Hard crashing PC locks up

The way they're handling multi threading is threatened by modern standard, upgraded UEFI and well secured OSes as a core threat, thus stopping the suspicious threads marked as threat. Similar to how speculative/transient execution CPU vulnerabilities works.
But as the main program isn't flagged as a threat and is considered secure, the OS do not stop it from generating new threads, and the whole process works like a fork bomb.

At this point, i strongly suggest GGG to make a full review of their networking code and to enable fork bombing detection on their compiler because it is something that should never happens.

Bumping this.
Bump to wake them up.

Based on the way they addressed the issue of crashes and freezes when asked about them by Darth Microtransaction in their interview yesterday, it doesn't seem like they are even looking at their own code as the culprit. They immediately kicked the ball to Nvidia and seem to be waiting to see if Nvidia's next driver update fixes all thing things. Nevermind the fact that there have been issues with POE1 as well over the years that have never been addressed.

They built POE2 on POE1's engine, netcode and all, and they don't seem too motivated to make any changes.

Funnily enough I tried playing this on the very first rig I build myself back in the day. Despite being way below minimum requirements, it works? Imagine that. A i5-2500k (14 year old cpu btw) + R9 280X are more stable than a modern 7800X3D RTX 4090 rig. That's actually kinda funny, all things considered.
Welp, after 2 weeks of trying every possible fix with nothing working I found my 'solution'.

Turned out I had 3 corrupted files in my Steam install. After verifying and re-installing the files, my game worked again. Before that I had a crash on loading Hunting Grounds/Act 1 on every try.

Weird stuff.
Started to hard crash even with POeUncrasher

Given how long this issue has existed and how little acknowledgement the matter has received from the devs its pretty clear to me that this inst a priority to GGG. Their lack of communication regarding this makes it explicitly clear that they have plenty of players for whom the game is working fine and they don't care to invest any time/resources for a subset of players they don't need. I think this issue will not be fixed anytime soon, if ever, and this entire thread is being outright ignored. Big shame bc the game seems amazing but I'd rather not play at all than mess up my pc with the constant crashing.

Ditto over the past 2 days. PoEUncrasher was working GREAT. Probably time for a break anyway
