POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen

Hi guys,

Made a post about 130 pages ago saying the only thing that stopped the freezes was downgrading to Windows 11 23H2, well 2 weeks later still 0 freezes.

So instead of wasting time with bull**** solutions, like vulkan, hardware accelerated gpu scheduling, disabling PBO, sacrificing your first born child, doing rituals for the Machine God and so on and so forth just downgrade to 23H2 or do a clean install, pause win updates for a month and hope it gets fixed or you get bored and uninstall.

Cheers and Merry X-mas to everyone !

Some people don't think it's worth reinstalling windows for just one game when there are thousands upon thousands of other games - and especially when it's just one single game having trouble. I'd rather watch people complain while I'm waiting for a fix. If this was elden ring then i would've sacrified everything, but not for poe2.

Problem is that after 10 days you get f* by microsoft and do not have easy way out. Not only you need to do clean install but also cannot easily download 23h2 iso.

Right instead of wasting the time with "bullshit" solutions, GGG should do their work and fix their game.

You can't downgrade, if you've recently installed Win11.

Any update with this? its getting worse and worse. Can´t play anymore.

Yes.



I think this is not a GPU problem. This is CPU problem.


You known GPU drivers use CPU to execute its code?

Hi! Due to the fact that the topic is gaining momentum and many people can not play normally, I suggest to help understand the developers direction to solve the problem
By collecting statistics.
We have created a form where you can specify your PC configuration and attach a dxdiag file as requested by Timothy_GGG https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-posts/Timothy_GGG-0000.

I ask everyone to fill in the form, including people who don't have problems with PC freezing, so you will get structured statistics with problematic and working configurations. This should help to identify patterns of error occurrence, which in turn will speed up troubleshooting of the game.

(at least the information about configurations will not be scattered in the comments of the thread (170 pages omg)).

A dashboard with these statistics will be provided later.


Hey, guys.
We've gathered some stats with your responses on the form https://forms.yandex.com/cloud/676004d9e010db19370ab6c2/.
The link to the statistics is https://datalens.yandex.cloud/5rpsrgqcmw9ws-freezing-problems-stats.

I am still asking anyone who hasn't filled out the form to go through and fill it out, especially those who have encountered a problem.


Hey, everybody!
We have already collected almost a hundred answers and diagnostics files, of course, all this was sent to the developers, namely to him - https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-posts/Timothy_GGG-0000 .
You are great, thank you all and don't forget to fill out the form.

No Crashes for 24 hours+

I was getting a lock up every hour or so.

Turn off Hardware accelerated GPU scheduling. No performance impact for me and stable.

To turn off hardware accelerated GPU scheduling on Windows, you can do the following:
Right-click the Start button and select Settings
Select System
Select the Display tab
Scroll down and click Graphics settings
Locate and toggle off the switch for Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling
Restart your computer for the changes to take effect


Didn't help at all for me
PoE nowadays looks more and more like a fork server with tons of custom weird experimental stuff rather than original game with carefully thought out balance brough live to players.

You also can't downgrade if you did not install Windows 11 at all.

I am on Windows 10. I crash.

There are people here that are using Linux and they crash.

I have a friend with literally hundreds of PCs that have Win 11 24H2 installed, some of them crash, some of them do not. These are all the exact same build by the way. Built on the same day, used in the same place.

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