GAME CRASHES AND FREEZES SINCE 3.25, THE GAME IS NOW UNPLAYABLE

Same issue here - I don't sem to get it entering maps, but mostly when returning to hideout, going to another hideout, town, or kingsmarch.

Occassionally right at starting the game, but often times just randomly. After 20 minutes or after hours. It's fucking irritating, often times it happens when going to someone elses hideout to trade.

I deleted all temp files cache etc - that seemed to help, but it came right back next session, don't want to have to do that everytime

WIN 11 24H2 + 565.90 = problems

go back to 23H2 if possible
go back a driver version (DDU)

537.58 & 551.86 are considered the most stable drivers for 3000 series

Read this thread and sort by newest comments about 24H2 and Nvidia new drivers

If you want to dive into the newest 566.03 release you should check this thread first. (older driver is still recommended)

Using Vulcan fixed the crashes for me! :)
Same, since the latest patch I crash almost every time I alt+tab.
Did not played last league. Game randomly blocks at loading screen (mouse barely moves, can alt tab, cant alt F4, need to hard reset PC).

Experiencing the same hard crashes as most people in this thread. Always happens on a loading screen and can either happen immediately after trying to enter the game from character select, or randomly 2 hours later whilst loading into a map or a hideout.

I've tried everything I could find, bar completely reinstalling windows 11 as I'm unable to roll back to before 24H2.

I've downgraded my nvidia driver using DDU to the recommended 561.09 that's generally considered to be the last stable driver. I've flashed my bios to the latest update. I've tried both standalone and steam versions of the game. Dx11, 12 and vulkan. I've cleared the folder within "my games". This is a fresh install on a newly built PC that has benchmarked fine and stable.

Yep, Game is unplayable without fixing their mistakes for an hour straight.
Same "Stuck in Loading Screen" issue as every single leaguestart.

Interesting how the same issues have been happening for years without GGG either adressing nor attempting to fix them.

Whelp, we can only hope the same spaghetti code isnt in POE2

In nearly the same exact boat as you, latest BIOS, tried DX11, DX12, and Vulkan (Vulkan gives me the least crashes and DX crashes instantaneously). Newly built PC as well. Freezes that lock up my system and force a hard restart.

The crashes do not happen with Engine Multithreading disabled, but obviously comes at such a huge performance loss that I don't want to play.

Fix the game GGG.
Here is what i tried so far:
-rollback nvidia driver
-reinstall the game
-install it on another ssd
-vulkan/dx11/dx12 - same problem
-delete cache folder/settings
-verify client
-standalone/steam version

Never had any problems with this game, and if it crashed my game I'd be perfectly fine, but this problem completely freezes my PC so i have to do a hard reboot every time.

turning of multithreading fixed my crashes completly :D im so glad it ruined my last league.
