Hard crashing PC locks up

"
This right here is exactly facts for me, after poe2 constantly crashed my pc, i had long term issues like monitor flickering and game crashes on other games, and after a restore, it fixed it. I thought it had something to do with malicious software, but since i rarely download anything other than games, it was really weird why right after the constant boots, it started messing up. Even more so that it was fixed after a restore.


oh yea for sure

those PC lock up crashes, and having to force shut down my pc 30+ times must have corrupted many system files

i hope people realize this, because i didn't know what was wrong with my PC until i did a full reset

and if anyone finds this post, know that i am not talking about the "quick reset"

i'm talking about the windows "full reset" that can take up to 6 or more hours to complete

because i tried doing quick resets, trust me i tried everything

but once i did that very long full reset my PC was like it was when i first built it

BTW:

i've been playing POE2 for many hours for basically 3 days, and haven't had a single crash

whatever they did worked for me, thankfully

in loading i can see my second monitor seems to struggle sometimes (not anything like before, but just a little bit) and sound kind of gets affected while it loads, but its not that bad

and then its fine, the loading goes through, never takes a long time at all, loading is very quick for me

i don't have any CPU cores locked, and i have multi-threaded on.

everything is on high

but i do have POE 2 on high priority, just to add

i did take one of the people here post advice to set NVIDIA cache to unlimited

and that's about it, apperantly i can play POE 2 as much as i want, go through any loading screen as much as i want and everything is fine for me, but i do see some people are still crashing

my specs:

7800X3D

4090

32GB Ram

I came back from a vacation that lasted 2.5 months
updated Windows, drivers, BIOS, the game via steam and..... it still reboots my computer after a few minutes))))))))

ps:
ryzen 7800x3d
rx6950xt
ddr5 32 gb
psu 850w
win 11 last

tried to disable overclocking, reinstall windows for 10\11, to pray, etc..

pps: of cource also i tried to play other heavy games: (rdr2, cdc2, gow, cyberpunk)


)


today i found a person with a PC setup similar to mine. we checked all the components separately and it was the video card. i freaked out and bought a new one - and everything works now.

i repeat, this is a very strange coincidence, because all the OTHER games (except poe2 and diablo4, kek), stress tests, render - work PERFECTLY. no crashes.

thanks ggg for the reason to upgrade the video card.
Am I the only still crashin like crazy? I can't even log in to my char anymore... when I'm lucky, I get to the main menu and try switching a few settings....

Tried Vulkan, dx12, dx11, windowed, full screen, all resolution options....

There is simply no fix.

Hard crashing. Since December and no Fix yet.

Sad...

Look at the GGG Response.. so its the players PC Builds faults right?

Didn't i tell you it was the software [Removed by Support]

Nope. First off calm down. The second - you're completely missing the entire point. I don't see any reason to disscuss with you because you lack very basic knowledge of your OS internals and how it interracts with your hardware. Waste of time. Just wait till the problem will be fixed.


Im not even actively checking this POE2 Game anymore.
The Company Charges people for early access and has tons of issues?

Its not even a matter of hardware anymore at this point if i can play a more graphically demanding game.

Most customers don't need to figure those things out.
Again i will tell you;

1. If you post minimum requirements as your specs to play, and i boot it up and it hard locks my entire PC.

That can or cannot be a hardware problem.

But if i play a more graphically demanding game and i don't crash, i don't hardlock for 48 hours straight now even leaving it on a graphic intensive area at high settings with no issues.

Isn't that an optimization problem with the game.. and that's on the Same PC that i recently had repaired.

At the end of the day, now your telling people to wait.. whereas in the beginning you were shaming people for getting excited to try and play this game.

Like i said im back her to spite you for all the misinfo and taunts you've been doing across this thread, because i can play MONSTER HUNTER WILDS without CRASHING AND HARD BRICKING

- New Player for Early Access

I'm 30 hours into Monster Hunter Wilds with zero crashes. 48 hours into KCD2 with zero crashes. I launch PoE2 and it hard locks my entire rig after about 30 minutes. I wasn't even in a map. I was just going through my stash.
