By all means continue to run Linux and let us know when you hit other bugs or performance issues that you only don't know about now because almost nobody else has bothered to try it.

If we're at the stage of the thread where we're recommending people switch their operating systems I think I'm safe in saying POE2 is a mess. Feel free to rely on the 'comfort' that a handful of Ubisoft games, of all devs, also crash, but the fact that 99% of other games run fine says more about Ubisoft than it does MS imo.

Even the guys who made Diablo 4 are able to sidestep this deadly trap laid by MS, what does that say about GGG?

Sorry to inform you but this very likely has nothing to do with GGG and all with Microsoft, PoE is not the only game.
The fact D4 doesnt suffer from this doesnt mean anything, its only that engines are different and react differently. duh

It's definitely the game.

Sure, no. Game only creates the conditions that activate the chain of on your OS / hardware causing the freeze. It's not GGG fault.

GGG should do the same with POE 2 (and 1). Release temporary fix that in some way prevents the game from using 100% of your CPU while at loading screen (or anything else) even at cost od sacrificing the performance.

Until the issue is fully solved by new cpu/nvidia driveds and windows updates. As you know, Windows will not release any win update in drcember besides security ones.

Exactly. You're completely correct. Sort of workaround would be nice but it's basically not a fix. But as temporariy fix it will do the job.

But as you understand people blame GGG for that anyway.
