POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen

Jan 11th and I am still having complete freezes of my PC, only a hard reset will get me back to Windows. I start to see the mouse slowly start inching on the screen, (without me touching it) CTRL+Alt+Delete is unresponsive, Windows+Tab, nothing works...keyboard is unresponsive as well. ONLY THING THAT WORKS GGG IS A HARD RESET...FIX YOUR GAME! We can't all be having the same experience without some serious similarity causing it!

Today: going to reinstall drivers for my Asus 4070 OC EVO Dual

Update: Re-installed drivers, still game froze my PC on loading screen...never got to hideout...

Uninstalling whole game, trying a complete fresh install, hoping it will allow me to get in.

If this doesn't work going to play Torchlight Infinite...sadge...I can't even get into POE2 to play it...never seen it this bad...

Will share info if fresh install worked or not.

Intel i5-11600
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB
ASUS ROG Strix B560-A
ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 4070 Super OC

Windows 11 24H2 (sadly made the mistake of updating...can't roll back)

Also freezing problem here. Verified game files twice. Just freezing @ loading screens. Have to hard reset computer to restart. Completely frozen. CTRL + ALT + DEL, Alt+Tab. Nothing works anymore. Hopefully this BS will be fixed tomorrow @ 12 januari patch.

Well they have some patch notes and live-stream stuff coming up very soon, so perhaps some stuff will come from that. Like everyone else in this thread I am tired of crashing and frustrated by the lack of communication.

I'd rather they would come out and say, 'Hey listen this is an issue that's deeply rooted in our engine and requires a major rework. Please be patient' instead it feels like they are just ignoring it and waiting for people to give up and move on.

same here, pls fix this fast ! 2070super / 5800 x
i have the same issue for the past few days since patch F im taking a break from the game untill they fix it im pretty tired of force restarting my computer every other t15 map as i just got to them this has taken all the fun out of the game..
Having this issue for a long time, only thing that works is disabling multi thread when u go for loading screen and then turn back on (because its not playable with it off).

Still it works sometimes and sometimes just completly freeze.
