Hey i have been having constant pc freezes since launch. It has gotten worse with every update more or less and the last 2 days i could barley play at all becouse of it. Today i went in to (edit power plan) in windows, change advanced power settnings and set maximum processor state to 80%. I have tried this before with fails but i only set it to 95% and 90% then. Since changing to 80% i have manged to play the game for 6 hours straight without a single crash or freeze, this is the first time ever ive manged play without any issues for this long. Im aware my pc might still freeze sooner or later but at least maybe this tip will help others to play for longer play session.

Replying in this thread as well:

Okay, I think I found an actual fix. So setting the affinity of PoE to disable the first two cores will prevent your computer freezing, but PoE still gets stuck in a loop at 100% CPU without being able to make progress. When this happens, you can set the priority of PoE to realtime and whatever it's waiting on is then able to get scheduled and PoE unfreezes. You should then change it back to normal priority when the loading screen si done.

The new version of PoEUncrasher detects PoE freezing, and then does this to unfreeze it, resetting it after the loading screen automatically. The new version is up at https://github.com/Kapps/PoEUncrasher/releases/tag/v1.2.0. Note that you will need to run the program as an administrator for the unfreeze feature to work.

Hopefully this works for others!

I've tried everything from adding exceptions to deleting POE1 to clearing shader cache. Nothing works. I reinstalled the game and hard crashed froze completely again. switched to dx11 and loaded in the game, switched back to DX12 and it works now. The only other problem I'm gonna bring up is loading between zones uses 105% of utilization? I didn't even know it could go past 100%. temps go from 50-60C to 80-95C for a couple seconds. I don't feel comfortable with that at all still. People say X3D CPUs can handle temps that high but who would want to run your CPU 30-35C higher everytime you port to town or switch zones? People keep blaming windows and other things but the reality is other games don't behave this way. Marvel Rivals/D4/League Of Legends/ All don't spike utilization or temps like that. It would be nice to have an official response with a thread up with 200+ pages. Regardless Tried the edit power plan thing to 80% and that actually solved the issue. I've noticed temps don't skyrocket anymore and 80% utilization was max so far. Trying to monitor it is HWmonitor. Thank you for mentioning this. Just have to remember to turn it back to 100% while doing everything else.

Just reposting a working fix Kapps made from a few pages back - https://github.com/Kapps/PoEUncrasher

Is this safe? Windows Defender says it detects a virus in the file.

Source code looked clean from what I could glean. It did trigger for me too but it was a machine learning ping for a Trojan which makes a bit of sense since the program is instructed to read logs, which could look like a keylogger or such to a machine learning anti-virus?

Regardless, it worked great for me yesterday on the 1.0 version, still one crash but pc didn't lock up for the first time ever, otherwise I could play for hours. And the newer version I haven't tested yet claims to be able to fix the game locking up too.
