and give it a try. It's a fun game. I'm sure you want to play it.

Meanwhile, I'm going to keep monitoring it with uncrasher. If it even does one "not responding", I'll update here. Hope people are back to having fun.

i actually haven't been able to play the game since the last patch, crashes a few seconds after clicking play :(

tried these - deleting shader cache, deleting settings, all kinds of different graphics settings (both under Vulkan and DirectX). no luck so far.

it used to crash similarly before this last patch. but at least sometimes it would work.


have you tried running PoEUncrasher
But isn't the "potential fix" supposed to be deployed later this week? I'm kinda lost, is it live or not?

It was to be with 0.1.1c which is active.
I might be jumping the gun, but the fix is looking pretty good boys.
I actually think the crashing is worse for me now. I can get to the character screen 1 in 5 attempts. then the cogs of death crash me again.

Crash or freeze the whole PC ? Because in this patch they potentially fixed the freezing issue which forced you to do a hard reset.

Ok. I promised to update, so I am.

POE Uncrasher reported TWO "not responding" instances while zoning. This means that, without uncrasher to set the process to "real time", you'd likely crash.

Still no CTD, tho.

Overall, some good progress, but it's not 100% yet.
any update guys hows everyone doing so far im still to worried about playing i wanna make sure this works ive hard reset my pc 30 times ive had enough



next person to quote me about poe2uncrasher ima crash out not downloading 3rd party bs fix gggs problem.......

uncrasher does 2 things, it parks 2 cores during a load screen potentially altering the intended behaviour of the fix and if it does detect a potential crash it changes it to real time priority for teh cpu then back if it recovers it, however it might not need that now, there is still the brief loading hang that are normal and have been preset since god knows when even for poe1 and its what the uncrasher looked for.

what im saying is, you cant actually test the fix with the programme running. gotta go raw. and for me, its not been +7 hours no crash,. (though the last time i said the next load froze but surely, right?lol)
