Hard crashing PC locks up

REPORT THE GAME ON STEAM

If you are like me and are exhausted of this issue, you can report the game on the Steam store. GGG doesn't appear to be taking this issue seriously, and they do not deserve your hard earned money without at the VERY LEAST communicating to those of us with these problems.

Go to the POE2 store page:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2694490/Path_of_Exile_2/

Scroll down to where the right hand panel ends, and click the Flag icon to report the game. (Report the Product)

Then add additional information and submit.

amazing how this freezing crashing trash is still not fixed.

Ive done this and it did work but i noticed CPU temps going to 85+ during loading screens, but it held for the whole of act2 cruel.. then i tried loading into act3 cruel and it crashed again...

Screw this, i aint about to ruin my system trying to play this, ill wait for a fix.

Game likes to crash the system when zoning with Win11 24H2 (7800X3D with NVidia 4800Super)

Booting into Linux to sidestep the problem worked so far for me (Mint with debian style steam)

Game is unplayable

I am still crashing after days of troubleshooting. i dont know what to do at this point.

I booted up POE1 and that game worked flawlessly. Not sure what the issue is at this point.

During act II, I started having random in-game freezes that took a few seconds to come back. I was on an AMD 6600xt and tweaked the settings a lot lower than standard but never saw it go better. Looking at the stats on the top right of the screen it seemed to be lag spikes (network Ms going randomly up) so I thought it was a network issue. Never checked the temps as I wasn't aware of this issue. Suddenly in act III the PC died. It won't turn on anymore. I think my HX750 with 4y of use is dead. Can't say about the rest of the hardware as I don't have a spare PSU to test, will send to testing tomorrow.

Just a maybe important information: I was using my PSU in multiple rails mode

Man I am sorry to hear that. At least you got good use out of the PSU, although to be honest it'd probably have worked indefinitely (up to the natural lifetime of the PSU as advertised by the manufacturer, obviously) if not for PoE 2. Of course, you didn't check these threads before playing the game. Naturally one doesn't go peruse a bug forum for a game for 12 hours to see if anyone has experienced component failure/damage as a result of a problem with the game. So there's no way you could've known.

But I'll say it for like the third or fourth time in this thread - people who are hard crashing just shouldn't run the game anymore until GGG releases a patch and states that the patch is intended to fix the issue. Even then I'm skeptical that it would even work. Apparently they won't even dedicate this issue it's own sticky thread for people to watch let alone make a statement that would publicly acknowledge that it is indeed their game that is bugged.

Sure, you'll likely be fine when you hard reset 35 times per day. And then after three days you'll come here and whine when on your 36th daily power button press your PC doesn't turn on anymore. But hard crashing "can't damage your computer parts" so there's nothing to worry about. Obviously you were given an inferior part that can't handle the video game. Or anything, really. And that's why it won't turn on anymore. :)

Just saying.

Same as all the above. 5800x3d and 4090. Computer freezes, hard reboot needed.

Reported the game on steam. There are people who lost their PCs to this...

I'm sure something will happen this week. I'd give it another week. Unless GGG have already gone off for holiday vacations. Otherwise, or even so, I'm sure we'll at least get a written status update from them on the situation.

Wouldn't be surprised if we didn't, though. Not much faith.
