Game crashes to desktop with no error - UNPLAYABLE

#metoo Ryzen 1800x
I have been playing with no problems since open beta until this league.

I get the freeze, followed by a slight movement, then crash to desktop with no error. The sound gets all distorted as well.

Using Vulcan because DirectX cannot handle Betrayal and Delirium for me without major lagging.

Running a 2 year old PC with 2080ti and Intel 8700k.
I changed "Renderer" in options from Direct X11 to Vulcan and the crashes stopped happening for now. I didn't change any other settings. Hopefully this works for some of you.
It was unplayable at this night due the constant game crashing in Merciless Trial Labytinth on first or at the latest second map.
Delete Poe caches, login to nvidia app to disable the overlay (which doesnt work unless you didnt login to it at all I believe), switching vulkan renderer to dx11 didnt help at all.
But after I disabled Engine Multithreading in poe options graphics tab, I was able to do the whole Labyrinth Trial! It seems the root of the crashing is the Ryzen CPu multithreading. Its true that it results even poorer FPS and more lagging with disabled multithreading but its not crashing, even in towns its still a lagfest cartoon FPS thankfully to GGG fancy characters graphics effects that they sold for money to players... Shame on you! Swear to god I never played a game before with such poorly optimized and bugged engine that they unable to solve at all after years!

I have Ryzen 5 1600 with Nvidia GTX960 2GB VGA card. Yeah its not a top config, but as I read this game is very poorly optimized even on top configs and the constant lagfest stuttering game experience is not because my config. I dont want to pay more money for that crap...

Edit: ok, after some hour I crashed again on a map... due to very poor FPS? who knows... maybe its another bug.

Thank you for the reports, we're aware of the problems and are working on fixes as quickly as we can.
Releasing a great league and simultaneously making the game unplayable for a large portion of your player base is a strange business move GGG. This last year has made me question why I continue to play and support this game. I absolutely LOVE this game, but you guys can't seem to stop fucking things up between shit leagues and keeping your game running properly. Please get it together. You're starting to feel like the junky dad that keeps getting clean only to relapse and disappoint the family again every holiday season.
I also am running a Ryzen 1600x CPU

and I'm getting random crashes all the time.

it was every few minutes then I turned off the reverb in sound settings,
Now it still happens but can be between 5 and 15 minutes.

I really hope this gets fixed. im enjoying the league and cant even finish the story due to this. its VERY frustrating.
Super annoying. Game seemed fine yesterday; no crashes at all whilst levelling a new Tec Slam juggernaut. Now I've just hit Act 10 and it crashes straight to desktop with no error message once a zone upon entering the zone. I literally can't progress anymore :(

CPU: Intel I7 5930K
GPU: 1080Ti (x2)
OS: Win 10 19042.746
GPU Driver: 451.85

Furthest I have gotten so far is to the Control Blocks but usually crashes upon trying to enter the rooftops.

There is a lot of Ryzen users with this problem but dont forget us NVidia users too. Some of us are also having the same issues. I am also getting random crashes and it only happens when playing poe. For me it causes my monitors to go black and turns my monitors off since there no signal coming from the GPU. Assuming this is caused by latest drivers and this game itself. Was running perfect before this so called hotfix/hotbreak. I am using the non-steam version and a couple of my team are also having issues and they all have different systems.

i7-8700k CPU
Asus Strix RTX 2080ti GPU Version:461.40
2x M.2 SSD 2TB
Windows 10 Home x64


It's strange, I was crashing, then last couple of days I can play, then today the crashes happen again.
Idk what's wrong with PoE
