Trialmaster timefreeze bug

Character got stuck in 1 place during trialmaster fight(4th ascendancy) at around 50-60% hp after he says "Ultimatum" and stops time. Sounds of the game are present, not a freeze. Waited for 20 seconds or so and tried to relog, then i was ported to temple of chaos as if i failed the fight, rough.

Confirmed. That was the exact same scenario I just experienced. Boss down 60%, said "Ultimatum" and I was stuck in place. Wait for 5 minutes. Nothing. Logged, returned to the Trial of Chaos entrance. P I S S E D.

Hi GGG and community,

In relation to this:

New: Investigating cases where some players experience crashes related to Multithreading and have to restart their PCs. This seems to mostly be for players with the Windows 24H2 update.

-----------

I have been plagued with this issue when portalling between zones, it seems as though the CPU is spiking which causes a system crash. It is worth noting that durning my troubleshooting, ive obeserved this issue happens too a number of games, not just POE2.

Some workarounds have been the likes of disabling multithreading or setting affinity for poe2 process in task manager, turning CPU 0 and CPU 1 off, this allows you too enter the task manager in the event of a crash.

These were previous steps id personally taken in working around, however, Windows seems to have addressed this issue in a recent, optional Windows update.

The update is KB5048162 and is found in the optional updates section on the Settings/Windows update. KB5048162 patchnotes seemingly address this issue and will likely be deployed in the next feature update. The patch notes are as follows:

----

Summary
Security Improvements

There are no new security improvements in this release. This update is cumulative and contains all previously released security improvements.

Quality and Reliability Improvements

.NET Runtime

- Addresses an issue where in rare cases where an infinite loop could occur when a thread enters CLR for the first time.

----

I have since updated to the new optional update and tested portalling ingame extensively, i have not crashed since.

I hope this helps anyone affected, this seems to be a permenant fix.

Kind Regards

Jammies

I ended up updating to KB5048162, the game crashed the first time and the second time I tried to teleport to another area, it froze my pc.
