I'm continuing to crash after the latest patch. I noticed that I've actually still been running on 23H2 and getting the hard crashes on zone transitions that everyone is describing.

Is there anything to gain or lose by updating to 24H2?

Nope, I'm running 24H2 and it's crashing for me.

Downgraded to Windows 23H2 a couple of hours ago, now I'm crashing when clicking Login on server selection, at least in 24H2 I was able to play before a loading screen

Posted this in the other thread as well, but would be curious if it works for people:

For those who are having the issue where your PC hard freezes during loading screens, either this tool or the manual workaround (setting the process affinity of PoE) might help: https://github.com/Kapps/PoEUncrasher/

Stil no response from them.

has anyone tried this? after having crashed enough times and having to go through repair mode i'm holding off until a proper fix is out.

mine was doing the same thing, freezing my PC completely on loading screen for maps sometimes, but I switched from the NVIDIA Studio driver (i train AI models so i didnt want to but) to the most recent Game Ready Driver, and it stopped freezing my PC, now for over half my maps, seems like higher level ones it happens more with, it just lets me in the map, I can walk around and do stuff but about 3-8 seconds later it boots me to the login screen, and when I re-enter the game, my portals are gone, the map is gone, and I am back in my hideout or wherever I entered the map from.

Was running into issues where the game would occasionally crash when loading... ok fine.

I think the abrupt shutdowns started to make things worse as windows would then randomly reboot... ok fine.

Reformatted to Windows 11 23H2 and re-downloaded POE2.... can't even make it past the two gears at the starting screen. What the heck?????

Exactly my problem, I had crashes, loading screens, now I cant even past the login button and I already downgraded to Windows 23H2 reinstalling all my OS

following worked (for me) and game stopped freezing completly, nothing else worked (tried everything with cpu/fps lock, nothing worked) :

make a exception in the Windows defender for follwing folder: "C:///User/User/appdata/roaming/Path of exile 2" --> restart computer one time --> no freezes and much smoother loading without any lag -->

windows defender was checking the shader cache everytime while it was created during the loading

this works, try it,

not any other program that doesnt work needed, just a setting in the windows defender

just tried it, doesn't work.
The solution for me, if I really want to play this game while they are silent, is to disable multithreading every time I enter any location
