POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen

"
Guys, just disable Engine multithreading from Options > Graphics. Never had a crash since i disabled it


Ya bro, enjoy your 30 fps. I'm not disabling multithreading on my 9800X3D.

GGG can fix their game instead.
Still. All updated. Reported several times.

Complete crash, not even to desktop, no 3-finger salute, hard restart of the machine required.

Every.

Time.

I.

Play.

Hundreds of pages. No word from GGG.

GGG FIX IT PLS
only thing working 100% for me is setting the affinity by hand after starting the game, at least this way it just crashes and doesnt freeze my entire pc


in the taskmanger -> details -> search for poe process, right click and set affinity.. remove 2-3 cores

I experience the load-freeze problem but I've switched from "windowed-fullscreen" to "windowed" and I haven't had problems since (could be luck). Can those who freeze during loading please try this?

Make sure it's windowed and not windowed-fullscreen.

If it works or not, please post the result and let me know so I can edit my forum post regarding this. I know it it would be surprising if it works.

Lets all drink red bull jump out of a plane and hope for the best.
Same issue. The only thing which helps 100% is playing in a window (i.e. not fullscreen windowed, but in a window with title bar, which can be put to full screen). I bet there's some race condition in the engine behind this, or some obscure interaction with the driver (or likely combination of issues which makes this difficult to debug). Good luck devs! (just a hint, if I may, nobody will read it anyway: try putting sleeps to order threads execution in a reproducible way, while it seems stupid it's a simple technique which helps a ton to find race conditions, once you at least suspect something).
bump PLEASE. been trying to play for the first time sense release and it crashes on so many loading screens
