POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen

Same issue

AMD 5800X3D

RTX 4800

WIN 11 24H2
This helped me:
I went into the POE2 folder and switched compatibility for Win8 on with both .exe files there. No frozen loading screens any more.
It's been 10 days and still nothing to fix this issue. I feel like this should be taking priority instead of focusing on nuking people's builds. Constantly having to hard reset our computers is not good for our hardware and it's starting to piss me off that it's not being addressed.
At this point the best option is to report the game on Steam, so that we can have the option to request refunds despite being over the play time limit. It might also alert Steam to put a "potential hardware damage" warning, hopefully saving some people from losing their PCs to this.
started getting this freeze after my pc windows decided to auto update from 23h2 to 24h2. my system is using ryzen 3600x and rtx 4060. i think the freeze problem only occur in w11 24h2.

IF you had read this thread, or checked the last 10 pages or so you would have seen that this is not a Windows issue. I have Win10 22H2. I crash.

There are reports from every kind of Windows versions here, we all crash.

Same here. Sometimes heavy FPS drop durign exploring (got me killed at least twice) and total PC freeze on porting to new map. Portal/waypoint - doesnt matter.
Hard crash.

7800X3D / 4070Ti / 24H2

24H2 definetely has something to do with this because I played 70+ hours with no problems at all and suddenly after updating Windows, my computer freezes every few maps. So yeah, this update has something to do with it.

I know people were crashing since day 1 but a lot of people started to crash after the Windows update.

If the crash had something to do with Win11 24H2 specifically then it wouldn't have crashed on other versions.

7800x3d CPU
4080 SUPER GPU
Had crashes with both 23H2 and 24H2 (Win 11 forced the update btw)

My solution to this was: whenever I'm about to port I turn OFF Engine Multithreading.

Whenever I'm back to playing the map, I turn it back ON.

Until they solve it I'll keep it that way.
