POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen

I decided to just uninstall the game at this point until they address it. I have 30 hours in and at least 28 hours of it was trying to solve this issue. Every other game works just fine without any issue. Unlucky. We wait.
I have lost two t16 maps on 82 lvl zones today, and I have lost ultimatum rewards and i have lost sekhmesis tier 4 rewards, all due to crashes, for some reason if you crash or disconnect, you lose all your rewards and port back out to entry zone.
try my tool on Nexusmods maybe :) Hope it will help you. It worked for me very good.

The new version didn't fix it either.

This phenomenon tends to occur if you play while watching YouTube.

I do not have an X3D processor and did not have any problems before the update today (as well as the Windows update). Happened on both POE2 Steam and standalone (it bricked my standalone install). Both times this happened was on a loading screen and was a hard lock both times (had to power down and power back on). I have my DXDiag information - where do I post it?
Disabling multithreading fixes the issue completely (not a single crash in 60 hours) but fps is rather uncomfortable

Google anti-addblock or anti non chrome browser ? Perhaps not the prime suspect, but sure must not help.
