POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen
" Sure...but I think the point I was trying to make is that any issues one would have about fps over 60 seems to diminish the higher the FPS one feels they're missing. I couldn't, for the life of me, tell the difference between 100 FPS and 200 FPS. |

" 10 years ago i completely hung my ubuntu with a simple program by just ranning out of memory. 1 year ago asus released update creating millions of handles, occupying 200 gb of virtual memory and finally crashing all my programs and windows. both situations i asked myself why OS allowed this and believe there are still a lot of ways to somehow exhaust system resources and hang the system from user space. |

" This tracks a bit. At one point in my crashing saga, I was getting "out of memory" crashing of not just the game, but other apps running at the same time as the game. On a suggestion, I looked at my virtual memory, and it was set at 4GB, which is really low. I adjusted it to 1.5x minimum, and 3x maximum. Crashing issue dramatically improved. Not 100%, but I haven't had a PC freeze since...just a few CTD. So, this seems to make sense to me, and perhaps some of these people crashing should check their virtual memory. I never set it to 4GB, so maybe it's a default on some people's computer. |

" It's called design flaw. If entire OS crashes with "out of memory" / handles leakage / any sort of the degradation causing the Bug Check screen (BSOD) or Kernel Panic not allowing properly to handle the exception closing the faulting user-mode application and freeing all occupied resources - that OS needs to be patched or trashed to the recycle bin (like MS-DOS or Windows 3.x / 95 / 97 etc). Just for the instance check QNX (RT OS) architecture, it is used on nuclear stations and submarines all over the world. Faulting user mode application must be forcefully closed by the operating system without affecting stability. This is straight forward OS's job to manage and protect your PC memory / resources. If it fails at its basic task - it's trash OS. And yes, there is no exception for Ubuntu or any other *nix OS. Fortunately GGG and Microsoft understand that. But due to complexity, legacy code, having to choose between time-quality-cost, the tracking of such issues is very tricky. Despite that multi-layer bug I'm glad we have some experienced and talented guys like M. Russinovich from Sysinternals or J. Carmack in the industry. Average andy sees only the final visible layer and sure if something bad happens he starts to whine and yell at the developer of that layer, in our specific case it's GGG. Stop hysteria. Just let GGG and the industry (including Microsoft that also working on the issue) to deal with that annoying freeze, at some point it will be fixed. As they told - they are working on long-term solution, they are not ignoring you. Obviously the problem is complex and difficult to track, for some reason some users still didn't realize that.

500 pages in and several weeks later, with POE2 being the only game that behaves this way and cursorTarget still blames the OS. maximum iq.

" Pretty sure several games have this problem, also PoE runs an in-house engine. |

" Unrelated to the issue? Or incomplete uninstallation? Last edited by Climet#7103 on Feb 8, 2025, 1:24:15 PM

It's been 8 days since I was last able to play Poe 2. The same crash still happens when launching the game. All updates are up to date. I hope it gets fixed soon so I can play Poe 2 again. Keeping my fingers crossed.
