Hard crashing PC locks up

What does 100% CPU usage mean when the system is stable and smooth (it happens)

VERSUS

100% CPU usage and the system malfunctions?

As a result of their apathy I have decided to never again spent another dime on GGG/PoE2 microtransactions, and left a negative review on Steam.

You do you man, I still have patience and trust that GGG will do right by me it's just going to take some time.

It's been three weeks since the game launched. They've acknowledged the issue once and this thread has one single post from them.

Hey, have you tried to install the last udpate of poeuncrasher?

Rollback to 23h2 also works for me. No freezes for 20+ hours.

I changed from DX12 to Vulkan and havent had a single crash for two hours. Also lowered all graphics to absolute minimum.

Coincidence?

Back to constant crashing. Great..

Several hours without freezing is not a reason to think that the problem is solved.
Sometimes freezing may not occur for many hours or even days, and then several freezings in a row.

I tried to play without any attempts to fix it and I can say with confidence. That even without trying to fix something. You can move between locations 100 times and everything will be fine.
But the next day you will not be able to simply enter the game 2 times in a row.

PoEUncrasher does not make my PC freeze. Sometimes it cannot restore the PoE service, but for now, it is good enough for me to play and not force shutdowns.

To all the people who argue that this thread has only 1 reply from devs: you are entitled and just want attention.
They know there is a problem, and they are working on it. Some dev writing in this thread is just a waste of time, especially when it only has the purpose of calming some impatient folks.

Game NOT loaded on SSD. Opened the big map with U while other people were in party fighting.
Map buffered. Hard crashed PC
Disabled my video card.
My drivers and chipsets were not present. I couldn't even open the program for my video card.

Fix was a manual install of my video card drivers and chipsets.

I'm very dissappointed.
I put in a lot of effort to be available to play games on Christmas day. But.. I use my PC for more than entertainment. I can't place risk to my business for the game.
