Installing BES (Battle Encoder Shirase) and limiting POE2 by 5% solved the crash issue totally for me. I didn't have a single freeze for 2 days now.

I confirm that this solution completely fixes the problem.

Hi,
I had quite a few PC Freezes and needed to use power button to restart since the PC didnt react at all. On top of that I have regularly ping spikes, which also didnt get better by changing gateways. And now I have low fps (30-40) since last crash. I did take a quick look what possibly the reason can be and didnt find anything.

I have come to a point where I will stop to play the game for now. Hopefully you can find the issue.

Some data about my system if that helps:

7800X3D
4070 Super
Windows 24h2

GGG are sleeping. 😴

My BES dsnt see POE2 process. Even when freez on.

many have tested BES and still had crashes

Keeping this thread alive.
I am using Vulkan now, and it has fewer freezes, but never zero.
Whenever it freezes I just disable multi-threading till the loading screen is done and then activate it again.
I am pretty sure multithreading issues are not easy to fix at all, but GGG needs to acknowledge this as a problem in the first place because at this point I feel like they're just ignoring it as if it's not something they'll invest time in.

I just sent the dxdiag info to Timothy at GGG. Since yesterday the game has been completely unplayable for me with constant computer freezes, whereas before the recent patches I had it happen here and there during loading screens and not at this frequency.

Specs: 5800x3d, 4080, 32GB RAM, Windows 24h2.

I want to let everyone know that since I downgraded to windows 11 23h2, the issue is gone.

Ty mate. I have now 23h2 and dsnt work for me but thx for notice. I test even older drivers nvidii with that and newest. With vulkan or dx11.

This is crazy, no game that I played pushed my CPU to 100% to a very high temperature. I played Elden Ring/RDR2/GoW/Wukong/BG3 everything on 4k 60FPS and these games were not even close to push my CPU usage like PoE 2 is doing. We clearly have a poorly optimazation here that is causing all these crashes. Do not sleep on this GGG!

I was running in a window for more then an hour, and that worked quite well for me. No more crashes and freezes. BUT... It just happened again in a load screen.. Complete PC freeze. Had to hard reboot the whole PC. I remember that the load screen issue also happened on path of exile 1, but then you could just kill the process (if I'm correct). This is not helping in the experience with the early access.
