My pc freezing is solved.
BUT the performance in the game is horrible, alot of infinite stutters !

7800x3d and 4080.

Only poe2 i have problems.


I forget, how much vram in a 4080? What resolution do you use? How much system ram do you have and what kind of HD (pref an NVME).

Stuttering is super annoying - can, for me, make a game unplayable.

Just to be careful, your on the latest Green Team drivers for your GPU and Red Team Drivers for your CPU including chipset and sound?




I play in QUADHD, 2560x1440 240hz Oled monitor.
4080 = 16GB, I have 32GB of RAM, and an ultra-fast NVMe.

As I mentioned, only PoE2 gives me issues. My PC is extremely well-configured and up to date, and I have no problems with any other game.

After the new patch, FPS dropped drastically, and there are frequent stutters that make the game unplayable.

This company is a disappointment. They’re making me drop the game due to their lack of care. I've never seen a game in this stage of development with so many issues.

This game has little to with GPU and storage(apart from loading shaders), but is primarily CPU heavy, all current problems relating to performance is directed to the CPU.

Stuttering is generally related to CPU bottlenecks and unoptimization, general solution for this is to hard limit FPS, you can do that by Nvidia control panel, there is a dedicated option for that, limit FPS to 100 as a test, and then adjust accordingly, if this doesn't work at all then try limiting with Riva tuner statistics server.

Also, you might just be thermal throttling, as high CPU usage related to high temps.

Apologies if you have already tried all of these.

What do you mean? Is it not working for you too? Based on the latest responses on both the major threads some people have clearly stopped crashing/freezing after 0.1.1c.


I am not risking my PC to check if it's still happening, and I am not going to roll the dice in order to see if it's fixed or I'm just a few hours away from a freeze.

Based on latest responses on this thread, the other big one and another one that has popped up, it's still happening. If you read this threads, plenty of people over the weeks think it's fixed, then it freezes again. I myself was able to play for hours before getting a hard freeze.

Not really looking forward to play for some hours, think it's fixed then having to power cycle my pc. That's what I meant by "I was hoping this patch I could finally play, but I guess I'll have to keep playing console."

My game froze on the first load screen before selecting a server the second time I started the game after the new patch. It may be that whatever fix they put in only works inside the game itself? who knows.

I will try some more, but keep the task manager open and play with 2 cores disabled so the risk of total lockup of PC is minimal. Maybe they managed to reduce the problem but not fix it entirely. It's clearly not fixed at least, so they will have to do more work.
If people are looking for some optimism here, I'll add mine. I have not had a single hardlock on 0.1.1c after two months of hellish conditions and constant reboots.

I have disabled all safeguards...

No more editing the Config file to disable multithreading before starting the game.
No more disabling multithreading in options before each loading screen.
No more PoEUncrasher.
No more process priority manipulations.
No more messing with BIOS settings.
No more reverting to 23H2.

It just works now. If you had this issue, it's worth another shot now.
