POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen

Hi. My pc complete freeze too and im need force hard reset!

gpu 3060ti
amd r5700x
windows 11 24h2

any solution?

On my system this game consumes 4gb vram and 90% cpu in main menu while in the maps - 3gb vram and less cpu. Kinda joke. Perfomance is the same everywhere. My main menu and loading screen are stuttering so bad to 3-5 fps as well as in the maps. Everything was working fine until the last patch, had my 60 fps.

Same here, had 3 PC freezes today and just bought the game, kinda dissapointed when people also say its even in PoE1 then u cant excuse this with EA game. And seems it will not get fixed soon when the first post is already 2 weeks old. Are refunds possible when u dont bought the game on steam? Seems its atm not worth to payed the 30Dollar.

when fix unplayable. biggest bug ingame didn't fixed yet.

How come we have NO communication at all about this matter from the official teams? Like seriously? Are they not checking their forums? THere is 243 freaking pages about the matters, wake up!!

Yes, it's a Windows issue. There can be PoE bugs that would make the game freeze or stop responding. Oh, I'm sure there are quite a few of these, it's Early Access after all.

But the operating system freezing completely? Yes, it's a Windows problem, it's a Windows bug.

How does Linux also get this Windows bug then?

This part of your sentence is a complete and utter lie:
"No no, this is just a software problem, it's not going to damage the hardware."

I don't know why you are trying to harm other people but stop this behaviour.

If you were simply misinformed then you can educate yourself by reading this I'm copy-pasting from my old reply:

That is quite a stretch, congratulations. You are basically saying that any power cut to a computer is damaging the hardware.

And it's not going to damage the software either, unless said software has also bugs (which is possible, this is Windows). File systems have journaling, and properly written software will update files in a manner that is safe if interrupted at any point by a power cut (write()/fsync()/rename()/fsync(), etc.).

I'm not going to respond to every statement, but there's no need to be condescending in your peculiar crusade to claim that GGG is damaging people's hardware (programmer for the past 20 years here, plenty of CUDA/Vulkan, some contributions to the Linux kernel and system libraries, etc.).

"any power cut to a computer is damaging the hardware"

It does. This is literally one of the very first things you learn in electrical and computer engineering. Being a programmer does not make you an engineer, so I don't know why you have added that info there as if it would mean something.

If you are interested you can educate yourself by using the spoilered portion of the previous post as a starter.

If there was a software that protected hardware fully against electrical damages (impossible due to software being reliant on hardware having the power to sustain its processes but let us just assume that) then the entire sector would have made it so that your warranty would be void when you did not use that software (because mitigation of damages is on customer's side).

Furthermore, I ask anyone who sees this message to please give a negative review for Path of Exile 2 on Steam.

they are on vacation, but that doesnt mean this silence is ok...i posted this before and ill keep doing it...GUYS JUST GO TO STEAM AND DOWNVOTE THE GAME, GIVE THEM A HONEST REVIEW ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING...COMPANIES ONLY ACT ON EMERGENCY WHEN THEY LOSE MONEY...ITS SIMPLE.

I have not played the game for more than a week, such freezes can break the computer,
nothing but turning off the multi-stream does not help, but without it it is impossible to play

i5-12450h
rtx4060 laptop
win 11 24h2 (and my friends have the same update, and none of them have such hard freezes)

after the developers announce that they will leave for the weekend after the balanced patches, it becomes sad

Does this happen on the standalone version of the game too or is this just a Steam version issue?

Still not fixed. I am tired of having to set cpu affinity every time I start the game and finally toggling multithreading on/off when I fail to load into a map after using 2/3 portals.

I was hoping and expecting this to be fixed by now, but whatever the issue, it persists after 2 weeks and many patches.

So, at this point with no date in sight for a fix, I am just setting up a virtual machine so I can install windows 10 and PoE2 and play through that. Hopefully that fixes the issue for me. Worst case, it will at least let me more easily manage the system resources I give the game so I no longer have to deal with CPU affinities or worry about damaging my system.
