POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen

Same on Intel Core i5-12400F, 3060Ti, 32GB DDR5 and Win 24H2 (updated to it in November, had no issues in POE1 and POE2 on launch, started recently in both games). No issues in other games or software
I tried everything : Lasso , BES , Vulkan etc etc ..

Crash or "auto-reboot" when teleport or loading a new zone.

The only way I found is disable Multithreading and I play 20/30 Fps :'(

I'm waiting for a patch.

GL everyone.

going into task manager and setting the task to only use all except one core makes is so on crash you can still end the task and wont need to restart the pc

Wow even Shroud... yeah, makes you wonder why GGG are so fixated on fixing the game balance when there's people with $5K PCs that cant even run a $30 game.
Why are you all still on 24H2? Take just one hour to do a clean install of 23H2, and you'll be amazed at how much better it performs. The difference in Windows smoothness and game performance is night and day.

This isn’t just about PoE—plenty of other games are affected too.

In just the past week, there have been numerous reports of various issues, all pointing to 24H2 as the culprit.

Since switching to 23H2, I haven’t had a single freeze. The so-called fixes shared recently don’t actually resolve the root cause; they just make the problems slightly more tolerable. The only real solution is to move to 23H2. And for those who make the switch, take note of how much smoother all your games run—it’s a noticeable improvement.

It’s frustrating to see this thread still full of people experiencing issues while staying on 24H2. I feel like I’ve been given a fresh start after reinstalling Windows, but some of you are still stuck. One person even mentioned they can’t play over the holidays because of these problems. You could’ve been enjoying your games issue-free a week ago by switching to 23H2. Don’t wait any longer!

I played 3 days on 24h2 without any problem until december 9 patch.
Problems only in POE2.
Clean reinstall only for 1 game - no thanks.

White-knighting much? What about the people who face this issue with 23H2? Dude these fans are even worse than D4’s.
This is insane, I have to restart the pc like 10 times to play 1 hour.
If you have windows 11 change to windows 10, here is the solution from me, 6 Days since the change 0 feezing, before I had a lot of them all the time and tried all thing with windows 11.
There is a problem with Windows 11 with some games and programs

There are people reporting constant crashes happening to them in Win 10, so this is clearly not the case. Glad it worked for you.
