Application hang - POE not responding

I avoid posting about things like this, however, it's getting on my nerves now.

Every couple of Leagues there's some absolutely nonsensical glitch/bug/poor optimization that gets introduced to POE and makes certain parts of the game UNPLAYABLE.

This particular one is an application hang, as can be seen in the event viewer for Windows 10.

My PC IS NOT THE ISSUE <--- lets get that out of the way first, so don't even try.

How is it that the game works fine for hours, suddenly it crashes? This is the same kinda bs that used to happen on occasion with Blight encounters in maps, where for NO REASON game just auto-closes, complete crash to desktop.

This one just hangs, spews out <--- idk if this link will work.



In case it doesn't, its your run of the mill not responding error:

PathOfExile.exe is not responding

Close/Wait

This mostly happens in Heist, sometimes in maps, almost never in hideout. We get it - POE is not easy to optimize but riddle me this - how are zones that DO NOT change from one League to another causing problems? The Wild Grove area - no issues, not even a stutter. Heist? >.>

GRRRRRR

Really GGG, you need to fix this now.

Just scrolling through this forum I can tell a lot of people are experiencing the exact same thing.
I came across this problem yesterday.
I can play alone for about 10 hours straight and there won't be any crashes to desktop. But as soon as I go to 5way\Beachhead\Paradise, the game just freezes after about a minute. I read that you can disable the windows swap file and tried it, but without the swap file the game stopped running altogether. I reinstalled windows, reinstalled the game on HDD\SSD\M2 and nothing helped (I also tried changing the client to Steam).

The interesting thing is that this isn't a new issue by any means.

I've been playing since Heist League and I had no issues during Heist or the following league (forgot what that was) on a significantly worse PC than my current brand new rig.

This issue is becoming more and more frequent, with 3.23 absolutely killing my enjoyment and the ability to actually run content. I've encountered this crash 3 times in the last hour, lost 3 9/10 Ultimatums, alongside 30% XP, cuz obviously I died every time, not to mention a couple of Divines...

Every. Single. Damn. Time. a new patch is released, it's a buggy and unstable mess, the game gets patched 5 more times within the first 2 weeks, becomes increasingly unstable and at some point, they decide it's time to optimize and these issues subside. Until the next League.

We get it, you're working on POE2 - that game IS NOT OUT YET. POE 1, HOWEVER, IS, AND IT'S CRASHING ALL THE GODDAMN TIME.

Hello GGG? 2 crashes in Rogue Harbour in 5minutes? Can you wake up?
Having the same issues, turned everything down to the lowest setting still crashes constantly. Tried running Coward's Trial and crashed out of 6 portals...

Brand new load of Windows 11
Intel i9-12900K
Asus Z690 Hero Eva
Asus 3080 Eva

I can run MW3 at ultra settings no issues, just POE with problems...

Try disabling Multithreaded Rendering - it should resolve the crashing issues.

Keep in mind, however, this is BY NO MEANS a solution.
Yes, have the same issue, especially when trying to do heists.

Windows 11 Pro 22621
GeForce RTX 4070 latest drivers

Playing pretty much all max settings, was running fine until last patch, then started getting consistent freezing/lock screen when I enter the rogue harbor, usually within a minute or two. Have to completely exit out of game and relaunch.

I ran steams file integrity check and it shows no issues. I am going to try and turn down my settings see if I can get it running more stably. Not sure what else to do.

Yes, disabling Multithread Rendering fixed issue, just runs like s**t now.
Yes that seems to fix the app hang error so far. Was worried there with getting 200+ FPS and 7 MS before, glad to see when the game is running properly I am getting 30-40 FPS and 40+ MS, what a joke.
