I had the same thing happen to me, all the people gas-lightning saying that "games don't kill any hardware" are just not knowledgeable enough. I have a pretty ok computer, i7-9700 3.6GHz, 32gb RAM, 3080 GPU Managed to play any game i've thrown at it recently at basically highest graphics After the loading screen in PoE2 where the character jumps in the water, my PC crashed and would not start again. After about 3h of tinkering, BIOS safe boots and just waiting, the PC started again but now the disk with PoE2 is bricked, i cannot even right click it without totally freezing Explorer	Posted by ghastendee#7687 on Dec 19, 2024, 2:05:29 AM Quote this Post

So setting the affinity of PoE to disable the first two cores will prevent your computer freezing, but PoE still gets stuck in a loop at 100% CPU without being able to make progress. When this happens, you can set the priority of PoE to realtime and whatever it's waiting on is then able to get scheduled and PoE unfreezes. You should then change it back to normal priority when the loading screen si done. The new version of PoEUncrasher detects PoE freezing, and then does this to unfreeze it, resetting it after the loading screen automatically. The new version is up at https://github.com/Kapps/PoEUncrasher/releases/tag/v1.2.0. Note that you will need to run the program as an administrator for the unfreeze feature to work. If you don't run it as an administrator, it'll say it's setting it to realtime but Windows will actually set it to High and PoE won't unfreeze. Hopefully this works for others! I tried your new version and it recovered twice from crashes. Once it took around 8-10 seconds and the second time only 2-3 seconds. It seems to be working. Thanks!

i installed 2 days ago 23H2 Windows 11 and this is the only fix for 100 % fix. No bios changes, no scripts or anything like that. WINDOWS LISTED THIS PROBLEM ON HIS OWN SITE WITH 24H2, THAT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM TO LOAD GAMES WITH 24H2, Especially RYZEN AMD PROCESSOR USER I COULDNT PLAY 1 DAY WITHOUT CRASHES SINCE RELEASE, I couldn't play and watch a stream at the same time with 24H2. YESTERDAY I PLAYED 8 HOURS WITH STREAM, NO CRASHES, NO LOCKED UP. If you have an USB STICK, make this ! But i prefer FRESH INSTALL, CLEAN ANYTHING	Posted by mikefanta#7972 on Dec 19, 2024, 2:57:19 AM Quote this Post
I just can't play the game. Everytime I try to load a map the game freezes or even closes. Please, fix this, it's unplayable at this point.	Posted by paiste#4398 on Dec 19, 2024, 3:10:46 AM Quote this Post
