Update 0.1.0e made crashes 10 times worse. I can't even login anymore (this on Windows 11 22H2 with 7800x3D, not even 24H2)

Same. Before I could maybe a get a few hours in if I was lucky. now I cant even load into the game. And if I somehow do make it in, I will crash as soon as I go back to town.

It just gets worse and worse. Now it doesn't even load the game into the menu.

Like, what do we even do man? This is ridiculous.

Nothing. You do nothing. Your money was spent, as was mine and it’s gone to waste. That’s it

Same thing is happening to me with a 7800x3d and a 4090.

Ya my friend crashes 80% of the time transitioning. We are done with this game until it gets resolved. It is not worth trying to reload windows or try the 20 dif things on Reddit. It is their issue. I paid $69 so I hope in a couple months I get my money out of it. Not recommending to friends at this point.
Oh and by the way. The Souls games they are mimicking I never played cause I HATE games like that.

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/

I downloaded the prebuilt 1.2.0 release, and Windows Defender reported that it contained Wacatac trojan. Uninstalled.

This isn't just a POE2 issue. It is also happening in POE1. The exact same pc freeze, during the same actions, loading maps or the game.

I get no crashes or crazy cpu utilization during load screens in any other games. Just POE1 and POE2. This is 100% a problem on GGGs end.

Most likely has something to do with the shaders because all the crash reports people are actually able to get, show shader as the error.

Try to play POE1, you will absolutely encounter the same issue. 100%

Same issue:

AMD 5800X
3080


Oddly this does not happen on my laptop at all:

AMD 5900H
3080 Notebook

I have the same problem.the game is unplayablefor me
