Game Freezes as the Screen reloads

Every half hour or hour my game will freeze and the screen will go black. Then it will reload and you can see the gears in the middle as well as the borders. After about 20-30 seconds it comes back and I can play normally. I changed to Vulcan and this stopped, but then performance was HORRIBLE. Back to DirectX12 and it's doing it again.

9 times out of 10 I don't take any damage and the game stops without officially pausing and I can just keep playing, although sometimes I'll just get killed.

Nvidia RTX 5060 (latest driver)
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-14600K (3.50 GHz)
32 Gig of RAM
Windows 11

Happens to me as well. Makes HC impossible to play because I've died about 10 times while the screen is just spinning gear icons.

Same here,

I am running an ASUS 5080 Prime, with a 9800X3D and a MSI X870 Tomahawk Motherboard, 1250 watt power supply, 64 gig Ram. When I am playing PoE2 about every 20-30 minutes of running maps my game will freeze up, the screen goes to the two spinning gears, then it comes back but any portion of the map i have cleared disappears (Only the map disappears). It drops me right back where things were when it froze up. Other times the game keeps going on in the backround, I can see the health bars above all the heads so i can still kind of move around, also the audio doesn't freeze. Any ideas what i can do about this? All have the latest drivers.
