POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen

Tried again and the second loadscreen was a Full Crash again.

Since 24H2 update i have Black screen, when i Alt+tab and now poe 2 is crashing constant.

I was having crashes like every 2-3 times I switch an area. I was even crashing at the start screen after the GGG logo. Decided to switch to Vulcan from DX12 and haven't crashed since. Might be really lucky, don't know.

Windows 24H2
No POE uncrasher

I have the same issue. I have to force kill my PC 2-3 times every session ... because of that i am losing the fun in playing the game.

Here's mine :) https://youtu.be/oLaXT-Fwq1A

10mins of straight hard crashing, I need to use POEUncrasher otherwise my PC hard crashes with it...

Since the patch, the game has become unplayable.

It's way past the time GGG should already have updated us.

Even if it's solely a windows problem, announce that.

It's not solely a Windows problem, but they seem to be keen on blaming 24H2 which is going to be a forced rollout soon. They'd better say something if they anticipate this getting worse before it gets better.

Hi GGG, where should i give you the adress for sending a new PC, because after hard-restarting it 5 times in a row, my mobo said fk this shit i'm out.

My PC still randomly locks up when loading into acts, maps, etc. beyond the login loading of the game. It is random and is a full freeze that requires a hard reset. Here is what I have done to try and narrow it down. Maybe this will be helpful to others.

First I reduced all the nVidia settings to "Ultra performance". My resolution is still 3440 x 1440 though. The freezing is signficantly less, but the game just doesn't look as aesthetically pleasing. The game does still fully lock up my PC when loading randomly into a map. Therefore, I decided to try something different.

I switched from DirectX 12 to Vulkan in ultra performance mode. I haven't had any issues for a couple days now. I decided to then increase the graphics back to defaults. So far, the game has not locked up on me. However, it can get laggy when too much is happening so I am still tweaking with what works with my system.

I am curious if others have tried switching from DirectX 12 to Vulkan and have noticed improvements?

Guys, listen up please!

That's not a Windows problem, ffs.
If it was, GGG would have already said like:

"Windows 24h2 has a problem with POE. We do not recommend using it right now." It's simple.

The problem is entirely on GGG's side.

trying to blame it on windows sis unprofessional. its the companies responsibility to make their program work on the os. I do wish ggg was faster with this though
