Tune in to watch GGG actively avoid discussing this issue at all and instead talk about meaningless balance changes that nobody has the capacity to care about because the game crashes.

It's literally happening right now. Whether they have chat open or not people have been talking about this for long enough where this is clearly ignorance by choice lol

That's because this is not an issue with the game. I haven't experienced this issue for almost a full month now after downgrading to Windows 23H2. I also installed the game on my Fedora (Linux) drive and it works flawlessly.

The people who are having issues are either too lazy to downgrade the Windows version, or have a very specific issue related to some drivers/hardware that is not on GGG to solve

You have zero data to support this claim. There are many comments with people downgrading and continuing to experience this issue and across a variety of high-end hardware, across all relevant driver versions.

If it's 24H2 fault, then why the hell POE2 is the only game, I'm facing issue with? Cyberpunk 2077, Witcher 3, both with 4k graphic mods - no issues at all. Tested on tons of different games, the only game I'm facing issue is POE2.

Because it's a PoE2 problem. You're replying to a GGG toady trolling you.

They've yet to bring this up in their 'interview' that they're doing right now, so I wouldn't hold your breath for a fix.

Watching the stream right now. This issue doesn't seem to be a priority for the devs nor for the community that is asking questions. I don't know.

We are 1 hour into the interview and the topic isn't even talked about.

Here's what's going to happen. The interview will only be based on the game, in-game changes, fixes to builds, etc. They will not address the CPU PC Freeze at all. They will sweep it under the rug, and not even acknowledge it. WHEN they do get around to fixing it, it will just be a line on a massive set of patch notes. They know any light shed on this game / PC breaking bug will not be good for their marketing / wallets. I'm out, I can't in good conscience support this company anymore.

We are less than 1% of the userbase, that is why, also the community keeps shifting the blame to the users (as you can see on this thread), it is clearly not a priority, that for sure.

That's a hot take. They literally just admitted to a breach that caused account compromise.

There are plenty of other games that have these issues in 24H2.

Also, I could reverse that question for you. If PoE 2 is the issue, why did it get resolved when downgrading to 23H2 and why does it work perfectly on my Linux drive?

Check for comments in this thread. People are experiencing same issues on 23H2, 22H2 and even Win10 xD

Can you at least read this thread in good faith before posting? As other users have pointed out, downgrading to 23H2 and Linux is not a guaranteed fix.

Do list which games freeze and crash your OS? The various Ubisoft games Microsoft mentioned have completely different problems with 24H2. Also there are some HDR issues with certain games - but again completely unrelated.
