Just got another crash. I really wish I could play this game.
So - out of curiosity - Shroud mentioned turning off 2 cores. Which 2 cores should you disable for the time being?

not sure, but i would do 0/1 or 2/3 or 4/5 etc etc. like that pattern. Not exactly sure what he does. But when doing this be ready to end task when your poe2 client freezes. As 24H2 user I turned on developer mode where you can rightclick the icons on desktop bar and theres option to "End Task" there without going to task manager

Edit: This is what i did when i "tried" to still paly the game. This brings me to desktop crash only but ocasionally still freeze my pc when 2 cores were disabled. Maybe i core-offed incorrectly but i gave up

Someone else might have a better technical answer...

Say there's CPU 0, CPU 1, CPU 2, and CPU 3 -- CPU 0 and CPU 2 are physical cores, with 1 & 3 being logical. Disabling Simultaneous multithreading (SMT) entirely would mean disabling every logical core. But just disabling two might be best with CPUs 1 & 3.

Yup I just tuned into his stream and caught him addressing the crash. I couldn't find a clip of him actually crashing on stream though.
Hi, I thought maybe telling what I did will help others.

First of all, my PC is new-built.

RTX 4070 Ti
Ryzen 7 7800X3D
32GB Corsair RAM
AsRock B650 Steel Legend WiFi

My PC froze, since the beginning of the Early Access and I was worried that something is wrong with my hardware. But by testing other games and letting a friend of mine run PoE 2 too, with a similar rig to mine, I knew that there is no hardware issue on my side.

addressing the dude, that tells everyone their RAM is broken and PoE 2 is the only way to find out, like a deep-check, if something is wrong with it. No, it definitely isn't a RAM issue, maybe some rare cases do get these errors cause of their hardware, but majority isn't.

MY SOLUTION (?):

Since that friend of mine crashed and he told me he is on Windows 11 23H2, I didn't believe that downgrading to 23H2 will fix the problem. I read that a lot of people said this happened since a while now, also in PoE 1.

Keeping that in mind, I decided to go for 22H2, I got the ISO from UUP dump. If some of you are willing to try the same, there are several guides out there on how to build the ISO file. Since my PC was still pretty "clean" - trying wasn't an issue.

I flashed an USB Stick with Rufus with the 22H2 ISO-File and re-installed my Windows, deleting everything. If you do the same, keep in mind to disconnect your ethernet cable, otherwise Windows will automatically try to go for 23H2 (Happened to me once, had to re-install again)

After installing Windows, all I did was downloading the drivers from NVIDIA (the latest) - the AMD Chipset Drivers, LAN/Bluetooth/WiFi Drivers restarted my PC and downloaded PoE 2. I didn't touch any of the game settings, I just tried my luck and I "stresstested" restarting PoE, like 15 times. Loading from Waypoint to Waypoint, switching areas and no PC freeze. I had discord running and Opera GX, also no freeze.

Since then everything is running fine and AFAIK the only problem is everything loading-related, being in an area and playing never caused a freeze, atleast for me and some others.

!IDK if this is important for anyone, but because it's working right now, I'm not running Wallpaper Engine anymore and I didn't try yet. I'm really unsure at the moment what exactly causes this problem to happen. Need to test this out more.

Will edit my post, if the freeze returns magically, fingers-crossed that it stays like that. I'm happy to help some of you out and will post this on other threads and red

I'll post my game settings here, that automatically came with starting the game, maybe this will help some of you:
