So, 1 month and 3 days since the release of Path of Exile 2 EA.

This thread is, as of now, 350 pages long. Excluding the "Known Issues" thread, absolute radio silence from GGG and its now crystal clear that they will not fix this issue.

Also, my crashing got worse and I reverted to 23H2.

Fix your game GGG.
I want to continue playing PoE2, but I cannot, as it endangers my pc. Can you at least answer us GGG?
I've had problems since release but the last patch has completely screwed me over, way more crashes, including a freeze that locked me out my computer till I reset my bios.

Now I'm crashing within a few minutes on any renderer on a brand new pc, this is an absolute fucking joke and I'm disgusted with how this has been handled. So disappointed with ggg lack of communication, don't know what else to say.

Hi GGG,
PLEASE, revert the 0.1.0f Hotfix 1!

After the smart person finally invented the POEUncrasher, I finally had an opportunity to play the game smoothly without any issues. But after today's fix, I can't even open the game anymore. I tried 4 times, 3 times it just froze but because of the POEUncrasher I could End the process, but on 4th time I received a hard PC freeze as it was before I started to use POEUncrasher, and it NEVER happened after I began to use it. (I play a lot)

Now I really hope that the POEUncrasher inventor will give me another chance to play the game (not sure it is now possible because Real-time priority doesn't help anymore). Otherwise, I am stuck to only playing this game using my ROG Ally or have to buy the key to use it on my PS5Pro (btw you could give it to me according to my lifetime spending on PC while the game is not working at all on PC)

POEUncrasher does literally nothing special, as you said "smart" meaning the author. It only automates the process that you can do yourself. If you'd read exact what it does the way it "detects the crash"(c) is super unreliable and it's just another bandaid over gaping wound.

Probably an X3D issue for you since I'm now able to run the game without PoEUncrasher on.
i had several freezes, but i've been turning off multithreading before map loading. Last crash was when i forgot to do this. Its very crappy but at least i can play. GGG please rewrite your whole cpu handling logic, no point in a game like this put high-end processors at 90C
Imagine instead of fixing the crash they have "fixed" PoEUncrasher...

Incredible. All they had to do, if they wanted to band-aid the problem was to incorporate PoEUncrasher to the game.

At this point I'm pretty sure that they have not checked ANY of the dxdiags they have requested. It is impossible to do this type of patch without going in completely blind.

I just hope that they haven't laid off developers secretly after they completed the game and now cannot find talented ones to fix the issue... (Some firms in the gaming industry is doing this)

Furthermore, I ask anyone who sees this message to please give a negative review for Path of Exile 2 on Steam.
I cannot send/reply to direct messages because my in-game character has not finished Act 1.
What to do:
1)Write a short review about the hard crashes in notepad.
2)Copy and paste it to steam reviews, put up a negative review.
3)Copy and paste it to steam discussions, put it up there.
