POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen

I tried everything posted here instead of unfreezer.

Running affinity makes the crashes more frequent but at least you can exit the game.

I noticed that the game can boost my cores more than any of synthetic benchmark. Software tricks like disabling boost via registry or setting CPU limit to 99% did not work because POE2 can somehow ignore that. Doing small negative PBO like -200 MHz did not work either.

I ended up with disabling SMT and -750 MHz pbo and running the game on 4 physical cores.

7800x3D, base clock is 4.2, boost 5050 according to bios so this put me to small boost like 4.3.

Maybe extreme and stupid but at least I can play. Maybe I will try to increase core count / lower negative boost until I find the breaking point.

Edit: Just after finishing this post I added 2 more cores to 6 instead of 4 and got instant crash.

The constant freezing and crashes i've experienced were tolerable, it would only take 10-15 minutes for me to go hop on and play again.

but after applying all these suggestions it kinda bricked my Laptop i play this on now.

I would drain/remove the battery because of course its a laptop, that's the only way of Dealing with a Freezing Unresponsive Screen.

But after applying all those:

"Do this", "This fixed it for me": has made my Laptop completely unbootable at this point.

I need to bring it to the Asus Service Center and God knows when i can bring factual information about what happened to the device at this point.

same here, i'll not play until they fix!

It's append again, changing location and have to unplug PC to restart, please fix it.

and i have this problem. bump!

Honestly wild they let the guy responsible for this take off for the holidays.

Christmas should be cancelled, get in the office and fix it.

3 times it freeze and restart before I can even load into hideout......

Same Problem here

AMD 78003xd
4700 TI Super
Win 11

Lag spikes on CPU load even in the games Menue. Even Sound is not getting out correctly during those spikes

For Intel users (specifically 13th and 14th gen users) suffering from this issue, I have the solution for probably a large portion of us. The windows version is completely irrelevant. I learned this in the dumbest way possible. I had a lot of friends begging me to attempt to play marvel rivals with them, upon downloading the game a large notification came up on the launcher that informed 13th and 14th gen users that if they are unable to load the shaders without their game crashing, they should download Intel Extreme Tuning Utility and set the Performance Core Ratio down from 55 to either 53 or 52.

My intel cpu was 11th gen and intel extreme tuning utility did not let me adjust cpu ratio but I tried to lower ratio in BİOS and it worked. I have dropped all cpus -2 (they were all 44-43) and It sloved the problem.
