POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen

btw guys make sure to try and get your comments in for the livestream on sunday, when they're doing a live podcast.

they should absolutely have it as one of their questions for the devs, regarding the status of this being fixed
Same problem here. This is not a Windows issue, it is a POE2 issue. Issue persisting since product was installed on a brand new build with entirely new parts. Running:

Mobo: X670E GAMING PLUS WIFI
Processor: 9800X3D
RAM: 32GB DDR5 @ 6000MHz
GFX: 4070 SUPER

Running on Win 23H2. The claim that rolling back Win to a previous version as a surefire fix is inaccurate. This works for some but not for others.

In game settings don't matter, as it persists through all variety of configurations.

Downvoted on Steam until a fix is implemented and play ceased for now. If no fix is implemented, I will refund the game.

I have the same build, except with a 4080 super, and I have the same exact issues.

You will have hordes of toadies on GGG payroll marching in to tell you that it's your rig's fault, and not the game. Be prepared.
another Day on GGG's office..
Honestly hoping today is they day they fix this crashes
I hope they highlight the PC crashes in the patch interview stream.

There's no point in discussing anything else with the game if you can't get past the damn character selection screen...

My fear with them talking to Twitch streamers is that they'll just get dumb, softball gameplay questions and butt-kissing.

I built a very similar setup except with a 4080 super this fall.

When these problems started happening during the first week of release, one of the first things i did was run stress tests with 3dmark to make sure it wasn't my system.
I ran a total of 200 loops with no issues, i stress tested it several times with the Wukong Benchmark aswell as played 100+ hours of it on cranked up settings, had no problems with any other title prior to PoE2 that i've played on it.

I literally was idling in town yesterday and it locked my PC again.

Whoever is arguing that it is not a PoE2 issue is illinformed and should just keep to themselves.

Your entire system crashes, not just PoE 2.

Yeah including Linux based systems.. So maybe 2 of the most used Operational system's in the world are the problem, crashing everyone's here pc's.. And Poe2 has a flawless code, as an Early Acess game.. What a marvelous achieve isn't? Maybe Poe2 devs could get in touch with Microsoft to help them fix their System then

This problem not only in PoE2, same freeze in PoE1
They need to add a "slow load" maps option that loads maps on one thread until they figure out what's causing the crashes.

I agree it's some interaction between the specific setup and the windows kernel/prefetcher etc.

Fast fix first, permanent fix later.
