Crash / Deadlock error when entering Lost Temple

While playing Path of Exile 2 Early Access, the game consistently crashes when trying to enter the Lost Temple area.

Upon attempting to load the zone, an exception popup appears with the message “Deadlock detected”, and the game becomes unresponsive, forcing me to close it.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Play normally until reaching the entrance to Lost Temple
2. Interact with the entrance to load the area
3. Game freezes during loading
4. Exception window appears: Deadlock detected

Frequency:
100% (happened every time I tried to enter)

Additional info:
Game version: PoE 2 – 0.4.0d
Platform: PC (Windows)

Screenshot link attached (error message visible)

[Edit]
This issue is not limited to the Lost Temple area. I’ve also experienced the same “Deadlock detected” error occasionally in other areas during zone loading.
