POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen

Ridiculous how this is still an issue. I've been checking this thread periodically to see and it just hurts me inside.

I really want to play. Please fix it as soon as possible T.T

Loading done in POE insanely badly indeed.
It is sooo SLOW, and it recompiles shaders every time I go into a zone
No caching ....

When I was C++ engineer at game dev I wrote fast loading (Echelon Wind warriors data tools is programmed by me)
I feel this. I wont risk my PC hard freezing so I wont be playing this until its fully resolved. They need to fix this I dont mind crashes to desktop in beta but the full PC freeze is unacceptable.
Just checked to see.... still not fixed? Lmao

I stopped playing after 8 hours months ago with all the freezes. Unplayable.

Cant wait for next poe 1 league
This problem is solved for me.

My PC does not freeze during loading screens anymore after last patch and wanted to say thank you to the GGG team whoever was working on this.

Although my PC was still getting blue screens (which is different problem than complete PC freeze), I found out disabling PBO and EXPO from bios solved that. Now I can play the game with no issue.

Hey everyone. My gaming comp (i9-14900K, RTX 4090) is yet still crashing all the time despite of all what has been offered for fix (here, steam, reddit). Now the funny part is that my old 2017 razor blade laptop has not crashed a single time. 200+ hours with it. And they both have same windows versions.

Now my question is, does anyone know which combination of older prosessor and graphics card has been working most efficiently? Or even without any crashes? My old laptop is lagging so hard if i Juice up my maps and T4 pinnacles are a nightmare with ball lightning.


So after trying pretty much everything (list is too long to mention everything) this dude on reddit solved my problem. By installing Intel extreme tuning utility and lowering p Core to 53 and efficient core to 43, not a single crash in 3 days. Virtual memory increase, shader cache del, lasso, poeuncrasher, vulkan, NVIDIA settings, bios update, win 1123 or all of those other things did not help at all.

So for Intel peeps this should help


I also tried this, and after testing for 8h gameplay, haven't had any crashes. Normally would've had 8-12 crashes or more.

Latest hardware from intel and Nvidia dont get along anymore?
checking for fix, still nothing?

Same the latest windows update messed my game up. I'm now freezing in Poe 1 and Poe 2 again as before last week it was fine.
What fixes the freezing for me entirely is disabling core 0 in task manager. That give the computer enough background resources so you can end the program and relaunch it. However the freezing was fixed until a windows update a few days ago for me. I'm back to disabling core 0-1.
