POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen

perhaps ive been too harsh to diablo 4... i would refund poe 2 and never play again, a bad game is till better than a unplayable one... ive tried to play yesterday and got insta pc freeze on login, and ggg still thinks its only a portion of people thats having this issue, i bet theres more people who having this and doesnt post here just stop playing with anger.
i suggest people downvote on steam to make poe 2 mostly negative, until ggg fix this issue.

They have communicated with us but I agree the lack of constant communication is annoying.

Sure, and what they communicated (we're aware of the error and trying to fix it) was fine for the first week or two, but it's been well over a month for me, around two for some people. A little more in-depth response is the very least that should have given since then, be it to warn people to stop playing when they meet this kind of error, talk about community workarounds or even talk about general progress on the fix so people don't waste their time checking this thread day after day only to learn nothing new.

You signed up for an early access which by its very definition is an incomplete game which may or may not contain software issues that affect your system, when those issues occur you report and stop playing, I've got games on my steam account that never left early access and had crazy bugs that never got fixed, its early access not a head start.
is annoying.

An incomplete game? Sure. Bugged and crashing? Absolutely, but those issues should be contained in the game, and not spill out into my system. Those kind of errors should have been filtered during their internal alpha testing, not early access. I've done that, reported and stopped playing but it's been well over a month already with no updates, it's already past the point of calling it ridiculous.

If these issues somehow got through their internal testing unnoticed, or started happening during early access, GGG should take actions promptly to safeguard their users until that stuff is fixed. Fuck ups are expected, even big ones, but the way they're handling it is as unprofessional as it can be and gives me no confidence at all on the company. The fact that you had to compare this mess to scams that never got finished and ended up in an unplayable state in order for them to even be seen in a positive light, just proves how bad this is being handled.

The thread keeps turning into idiotic conspiracy theories instead of fresh reports of the issue that are still popping for people that hadnt previously been affected, this is clearly an issue they havent figured out as of yet, does it make much of a difference if they come and say we are still trying to figure this out for you to then come back to this thread and respond angrily that they havent figured it out yet? They cant win no matter what they do so no wonder they remain silent and drip feed us instance crash fixes with each patch

Well, maybe if they talked about it, this thread wouldn't have turned into "idiotic conspiracy theories". And although I can't speak for everyone, I know that I would be way less worried about this bug and have way more respect for the company, if they posted something along the lines of:

"We're looking at it, but the problem is more complex than it seemed at first. It looks like it's related to x, y and z but right now we have idea when it's gonna be fixed.

Some workarounds that seem to work for some are X and Y, we don't recommend Z cause it can do more bad for your machine than good, even if it helps you run the game. If those workarounds don't work for you, we suggest you to stop playing it for a while as those hard resets aren't good for your machine.

We apologize for the inconvenience and as soon as this is fixed we will compesate those affected by giving out a 1.1x exp event for a week, or an item that makes your character look like it's frozen, or whatever nice and cheap thing we can think of as an apology."

In the past this happened a few times, but fine in general. Today it was the worst. 4 crashes over a few hours during the loading screen, having to hard-reboot the PC each time. Makes the game unplayable

Wondering if it could be related to the lastest updates to Windows 11 (Installed 2025-01 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems today) and NVidia drivers (566.36)

This is happening to Linux users as well don't let them blame windows on their buggy code.

So, just read an article about the Nidia driver update. It updates RTX card series 20, 30, 40, and 50 with DLSS 4.

I'm assuming that can help with the visuals in the game?

Sorry, that's all I've got for you on that.
