Lost City crashes game

I clicked to enter lost city in act 2 and it crashed the game. now i can't get back into that character because it just crashes. tried multiple servers, restarted computer, entered a different character and came back....still crashes every time.

I'm having similar problems in The Lost City as well as the Keth Sub-areas - I've been able to access the area, and then as I cross into different tiles the game freezes and crashes.

I'm Playing on an AMD Ryzen with a Geforce for Graphics, 32GB of RAM, London EU for server.

Same thing just happened to me. Tried to enter Lost City and now I can't ge back in after the crash.

Posting this here to get more visibility

I am still running into this using the latest version of POE2 playing as the huntress. Same issue with the monk as well.

running Windows 11 (10.0.26100 Build 26100)
AMD Ryzen 7 7700X 8-Core Processor chipset version 6.01.25.342
AMD 7900xtx AMD Adrenalin 25.3.1
32 GB of Rams

Switching to Vulkan did not resolve the issue.
Already try verifying the game's integrity within Steam.
Tried updating to the latest AMD graphic driver.
Cannot find PatchCheck.exe in the game directory.

As soon as I enter Lost City, it would crash
