I thought it's due to the wrong DRAM frequency, but I noticed I don't get this issues with other highly graphic intensive games such as Black Myth: Wukong. So this is probably POE2 itself.

It IS POE2 problem, not OS, not hardware. This is GGG fault.

I've never had system lock like that ever before, i'd rather just BSOD. This is just poe.

fix this ****, we can't play or refund.

Confirming this happens on both current and old versions of windows, including 22H2, happens regardless of CPU brand, regardless of x3d CPU, and regardless of GPU brand, and even occurs in POE1 when running Directx 12 or Vulkan. This is GGG caused issue that GGG has addressed and failed to fix several years ago in POE1 and now it got ported to POE2. It was GGG's issue then, and its still their issue now too.

in general, for those who really want to play, this is what works for me, regular demolition of folders called ShaderCacheD3D12 ShaderCacheD3D11 ShaderCachevulcan, depending on which API you are playing, that folder is created along the way C:\Users \your username\AppData\Roaming\Path of Exile 2 delete folders regularly and you can teleport as much as you want

It has been working for 2 days now

Hi good sir, I have had similar results, except rather than constantly deleting the folders it seems to work to prevent the game from writing to them in the first place by removing user permissions. It's outlined here:

Same here PC freezes on loading screens, if i move the mouse on loading even worst.

Build:
RTX 4090
AMD r7 78003xd
32gb RAM
Windowns 11 V. 24h2

Happening extensively after the most recent Patch. Full PC crash on loading screen.

RTX 4090
AMD 7800X3D

Interestingly I have this freeze happen regularly, yes it is usually on load and yes it requires a full reboot to make it go away. Happens on almost every time I boot the PC and or bring it out of sleep mode.

However I seem to be able to make it stop. I can play for days and days with no lock ups by simply going into my system tray. There I have the NVIDIA setting listed, if I leave that running, the game will lock with relative ease.

If I end that process by exiting it out of my system tray I have been able to play 10+ hours with zero lockups. This setting restarts on every wakeup, and as long as I remember to exit it before I play I will not receive any lockups.

Not sure if there is anything that helps the investigation or helps anyone else avoid them, but it works 100% of the time for me.

This issue seems to have have gotten worse. Hard system freezes only on zone load. Four times in the last couple hours during tonight's play session.

yeah only way i am able to play is using the BES limiter. Didn't want to use a 3rd party software just to play but its the only thing that works atm. Have to set poe2 limit to atleast 10-14% tho. Some town portals still rough and freezes. https://mion.yosei.fi/BES/
