Pc crashes / freezes on loading new zones in poe2

Hello! I am using the latest version of w11 24h2.
I have a issue with poe2, where there is 1/4 times when I load into a new zone, my pc just freezes 100% and needs a restart, anyone know why?

- I have tried to change from directx12 to 11, and vulkan.
- I tried to delete shader cache in appdata
- I tried to limit cpu usage for poe2 (Read somewhere that w11 24h2 bricks some amd cpus)

I have no clue what to do.

I cant roll back to 23h2, since I have no ISO files for that, and its been too long since I upgraded to 24h2.


Any suggestions would be amazing

Same issue, I tried to limit cpu and now trying to switch to Vulkan.It has frozen completely many times already. What are your specs?
Mine Ryzen 5 5600X AMD CPU
Nvidia RTX 3070
32GB of RAM
Samsung 990 Nvm.e 2 drive
amd ryzen 7 5800x3D
64 gig of ram
rtx 3080
and a bunch of ssds
They're saying it's mostly an AMD issue but I have seen a post with Intel CPU doing the same thing. Some posts I have seen mention disabling Enginge multithreading as a solution, but that tanks your FPS.
I'm out of ideas myself. Messaged mod since I don't see it in "known issues"
Yeah I tried playing without multi threading, and that is just cancer for eyes
My workaround for now has been to disable Engine Multithreading anytime I portal. Seems to work, especially for mapping. Then once you're loaded into the map/zone, re-enable it. Extra clicks but works.

DID EVERYTHING LIKE YOU AND STILL HAVE WHOLE PC FREEZE... THIS IS RIDICULOUS....
I’m monitoring my machine’s temps and utilization.

Here’s the deal: when loading, CPU usage spikes hard. Really hard. Temps momentarily spike towards 90C, and trigger a shutdown of the system. During the most intense gameplay, I never see my CPU utilization even break 30% with my hardware, and CPU temps are reliably under 70C.

Seems like setting an aggressive frame limit may help — 60FPS — and disabling engine multi threading prior to loading does work to prevent this. It makes me wish there was a “disable engine multithreading while loading” configuration.

Same Problem after updating today to Windows 11 24h2. The Game freezes in Loading Screen and complete freezes my PC. I rly hope this causes no damage to my System.

Try to disable multithreading in settings before loading in to any zone and enable after loading, it might work.
