Total PC freeze only while playin PoE

So I've been having this issue for around a week.

My pc completely freezes up and I have to reset it.

It only happens while playing poe. Doesnt happen in the most intense moments with a crapload of stuff on the screen. Sometimes it crashes with no monster in sight. Sometimes right after a massive fight.

I've been monitoring temps, cpu, gpu and memory usage, but didnt notice anything out of ordinary. Maybe some small cpu spikes, nothing more.

The funniest thing is that on my steam deck, I'm having no issues with the game xddd

My specs:

CPU: ryzen 5 3600
GPU: rx 6600xt
RAM: 16GB 3200MHz CL16 Viper 4
MOBO: MSI B450-A Pro Max
PSU: I dont remember the model and brand, but its a good one with gold rating and decent japanese caps and stuff :p

I'm playin on a mix of high-med settings and dx12. I'll be testing vulkan today...
Most of the time I get good frames, close to 60 even in big fights.

Not gonna lie, it kind of is really fuckin annoying, I'd be very grateful if it got resolved.

Video where they swapped to AMD gfx and the results...which have a shit ton of bugs that could explain why there is a lot of problems atm.

Same, every 10 minutes here when I open a strongbox or find a breach or when I enter the map the game freezes. One of these things happens approximately every 10 minutes.
Sometimes the game crashes.
When I'm in my hideout the game is smooth.

This started to happen after (3.22.1b Hotfix) the morning of this update.

And my GPU was updated 1 month and 16 days before the patch that started freezing the game.


If it's AMD's fault, maybe GGG started using a feature that AMD made available? IDK, I think only GGG will know how to answer this.

The day this problem started I saw some threads about 3.22 was bumped, but in fact the problem started when 3.22.1b was released.
You can go back to the pages and check the dates and times the bump occurred.


I hope GGG reads this because if they do they will probably find the problem soon.
