I have the exact same issue, during some loading screens my computer freezes. The only way to get out is to manually reboot.
I had the issue 5 times through the 3 first acts, but now it systematically happens when I try to load my game. I have changed the affinity of PoE2 to leave 3 cores to the os and other programs and have 9 for PoE2, and now only the game freezes during the loading screens. The game is really good so far, so I hope that you will find a way to fix the issue soon as it is currently unplayable. |

Same thing here. There were 2 things which can stop this to happen. Is to uncheck the multicore support in game settings results low fps or to switch from dx12 to vulcan which also drops a few fps and although i didn't compare it face to face but the graphics feel worse.

I am having the same issue. It usually happens to me when I take a town portal. Computer completely freezes up and I have hold the power button to reset the computer. This happen at least 3 times yesterday while trying to play.

This tool fixes it for me, just run it while you play PoE 2. It removes 0 and 1 cores only during loadscreens and after that it allocates full cores again. 3 Days no crashes, smooth loading screens. |

My poe 2 game in the last days has started crashing multiple times a day, this morning in 2 hours I am up to 3 crashes already.

There are certain people in this thread and others about hard crashes that love to derail the discussion by deflecting, minimizing the issue, or straight up insulting people.
1)"It is just Early Access" It does not matter. EA bugs is things like "my skill does not work", "the game shuts down", "x node is not working", "this boss has an iffy hitbox" NOT "Game hard crashes, locking up the PC, requiring manual shutdown, possibly bricking my PC". 2)"It can't brick your PC" It can. I explained the exact mechanisms enough times with decent clarity to the point anyone that claims otherwise is either a troll, or someone who is obstinate. Anyone that wants to double check can run my explanations through ChatGPT, ask a professor at their local university's ECE departments, or hit the books themselves. 3)"It is just a software issue but people mistake it with bricking" This one is actually true for some cases. The problem is this game does not come with a warning that it can cause problems that require above average computer literacy. In fact my greatest issue with this problem is exactly this. If they put a simple warning up top on steam and in this forum only people that know what to do would play the game despite crashes. This way GGG could have avoided causing people to incur damages. 4)"Any damage can be fixed" Those who say this omit the next portion which is "for a price". For some reason these type of derailers think that just because it costs something they can afford, the costs can be afforded by everyone. Even if there were Samaritans that fixes PCs for free, the loss of time is substantial. 5)"Did you make plans around playing this game? What a loser!" This one is really a low social intelligence take. People have responsibilities. Some people enjoy living an ordered life. Some people just want to play the game they paid for when they want. 6)"This is a Windows 11 24H2 issue" These people are 100% trolls. No need to even spare them a glance. We all know it happens to all kind of OS. 7)"They can't fix it fast, I'm a programmer too so I know its really hard for them to fix it" We are not telling them to fix it. We are telling them to communicate with us. Putting a warning on steam, putting a warning on here. A post that explains what they have done until now such as "we have eliminated X as a cause, we are now looking at Y to see if that is the one that causes this." 8)"Your PC is bad." If it is above the required specs, then PoE2 should be able to be played in that PC. Even if the PC is below the requirements, PoE2 should not be taking the whole PC down. 9)"Install these, then perform this Navajo ritual, afterwards pray to Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for His blessings" Workarounds are not fixes. People who have paid for a game should not be forced to install third party programs, or go through hoops to play said game. Furthermore, I ask anyone who sees this message to please give a negative review for Path of Exile 2 on Steam. I cannot send/reply to direct messages because my in-game character has not finished Act 1.
What to do: 1)Write a short review about the hard crashes in notepad. 2)Copy and paste it to steam reviews, put up a negative review. 3)Copy and paste it to steam discussions, put it up there. |

" I know exactly who you are referring to, there's this guy in the BUG REPORT Channels posting on everyone's post about bricking/freezing/crashing that he says saying: OH YOU DESERVE WHAT's happening to you since its EA. No one is forcing you too. What i don't understand is, he's bringing up other topics????? At the end of the day that guys probably a Single Frustrated Virgin living in his moms basement and quite frankly i feel bad for people like that - New Player for Early Access Last edited by Delay#5504 on Dec 23, 2024, 1:13:23 PM
