Hard crashing PC locks up

I just gave up at this point. I've tried pretty much all the various workarounds and nothing has stuck. I hope this gets a priority fix when they are back in the office.

The only option I have left is waiting, plus the fact that I wont be purchasing any supporter packs until I/ or my hardware is supported.

To anyone who just bought the game:
If you crashed once,
You will crash again.

For "loading freeze", there is a workaround called PoEUncrasher. It is a third party program. Decide on your own if you want to install a third party program to play a 30$ or 100$ game.

For other freezes, there are no fixes.

It is not Win 11, Win 10, Linux. If an OS can run PoE2, someone has crashed on it and you can probably see their message on one of the 650+ pages.

If you are using NVIDIA or AMD, there are some specific crashes that happen there but none are the "hard freeze" that requires manually shutting down your computer.

Furthermore, I ask anyone who sees this message to please give a negative review for Path of Exile 2 on Steam.

Try it and restart your PC

No thank you.

DONE!

I'm actually curious if people have really tested this (especially 24H2 users). There has been a lot of speculation that this could resolve at least one class of this hard lock:

Switching to core type of hypervisor scheduler solved my problem with PC crashes.
To select a scheduler type:
1. Open a command prompt with administrator privileges
2. Enter bcdedit /set hypervisorschedulertype core
3. Reboot PC

More info there.

What type of system are you on? Do you have SMT enabled and are you on 24h2? It would be wild if this fixed the issue since it would point to memory isolation and Microsoft's use of virtual machines for security as being at least partially responsible for the crash.

A reboot would also be required =) I should also add that disabling security features shouldn't be required to play a game and GGG needs to resolve this bug. This post is only to help point development in the right direction (maybe...)

If you OS managed to survive and felt into Bug Check screen (BSOD), please send the memory dumps to GGG (ideally to your manufacturers), but at least to GGG.

The dumps are located in
C:\Windows\Minidump
or
C:\Windows\Memory.dmp

Ensure the creation of memory dumps on bug check is enabled on your system using msconfig



PS If you're unsure what is it, use search and set the things up. Mdumps are VERY useful for the developers, because DxDiag.txt doesn't point to exact place where the problem occured. It's just your configuration report.

This happened to me while I just loaded up palworld, first time this ever happened to me. Never had my computer shut down before like that. I don't think this is a poe issue, and I only found out it wasn't an issue isolated through me from poe social media

3 crashes today after 1 hour, after relogging last time, my high tier map is closed for some reason, what a fun experience!!!

Bump

(Almost) Makes the game unplayable, I've had days with 10+ crashes in under an hour. I have the 7800X3D CPU

Can't believe this is still an issue. I am unable to launch the game without this happening within the first 15minutes of the playtime. Unfortunately i bought the game through a third party key seller, otherwise if it was on steam i would be requesting a refund.
