Early Access Bug Reports - POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen - Forum

I do not have this issue so I cannot test. I see a lot of crashes happen during loading. When loading I also see the CPU can be or is maxed out. So i'm just wondering for those crashing, if you reduce "Maximum Processor State" from 100% to 50% in windows, do the crashes continue? Just troubleshooting.

Well idk what to tell you. Rolling back didn't fix it on my desktop, still crashes the whole system on 23h2. Rolling back on my laptop did fix it. So clearly much more complicated than you think.

Same issue	Posted by Flaum#8224 on Jan 17, 2025, 7:54:08 AM Quote this Post
Hello, It's been a while I stopped playing because of this issue, I waited for the patch and this is rather disappointing. GGG has absolute no clue how to fix their game engine. If I ask for a Steam refund, will I get refund for EA + stash tabs I bought ? Last edited by Shade#9053 on Jan 17, 2025, 8:03:13 AM	Posted by Shade#9053 on Jan 17, 2025, 8:02:56 AM Quote this Post
I know it might not be helpful and already known, but I'm playing on Windows 11 up-to-date and using the tool BES to limit the CPU usage to ~90% on the poe process. It's the only way for me to play the game and I'm on 180 hours playtime already. Sometimes it's still crashing, but I enabled it every time when I'm on the login screen before I pick my character to proceed. You can also limit your cores but it doesn't work out well for me like just using 6 out of 8 cores. And normally, you guys shouldn't be able to brick your PC with it, as holding your power button for 4 seconds enables the BIOS soft-off and just restart your system after. It's just super annoying when you have friends you play with, without any issues...

The recent patch appears to have significantly worsened the problem. The manual core and usage limits I previously used are no longer effective. I hope the dev team prioritize investigating this issue and finding a resolution or workaround as soon as possible. Good Luck	Posted by Blue2134Streaming#5225 on Jan 17, 2025, 8:24:01 AM Quote this Post
