Hard crashing PC locks up

This issue has existed since the launch of the game and still no resolution. Very disappointed

They did not care after 200, what makes you think they will after 400?

Disabling hardware gpu scheduling in windows graphics settings solves the problem

Since i changed this on my PC i can play without any crashes.

I tried all the solutions people posted and this was the only one that worked

Mine was off since forever. It doesn't stop the crash from happening.

Fixed 12 Client Crashes.
Fixed 3 Instance Crashes.

Anyone tried after the patch??

After this patch its worse than ever for me.

I used to be able to play 9 out of 10 times if I deleted cache folders (not sure if this is necessary) and use process lasso to disable 2 cores and restrict the CPU by 2%. Now, however, I spent 90 minutes trying to play, and crashed/froze about 15 times. I was only able to get into the game twice, and would then crash on subsequent load screens. I tried DX12 and Vulkan.

I have been disabling multithreading every time I have to transition scene and that has allowed me to avoid the freezes. I just tested the patch and nope, still freezing when multithreading is enabled. It is happening with more frequency than ever before. I tried entering the same map twice and both times I froze instantly.

People still reporting crashes in the other thread. Sad

Because instead of squishing ourselves into 1 thread, we would be on the general thread and on the forum. If everyone who posted here made another post there and a separate thread we might get more attention.

I don't know if this is a clue, but I'm curious if anyone else has experienced it. A couple of times when I've had this crash, on the next boot of POE2, my video settings have reverted from Windowed Fullscreen back to Fullscreen.

Normally I'm playing POE2 on one monitor and still have my desktop open on the other so I can easily use my browser when I need to. Is there something about Windowed Fullscreen that might be related to the crashing?
